EBay: The Ultimate Business Simulator
A seller’s customer service on eBay is unparalleled. Because eBay does not tolerate customer dissatisfaction, it weeds out the bad seeds very quickly. EBay customers are very educated and price conscious and therefore prove to be very difficult to deal with. EBay buyers will hassle you about mistakes in your listing, delays in shipping and virtually anything you can imagine. The key to customer service is patience: Never retaliate negatively to a customer complaint. Be prepared to take a loss and refund listings. More importantly, be prepared to learn something from each customer interaction.
In 2002, eBay ended its battle with PayPal and purchased the company for $1.5 billion. With PayPal, the leading online service for electronic payments, you can send money to some place across the world within a few seconds. Better yet, it’s the cheapest way to charge credit cards, and it is a powerful tool in fraud protection. PayPal is very intuitive and easy to learn. Running an eBay business without PayPal is like running a steakhouse that doesn’t accept credit cards. I do not recommend it.
The most valuable experience of being en “eBay-preneur” is learning how to deal with suppliers. You can find suppliers virtually anywhere for your business. It’s best to find large suppliers that can send you the same product time after time. Because eBay has an unlimited amount of suppliers in every individual market. It creates fierce competition which, in turn, cuts prices and profit margins to razor thin. This makes many eBay industries unprofitable. Though it is difficult to make a profit on eBay, it is very possible. However, it does take a lot of forethought and innovative strategy. EBay gives an unprecedented amount of information for both buyers and sellers.
