eBay Strategy #1: Understand Your True Earnings
Summary:
Many eBay sellers rely on their sales as a primary income source, yet they often don’t know their actual profits. It's crucial to get a clear picture of your financials on eBay.Understanding Your Profits
Selling on eBay can be thrilling, especially when you see money rolling into your PayPal account. I remember those late nights fueled by excitement. But as basketball coach John Wooden wisely said, "Never confuse activity with achievement." Just being busy doesn't mean you're meeting your financial goals.
How to Calculate Your Real eBay Earnings
Accurately tracking your profits starts with the basic formula:
Revenue - Expenses = Profit
For instance, if you buy something for $1.00 and sell it for $5.00, a simple calculation might suggest a $4.00 profit. However, without considering all expenses, you may actually lose money.
If you aim to make $30,000 a year, you need to clear about $82 daily. Suppose you purchase an item for $10.00 that typically sells for $20.00 with a 70% success rate. You'd need to list 12 items daily to meet your goal.
This amounts to 70 auctions a week. Exceeding this may require hiring help, increasing expenses, and affecting your profits.
Finding Repeatable Success
This isn’t meant to discourage you but to highlight the financial realities of selling on eBay. The key is to find items you can consistently sell, minimizing labor and maximizing profits.
Continuously assess the value of your time. Not all items require the same effort; for example, listing clothes is time-consuming. One of the most labor-intensive tasks is photographing items. If you can sell certain items repeatedly without extensive photography, listing becomes easier.
Conclusion
To succeed, treat your eBay business like any other?"regularly review your numbers to ensure you're on track financially. By understanding your true earnings, you can make informed decisions and grow your eBay business effectively.
