Getting the "Best" out off eBay!

In my opinion eBay is very greedy. Taking 9% on everything you sell including shipping plus an insertion fee! How in the world can we make money! I have read around the internet and seen many people complain about the fees being to HIGH! Although many people complain, they still use it. Including me. I used it because it is the easier way to sell things fast. They have a huge audience and I (anyone) need that to make a sale. So how do I make the Best out of eBay you say?
I don't! Just Kidding!

Some Tips!
1. Take advantage of the free insertion fees on auction!

eBay offers free insertion fee when your item starts as a penny! BE CAREFUL! Study your item on eBay and get a view on how much your item sells for. Chances are your item might sell the same, or even more.

2. "Steal eBay's Audience" 

eBay has existed in the World Wide Web for a long time. Through out that time eBay has accumulated many people. Put a link in the description of your site. I do not think it is against the rules to post links leading to another buying page (your page). For this you need PayPal. Learn how to make Buy Now Buttons on Paypal. PayPal fees are like 1%-2%, much cheaper than eBay.

3.Watch the news.
Most of the time items being sold on eBay are things that happen in the world for example "Charlie Sheen" His tickets sold very high once he became a sensation Another example is Osaama Bin Laden's death. On eBay they sold for about 10-20 dollars for the newspaper. So keep up with the news and take advantage of what the world brings.
