The Fundamental Idea of Online Auction Business
The Fundamental Idea of Online Auction Business By Pradeep
Aggarwal
For a myriad reasons, online auction sites are an excellent to
sell a product for a good price. What makes it so different from
the conventional stores and malls is you have all the time in
the world to surf the listings and more so.. the bidding takes
place for days not minutes. It is an excellent opportunity for
budding entrepreneurs to make a successful business if you have
the persistence and the will to do it.
The Fundamental Idea:
Basically your primary role to play an intermediary role of a
catalyst helping people buy products of their choice. To get
started, you don't need to stock items for you can start placing
drop shipper's items on eBay. This concept is by those who don't
wish to stock inventory of products sold for future delivery
through mail order, catalogues and Internet Advertising. When
you send single unit orders to the manufacturers or major stock
distributors, they in turn ship the item directly to the
customers found at online auction, benefiting them by savings on
advertising and costs to middlemen. This way your stocking
inventory risks are minimized with added savings on storage,
insurance, overhead and keeping sold until sold.
Advantages:
Starting a business with minimum capital. You loose a few
dollars in eBay fees if your items don't sell. Disadvantages:
The hindrance is no public information on general sales methods
and techniques used. Time is essence, required to work all the
time to run the business, since this is not a passive
income
method.
Mistakes to Avoid:
1. Keep in mind the days when auctions are in full swing usually
on Sunday evenings. A wrong auction expiration time could be
fatal. 2. Give adequate attention to your listings. Provide
complete information to the prospective bidders so that they can
act fast. Avoid flashy designs and animated texts. They only
make customers irritating resulting in loss of business. 3.
People usually don't bid on Reserve. Avoid it. Obviously the
customers don't like to receive a message 'Reserve not yet met'
message. 4. The fundamental rule for any business is having a
Business Plan. The fundamentals must be strong. Have a definite
business plan and work accordingly. 5. Stability is the key.
Your business model must be stable. Keeping changing the
suppliers and manufacturers lest you could get bogged down with
a few only.
