Reselling eBooks on eBay . . Check it out!

**scyrusurcys** · 06-18-2006 12:38 AM

Hey guys, I've recently found a really effective way of making some quick cash. All you have to do is buy a few eBooks and resell them on eBay. Most people are buying them in a large package (by the hundreds or even thousands) for less than $20 and reselling them for about $1-$5 each. They're really selling! So I've taken a little investment and put together an eBook CD of thousands of different cooking recipes - try it out! You could make some killer cash with this!

eBay Number:
7041754557

I hope this doesn't qualify as spam. I'm only trying to bring in new ideas for marketing.

it is kinda good advice you're giving people there but at the same time, your advertsing your store well i say no harm in that

.

I have found a few ebooks that i can resell on ebay for free(with master resell rights) and i've seen them going for anywhere from $1-$5 like you mentioned, i'm going to have to find them again and download them to use for myself or sell on ebay, seperate and as a package.

Anyways good luck with the cd you made

If the person had made more than 1 post I wouldn't see it as spam, but it was ther first post.

Anyway, I flirted with the idea of selling ebooks on eBay, but when it came down to it there was too much competition, and not enough profit. Even if you sell a free ebook for 99p you are only making about 40p profit. When you consider only 1 in 5 listed wil sell, the figures dont look good at all.

What it really came down to for me, was that it was no fun. I sell Gameboy games, when I get a shipment I can sit and play... I mean test them for 3 or 4 hours, and at the end of the week I pick up $40 for my trouble.

Why would someone want to pay for an ebook though? No offence when you can usually find them on the net for free.

I tried selling ebooks on ebay as well. This one guy seemed so successful and I really wanted to follow in his footsteps. I bought a book for £5 and then tried to sell it for £5. I received 1 sale, ended up with a load of fees. I tried again, no sales, and again, no sales.

Ebooks = Waste of time and effort (and sanity). I say go with a physical product if you want to sell on eBay!

BTW, I've got an ebook about "How to Make Money Selling Ebooks on Ebay" sitting on my comp. $5 anyone?

Sell ti for a lower price e.g £2.50 - you could attract more customers to purchase the product and make the money back but over a longer period of time.

Well if I sold it for £2.50, it is likely now that I'll get very few sales, considering the fact that I don't have an eBay shop, my feedback is pretty low at 62 odd, and I have one ebook to sell!!!

The only way to make real money with E-Books is with volume. You need lots of different products (at least 100+ different auctions with ebooks) and you should focus on improving your ASR (average sell-thru ratio).

What you need need need if you are going to do this is Hammertap Deep Analysis. This will tell you what keywords to use for each different ebook so you can get the most views and consequently the most sales.
