Selling your ideas on eBay

I have not blogged for a while, so I apologize to anyone who cares. For a couple of months now I have been thinking about how one sells their invention or idea "on eBay". When gas prices in my town rose to an outrageous $4.69 per gallon, my father started to play with hydrogen to run car engines on. This is a whole other story in itself but that's how I got interested in "how to sell your ideas on eBay". Following are a few aspects to consider:

• Keep it your own - Patent, license, trademark, copyright, etc.
• Prototype - is it safe, legal and does what you claim.
• Manufacture - how and where would manufacturing take place. What is the cost and how much could the product be sold for.
• Market and Promote - find out if there is a market (will people be interested in buying such a product). Be able to explain why it is so special and what it can do.
• Disclaimers - cover your butt. Make sure if the product is complicated or not idiot proof that all instructions or warnings stated clearly.

If you follow through with selling something of your own, you need to realize that you are to become an entrepreneur. This means that every step and action stems from you. Even if you hire someone to do something for you and they screw up, it comes back on you. There is much to be written on this subject and I will continue to do just that. This initial post is to get you started thinking. Important sites are United Inventors Association and United States Patent and Trademark Office.

Get $100 Off Your Online Product Source

Around five months ago I wrote on Worldwide Brands, the Online Source For Products To Sell On Ebay. CEO Chris Malta is, for the first and maybe last time, taking $100.00 off of the combined price for both membership to Worldwide Brands and The Whole $ale. Just a recap, Worldwide is one of the most reputable companies on providing legit product suppliers, wholesalers, drop shippers, liquidators and you name it. Also comes with Instant Market Research Tool to help you find profitable niches and they are CERTIFIED by eBay. The Whole $ale is a "product sourcing educational package" which includes a community forum with direct support and guidance from CEO Chris Malta. Of course there are bonuses like tools, resources and videos. With this package there is nothing left out for you to start selling online. There are even instruction on how to start your business with a tax ID number and so on. So get it while the gettings hot, $100.00 off the complete package. You can pay the whole amount up front or $99.00 down and three payments of $133.00. I am aware it is a little pricey but it's worth it!!!!

Using Video To Help You Sell On Ebay

I highly recommend having video on your listings especially for large and expensive items. For instance: automobiles, watercraft or off road vehicles. Most sellers only use video for moving items like stated before, but it works well with any type of merchandise. If you have an antique bedroom set, you can walk around the items showing every angle and speaking of its importance at the same time. If you have a camcorder, great, if not usually a digital camera will do since most have at least a few minutes of video capability.

• Don't make your video long and pointless. Make a list beforehand of what is important.
• Have adequate lighting. Do not make a video outside at night with a house light on, wait until daylight.
• Only the item should be seen. Anything else can make the eye wonder.

There are rules to abide by. All of eBay's normal policies apply and here are a few to really look out for. Your video must not include any software that harms or interferes with the customers computer, like viruses. Video must deliver in Flash Animation Format. Also, must be hosted by a site that provides safe content. Use YouTube or Vzarr. iwantcollectibles gives some instruction on using YouTube. So, I hope I have succeeded in you thinking about using video to sell on eBay. In some cases it can help you get more money for your item. If nothing else video can be a fun way of delivering lots of information about your item.
