Online Auctions - How To Get The Ultimate Edge On eBay
By Fabian Tan

There are many ways to increase your profits on eBay. You can write better auctions, offer better products, offer better customer service and sell more items to increase your feedback score, which in turn increases your sales. But the ultimate edge in eBay is in selling high-ticket products that earn you more profits per sale.

Why is this so?

1. You need to work less to earn the same amount as money as you would selling lower-ticket products. (You ship less products, do less customer service and generally have less work to do)

2. It takes less time and less sales to reach your sales goals. As an example, let's say you are selling a $25 product. It will take 40 sales for you to reach a sales goal of $1000. On the other hand, if you are selling a $100 product, you will only need to get 10 sales to reach this goal. Don't think the number of sales you get will drop like crazy. In fact, they might increase! This is because the price you place on a product determines the value of the product in your customer's head. An expensive product is often linked to "higher value".

Another good reason for selling more expensive items is that you will get customers who are sophisticated. Such customers are used to buying higher-ticket items. Believe it or not, you will receive less refund requests and you will have less customer service hassles to deal with.

So instead of selling clothes or low-end jewellery, consider selling more expensive items like home stereo sets, digital cameras, home gyms and golf clubs.
