Use eBay to Become a Top Seller on ZoBids
Now that you know ZoBids can make you a fortune-how will you do it? This eBay alternative is going to use eBay to make you successful. It's all well and good to set up an account on ZoBids, list a few items and sell them, but anyone can do that. Wouldn't you rather become a TOP SELLER on ZoBids? Wouldn't you like to bring in thousands and thousands of dollars a month?Who wouldn't?
The first thing that you have to do to understand how ZoBids works is to understand the way eBay works, the way a buyer's mind works and what attracts them and how to make your offers irresistible to them. This eBay alternative can compete with Ebay but put more money in the seller's pocket.
Don't just look around your house, see something that you're not using any longer and decide that would be a nice thing to get rid of. Unless that's exactly what you want to do.
Wouldn't you rather discover what eBay buyers are buying and duplicate it on ZoBids? You need to know what items to sell, what to charge for them and how to sell them. In order to do this you're going to have to put in a little study time-but that's ok, because it's going to help you get an edge over other eBay sellers.
The first things you need to do is look at past sales trends on eBay and use this research for your ZoBids store. EBay makes this easy for you by providing a Completed Listings search tool. By using this tool you can see what items sold for, what percentages were sold, and discover selling strategies that worked the items you're planning on selling.
Go to eBay and click on the Advanced Search at the top of the page. Enter the items that you want to know about. Say you're planning on selling used cell phones. Enter those keywords; check the Completed Listings Only box and click on the search button. Pages of items that have sold will load for you and you'll be able to view what other sellers listed their used cell phones for, what types, brands, with what features and how they sold.
Used cell phones (our example item) that sold are marked in green. The ones that didn't sell are in red. Because you don't want your potential item to be marked in red (unsold) you're going to study the successful sales groups. What was the final selling price for the item? What's a usual starting price?
Study the ads of those that sold versus the ones that didn't: how did they phrase their ad? Did they use bold titles? How did they describe their product? Look at the pictures they used and see how they presented their item for sale. Was the item featured using subtitles, bolded text or more photos from the gallery? Top sellers often use the upgraded features to showcase their wares-to garner more attention and thus make more sales.
If your ad stands out it's more likely to get noticed and bid on.
Did the seller have a posted guarantee or return policy? Check their shipping rates and features. Did the seller upgrade to What kinds of payment did the seller accept?
Your item is more likely to sell if you offer more payment methods. EBay allows you to accept certain kinds of payment options and decline to use others.
The options available for being paid on eBay are the following:
*PayPal
*Credit cards
*Cashier's Checks
*Money Orders
*Bank Checks
Most sellers on eBay take PayPal and some take PayPal and credit card payments.
It stands to reason that the more payment methods you accept, the more likely you are to make a sale on ZoBids. The problem lies in the fact that some people who purchase on eBay are not always scrupulous. Although there are plenty of honest buyers who prefer to purchase on eBay with money orders and cashier's checks, there are also many who use those methods of payment fraudulently and you're opening yourself up to some risk. Fake money orders are a real problem and you will have to decide if you're willing to take on that issue.
In order to understand what's going on with supply and demand for used cell phones (or any item that you're looking to sell) do an active listings search.
This will show you how many are for sale, asking prices and give you ideas on how to word YOUR ads.
ZoBids online auction site is an eBay Alternative. ZoBids will be going head to head with eBay for auction site competition. There is no doubt eBay has been hugely successful in giving sellers a vehicle to make tons of money online, but at the same time taking advantage of the sellers that make them the money with their ridiculous selling fees. The market is ripe for a new eBay alternative. Why not take advantage of this with ZoBids and put a lot more money in your, the seller, pocket?

- This is awsome, Zobid is going to launch and it will be great. I just talked to a lady who owns an antique mall in my town and she has araound 12 vendors who do sell on ebay, they will be going to Zobids when it launches because they are fed up with ebay.
Long live Zobids

- Yes, I have heard that Zobids WILL allow digi downloads, but even more than that they will have a special system so they will automate the downloading process (ie. you don't have to host the product yourself)
To Zobids!

- Interested to see how this site fares against eBay. I used to sell on eBay but quit once their fees got to out of control. Is Zobids going to allow digital products for sale? I would love to get back in the game and find a company that will work with its sellers and that isn't eBay!
