Business Computing Tips

By K&K Fainges kfainges@bigpond.net.au

 

Lots of people use Ebay for buying things. Some even use it as a sort of online garage sale. 

You can use it to sell your product without having a store front.

It can also be used to get a rough idea of what the market may bear for pricing. 

If you list your product a few times, and it never gets above $1, then either there isn't a large market for it, or people don't see a lot of value in it.

if it explodes in a flurry of bidding, well, you are on a winner.

Visit www.ebay.com  or the Australian version at www.ebay.com.au for all the details for selling your things online.

There is a whole section for ebooks too. Check out some ideas for how to publish your own book using ebay and paypal on http://shayton.net/10_steps_to_self.htm
