Online flea markets and classified sites have grown more than 80% in the past year, according to a recent study done by the Pew Internet and American Life Project. In addition, approximately 1 in 6 American adults have sold something using the Internet, which equates to about 25 million people.

Taking advantage of this growing trend is extremely important if you plan on being competitive in the online flea market game. For instance, Craiglist.org had more than eight thousand unique visitors in September of 2005 (the top auction, classified and flea market site on the web for the same time frame) with Trader Publishing Company a close second. With this many people using what technically are online versions of the flea market concept, you have a bevy of qualified, interested users constantly at your fingertips. Combine this with other, related Internet technologies (such as e-commerce and e-storefronts) and you have a win-win situation for many online wholesalers. Some other benefits of selling in the online buy and sell marketplace:

Minimal Investment: The initial outlay for wholesalers looking to resell wares through flea markets is low, at best. Plus, if you find drop shippers who can provide you with the product(s) your customers want, your initial investment drops even further, since you don’t have to carry any inventory.

Low Skill Set Required: Except for some highly specialized collectors or items (such as comic books or antiques), most online flea market sellers can get by with only minimal knowledge regarding the products they sell. Other than learning how to run an online business, almost anyone can get started easily.

Highly Flexible: Buying and selling high-demand items online is a very flexible business opportunity. You can work from home, on your own time, at times that are the most convenient for you – not your bosses.

Whether you choose to sell apparel, electronics, toys or handbags (or all four!), the message is clear: the online marketplace for flea market items is growing, and shows no sign of slowing down anytime soon.

L@@K !!!

Let’s face it, ‘L@@K’ is really not a good beginning to an article, and it’s definitely not good to include in the Title for your eBay listing.

Why, you ask? Isn’t L@@K a good eye catcher? Won’t people scrolling through the categories on eBay notice it and click through to the description, bid on your item and make you gobs of money? Well, perhaps, and perhaps people have learned to tune out the little gimmick. The reality is, a great number of people find items on eBay using the search function, and I don’t know of many people who search for “L@@K”. (Okay, in researching this article I searched for L@@K and I found 135,726 listings on eBay that recently included L@@K in their titles!)

eBay only allows you 55 characters in your title to bring people to your auction, so you have to use those characters wisely. You have to include words in your title that people are typing into the search box. Words like “WOW,” “rare,” “beautiful,” “cool,” or “unusual” are a big waste of eBay real estate.

What makes a good title? Well, that, of course, depends on the item you have up for auction. You have to anticipate what people will type into the search box. Many people make the mistake of thinking it’s redundant to include the category name (such as “men’s shirt”) because they placed their item in the “men’s shirt” category and they figure it’s obvious. However, since a majority of people search through the search box, if they were looking for a “Men’s large Hawaiian shirt” that’s probably what they’d type in the search box. It doesn’t matter if you placed your item in “men’s shirts – casual” or “Collectibles – Cultures – Ethnicities – Hawaiiana.,” If your title shouts “WOW – Cool Vintage Kahala Shirt – L@@K” and the person typed in “Men’s large Hawaiian shirt,” the both of you will never make contact and you will lose a potential sale.

Make sure you also anticipate different words for the same item. I used to sell Lu-Ray dinnerware from the 1940s. Well, there are three different ways that people search for Lu-Ray: Lu-Ray, Luray and Lu Ray. I had to include both Lu-Ray (Lu Ray and Lu-Ray are considered the same) and Luray if I wanted to bring the greatest number of people to my auctions. The same with “cowboy boots.” To some people they’re “cowboy boots” and to some they’re “western boots.”

If there’s a popular misspelling you might see if you can squeeze that in your title as well. For example, a Jack Lalanne Juicer to many people is a Jack Lalane Juicer.

It’s always good to check out similar items as yours to see what others have put in their titles. See if there’s a difference between very successful auctions and those that didn’t sell. Many times it boils down to the title. Great titles bring the most people to their auctions. Flashy titles which waste precious characters are seen by no one – as in “Don’t L@@K now, but you have no bids.”

From the islands of Hawaii to the snow capped Colorado mountains and even the sunshine state of Florida, eBay’s marketplace is becoming a hub among real estate moguls. As a benefit to the buyers, competitive pricing and a wide selection of homesites are available throughout the real estate category. Sellers, on the other hand, have access to a world of customers who are looking for a place to build their dream home, vacation getaway or simply to be used as an investment.

In the past, owner financing was a term used to describe a real estate transaction from person to person. Now, it’s a common phrase that is used to describe the internet real estate market. An increasing number of real estate companies and owners now offer fixed interest rates, no credit check and no application to any buyer who promises to make timely payments. When entering into an owner financing agreement, a written contract will be signed by both parties and will document such things as payment amount, number of payments, purchase price, interest rate, etc.

The most important thing to consider when participating in any real estate transaction is that a legal deed will be provided at the conclusion of the final payment. With owner financing, the deed will generally remain in the sellers name until the new buyer has fulfilled the contract. Every buyer should make sure that the deed is free and clear of any liens, foreclosures, etc. In addition, the issue of any potential back taxes should be addressed. Most reputable real estate sellers will disclose the information but, if not, the buyer needs to ask.

Purchasing real estate online can be scary and some may find it a unique way to do business but, for those who have found the experience to be positive, they wouldn’t hesitate to return to the bidding block for their next real estate purchase. If at all possible, the potential buyer should arrange to view the property or, at the very least, request detailed photos. Site unseen is a questionable way to make a large purchase but, for some, it may be the only way to own the homesite of their dreams. Individuals with past credit problems who would otherwise be denied a loan will likely benefit from owner financing due to the fact that every buyer receives the same fixed interest rate for the life of the loan and no credit check is performed. Individuals with irregular income or those who have difficulty obtaining a traditional loan are learning the benefits of purchasing real estate online.

With a conventional loan, the down payment is typically 10-20% of the total purchase price. But, many eBay real estate sellers allow buyers to actually bid on the down payment. The final bid amount for the down payment is then deducted from the total due and the number of monthly payments are calculated accordingly. For years, buyers have enjoyed bidding on jewelry, collectibles, clothes and other merchandise. These days, they are often found bidding on down payments, land and even homes.

Sniping always occurs when a bid is about to end.
Sniping is against the rules at eBay, but in most cases, even if you report it, the sniper will get away with it. In order to avoid losing the items you want to snipers at eBay, you have to take on the sniper way of thinking. You also need to snipe in a way that will not violate eBay’s rules.

Snipping can be done in one of two ways. The first way is the safest, but not necessarily the easiest.
Simply keep up with the item you are bidding on.
And make certain that you are in front of your computer and logged into the auction well before that exact time. The idea is to either bid higher than the highest bid during the last few seconds – which is what snipers do – or to just make sure that you are not outbid by a sniper.

Keep in mind that sniping is against the rules, so you should log in about thirty or forty five minutes before the bidding ends, and get your bid up until it is the highest bid. If you’ve been logged in for a while, this cannot be considered sniping.

Unfortunately it is very hard to bid against people who use bidding software. So here is the second method.

Snipping services are easy to find online, and they are fairly cheap. You can also buy your own snipping software. If you want to become a sniper, purchasing your own software is usually the best way to go if you bid on a lot of items.

But remember that it is against the rules, and while eBay hardly ever enforces this rule, you will be running the risk of getting banned from eBay.

Outbidding somebody is one thing, sniping is something altogether different.
