How To MINIMIZE Your Effort On eBay

The aim of this article is to show you how to set up an EFFICIENT, EASY TO RUN, PROFITABLE eBay business that earns sufficient income to maintain a HIGH STANDARD OF LIVING while allowing you sufficient free time to enjoy a HIGH QUALITY OF LIFE.

Unfortunately, many eBay sellers spend LONG hours listing products, answering emails, packing and shipping products for less than the minimum wage instead of enjoying a high standard of living and quality of life. The reason is that their business is inefficient. The more sales they make, the harder they must work.

They are, in effect, working FOR eBay (by generating lots of eBay fees).

Don't let that happen to you. You need to set your eBay business up so that it is efficient and you spend less time fulfilling orders. That means that you have more free time and/or can sell more in the time that you are working. You must AUTOMATE your business as much as possible so things happen automatically on "auto-pilot".

You can automate your post auction email communications to the winning bidder. Vendio's Buyer Appreciation FREE service will help you automate all necessary email correspondence throughout the sales process, including Winning Bidder Notifications, Payment Received Notifications, Shipment Notifications, Feedback Reminder Notifications, and much more.

eBay's Selling Manager is also FREE if you have an eBay Store. It's designed to make volume selling more efficient. You can track all of your selling activity from one convenient location in My eBay and automate much of the post sale process which can otherwise be very time-consuming when you are running a successful business on eBay.

If a buyer pays with PayPal, or goes through the eBay checkout process, Selling Manager automatically records their information so you can instantly fill in a buyer's name and address with a few clicks. There's no need to retype anything, which saves you a lot of time.

eBay's Selling Manager gives ready access to eBay's Shipping Calculator so you can quickly and accurately calculate shipping costs. It also makes it easy to combine multiple sales from one buyer to make both shipping and payment more efficient.

eBay's Selling Manager also provides fully customisable templates for all your post sale customer communications such as: Winning buyer notification, Payment reminder, Payment received, Request for shipping address, Feedback reminder, Shipping notification, etc so you don't have to compose them after each sale. It even fills in your buyer's contact details for you! You can add your own custom header or a Pay Now button to your emails as well as up-sales and cross-sales.

eBay's Selling Manager allows you to easily print labels and invoices at the click of a button. You can store customised feedback comments and send them in bulk.

eBay's Selling Manager also lets you relist your unsold items in bulk to save valuable time or relist them as Store Inventory if you have an eBay store.
