eBay top Seller - My Own Small Business

Growing up into a family who all was built around tradition and business men was tough for me. I wanted to become independent, and start work for my own. Being women who loves beauty supplies and fashion working for Avon at home wasn't cutting it.

So I decided to take matters into my own hands and start working with eBay. I'd go out to outlets and find out products were actually cheaper there, and most people were willing to pay double the amount I paid for the item on eBay!

So that drove me into purchasing more than one item. And when I got home it was as simple as taking a decent picture of the item and posting. Before I knew it I had around nine bids on the next day. This motivated me to go out and pay more products and list them!

Soon I grew a friendly relationship with my costumers. They began placing orders, and they was my hard fall, was when the costumers would ask for a certain colour or size and I wouldn't be able to find what they were looking for.
I began losing costumers. That following week my numbers where down in payments and I needed a quick come back so I decided ask around for advice from a friend who was very well into the online business.

That following week I decided to open up my very own eBay store, and began to send out personal emails with the ones who have purchased from me before and to the new costumers. The emails would explain how I give out weekly deals and season sales in my store, as well as weekly giveaways! Costumers were very excited and would tell their friends and family. Before I knew it, I was one of eBay’s top sellers!

I benefited very well with eBay's online business, simply because it showed and taught me things I haven't knew from before. It also gave me great publicity, so now I can open up my own online store and possibly, create and sell some of my own fashions and designs!

The advice I'd give to a person who is looking to do online business is, to be patience, everyone has a down fall. And when it happens don't be afraid to ask around or search for help and ideals.
