How To Sell Things On Ebay That You Can’t Sell On Ebay

Ebay Expert Jim Cockrum tells you how to sell things on ebay that you’re not allowed to sell on ebay.

It’s also an excellent strategy for building a customer list using Ebay’s vast traffic while complying with the rules of that community… Consider it a way to build your list and “break even” in the process instead of just spending money on advertising.

How?

It’s easier than you think. This is from Jim’s free ezine Creative Ebay Selling

Hello Jim,

I’m trying to figure out how I can market a product called ________ on the internet. The company that provides this product does not allow us to sell it on Ebay even though there are a few folks who are. They will likely lose their distributorship for doing so.

If you could take the time to give me a suggestion I’d sure appreciate it. I’ve read your newsletter since 2004 and love it!

Sincerely

Hi -

Thanks for reading!

Since you mentioned the word “distributorship” in your question I’ll assume you are involved with a “network marketing” company.

These companies don’t like to see distributors using eBay for various reasons. That’s the bad news.

There is good news for the creative eBay seller though!

You have to play by the rules when selling your network marketing company products on the web, but you can sell a $.99 cent report that compares all the competing products
and shows why yours is the best.

You can also set up a website that you legally funnel “targeted” traffic to from eBay by selling tangible items that are of interest to your target market.

Create informational products that establish you as an expert on the topic and THEN sell the high profit products from your own website after you’ve earned the right!

Using these strategies you gain something far more valuable than a sale…you grow a list of loyal lifetime customers!
