Getting Started on eBay
Tips and FAQ for a Home Business

Once you have created an account that reflects either your business name or a catchy name that people will remember, it's time to get building up your reputation. Your eBay reputation is the key to people trusting you. Some people on eBay are slimes and will use and abuse you. Those are typically people with bad ratings! Once you build up your rating to 50 or higher, you have proven to people that you are NOT in that crowd. They will be far more likely to trust you with their money.

So how do you do that? You buy and sell things of course. Start with very small things. People are traditionally nervous about trusting high money items to zero-rated people. Find some small things you're interested in and bid on them. Eventually you'll win a few bids. Pay PROMPTLY to earn that positive rating. Once you get a few points, try selling an item or two that you have lying around the house. Be sure to take good photos of it and to describe it completely. The aim here is not to make hoards of cash - it's to build up your rating. So be brutally honest. Make sure you send it as soon as you get the cash.

Once you get in the 50+ range, you are now a pretty well trusted person on eBay. People figure that you have made a number of transactions, it is no longer a "fluke" that you got good ratings. Now you can really delve into your main mission in eBay, whatever that might be.
