Increasing numbers of small businesses are using eBay to sell their products. In some cases, the entire business is focused on selling on eBay. But how easy is it to get started selling on eBay and is using eBay an effective way to reach a niche market?

In this selling on eBay case study, our tester sought answers to these questions by becoming an eBay seller selling a product that appeals to a particular niche market over a three month period. In this case, the product was sold to benefit the Y2K Spitfire Project, a non-profit organization, but the eBay selling process and the lessons learned apply equally to for-profit businesses.

Collections of WWII Pilot Profiles, published by Robert Taylor. Each collection comes packaged in an attractive binder with the RCAF logo on it.

The selling on eBay process:

The first step was to register and create an eBay seller’s account. Then, following the Selling on eBay Quick Start Guide, sales listing for the items were created.

He included a photo of one of the individual Pilot Profiles in each eBay listing. None of the eBay special promotion features, such as Featured Plus or Highlight were used, as these have an additional cost when you’re selling on eBay.

Our eBay seller chose to list the items individually rather than using a multiple items listing, being aware that the product would appeal to a particular niche market and thinking that it would be more profitable to sell the items individually over a period of time. (Later he discovered that he couldn’t have used a multiple item auction anyhow as a new seller, because you need 30 pieces of feedback first.)

I agree.. Auction websites like e bay do perform a solid platform for small business holders and beginners..
I also came across this restriction that in order to have multiple auction items you need to have certain number of feed backs...
