Here is a link to an EBay tool that is being tested right now that looks as though it has a lot of potential to help you get some good deals on eBay:
It is a unique set up from what I have seen out on the net as far as eBay tools goes. It is a buyer’s tool rather than a seller’s. However, if you do the “eBay arbitrage” thing - buying something on eBay at a cheap price that you can then relist yourself to sell for a profit, then this search tool can help you in that way.
It allows you to save eBay searches and then get notified when there is a listing posted on eBay that matches your search criteria.
There is also an affiliate program that you could join, so that you earn some residual income as well as save money.
The idea is to save you time when initially getting set up using it, but ultimately, for best results you will want to customize your searches even further, which you can do if you register to be a member, which is a very quick process.
When your welcome e-mail is sent to you, you’ll have to confirm your e-mail address so the site will know that you have submitted your correct e-mail address, but that only takes a couple of seconds and initially signing up doesn’t take much more time than that.
Give it a try or at least give it a look to see what you think and see if it can help you.
Now, about the “Tips for Buying on eBay, Getting Deals on eBay” series of posts I have been making - or actually not making, lately.
There have been a few changes at eBay since I started posting the series, and there are more changes coming from eBay. It looks as though they are trying to increase the number of fixed price or “Buy it Now” listings and move away from auctions.
I have seen a couple articles about this speculating why eBay is doing this, figuring that many people do not want to wait for an auction to end to buy what it is they want, they want it now.
I highly doubt that auction going to completely disappear from eBay, I’m curious to see what happens. I am wondering if one of the other smaller auction websites out there will finally step up and actually give eBay some competition.
Complaints from eBay sellers seem to be all over the Internet nowadays, it seems that someone could take advantage of the situation and possibly offer these sellers an alternative, but it has not happened yet and eBay has been upsetting both buyers and sellers for quite awhile now.
I will do a bit more research about that and make a post in the near future, and finish up the other series I started.
In the meantime, I suggest that you check out the link that I posted above and see what you think.
