Here are 10 moneymaking reasons why you should sign up for eBay today

Every day across Australia, tens of thousands of men and women buy and sell on eBay. It doesn’t take Einstein to understand why: you can pick up something you want for a bargain price. You can have people bid against each other to buy something of yours you no longer need.

If you’re looking for a an easy, instant, low risk, fully scalable home business, where you can start seeing profits within seven days, you should definitely take a look at eBay. Here are 10 reasons why…

  1. You don’t need to buy any expensive equipment to be a success on eBay: a computer and fairly decent Internet connection are all you need. A set of weighing scales is useful to calculate postage rates. A digital camera is handy, but not essential.
  2. No prior qualifications, experience or knowledge are needed: there are no exams to sit and no long, expensive training programmes you need to complete before you start making money from eBay.
  3. You don’t need tons of money to get started: You can get up and running on eBay.com.au for a few bucks and your ongoing fees are minimal. Setting this business up takes around half an hour!
  4. There are no “extra” costs once you’re up and running: an eBay business is 100% scalable and self-financing. Your profits cover your costs many times over. This is not a capital-hungry home business.
  5. You don’t need to build a costly website: There’s one already established and waiting for you to use. You make all your money through eBay.com.au – and it takes care of all the transactions too!
  6. You don’t have to be a marketing expert to put your products in front of millions of potential buyers every month; eBay makes sure that people looking for your product will find it.
  7. You don’t need to work 24/7: with eBay you can make money while you’re out with friends, barbecuing in the back yard, at the footy, even while you sleep! Once you’re up and running, a few hours of “maintenance” work each week will keep your profits ticking over.
  8. You choose how much time you spend on this: you can run your eBay business at your convenience… work when the kids have gone to bed… at evenings or weekends… take a holiday when you want; you can even set this up to make money for you while you’re away!
  9. You never have to make sales calls or deliver customer service by phone: All your correspondence is done by email – which means you can deal with it all at your own pace, in your own time.
  10. Best of all, it’s virtually “recession-proof”: The global economy isn’t out of the woods yet. Many economists are predicting tough times ahead – even for Australians. But with an eBay business this isn’t an issue. In tough times, instead of buying brand new and paying full price, money-conscious shoppers search the online auction site instead to pick up low-reserve-price bargains.

eBay is almost twenty years old now (can you believe it?) yet it’s still one of the best home businesses around. For ordinary Aussies looking to make a few extra dollars a week – or set themselves on the road to financial freedom – eBay is a valuable tool and shouldn’t be ignored. It’s as hands-on as you want it to be. You don’t have to give up your job if you don’t want to – you can do this in a couple of hours a night and pull in enough extra cash to afford life’s little luxuries.OR, you can decide further down the track to take the plunge and make eBay your primary source of income. Like I said, unlike many small businesses, it doesn’t cost much to get started and it’s completely scalable.
