Tags: Ebay: a seller asks the buyer to pay 4% commission if he uses Paypal to pay for the item?
March 10th, 2010 by richermo
Is the customer forced to accept this notice in the description. Isn’t there a Ebay rule or policy that tells the seller to add this 4% immediatly on the auction price. Now the seller is asking me to make a second payment 4% worth de price of the item to pay for the Paypal seller’s commission he had to pay for.
Thank you very much to Judy H.

Doba: What Is There To Complain About?
March 9th, 2010 by richermo
Browsing online, it surprises me just how many complaints there are about the centralized drop ship source Doba.com. It seems that the vast majority of Doba complaints only come from people who don’t know what the system does, or have used it in the past prior to many changes being instigated, so let’s set straight some myths about the Doba model so that you can judge for yourself whether this is a great way to buy wholesale products or not.
The first thing to note is that Doba themselves is not a wholesale supplier. They don’t claim to be. What they are is a centralized wholesale source where you can get the lowest possible prices for drop ship goods to sell in your online retail store.
So this is something completely unlike traditional wholesale sources where you deal with the wholesale supplier, make a bulk purchase, then hold the goods while you wait to sell them all off. The primary advantage that Doba has is that they offer drop shipping. If you don’t already understand what drop shipping is – let me explain briefly.
Drop shipping is where you promote a third party wholesale supplier’s items for sale via whichever you choose. It may be an eBay store, Craigslist, a catalog or your own online presence. Whatever method it is, you don’t order any items until you have made a sale. Once a customer has made a purchase from you, you raise the order with Doba and instruct them to ship directly to your customer.
Because Doba is a centralized drop ship service, they in turn order the wholesale supplier to ship the item to your customer.
Many people get confused the model Doba is implementing as a middleman service, when in fact this is not true. You will pay Doba a monthly subscription fee to use the service, but this subscription fee covers the vast amount of time and effort you would have to spend should you have to place orders for all your products with numerous different dropshippers.
Doba is like a one stop shop for your business. When you are on the look out for products to sell, you go to Doba, when you need to place an order, you go to Doba, when you have to pay for products, you go to Doba – so it’s much simpler to manage your business because you are only dealing with one entity rather than the various ones you would need to deal with to source all the wholesale products that you sell.
It’s this new type of business model that see so many Doba complaints receiving – people simply don’t fully understand that this is a different and more efficient way of doing business. One of the best things about businesses like Doba is that they can obtain a much better price as a large buying entity than you as an individual could ever hope to achieve with a wholesale source.
How do you get access to your money from selling on ebay?
March 8th, 2010 by richermo
I want to sell on ebay- but the way I understand it you can only use the money you make as credits on paypal unless you transfer it to your bank account but I really dont want to give out my bank information and connect it to paypal – is there any other way to credit it to your credit card or something where I can use it other than just online?

March 7th, 2010 by richermo
Is it possible to order something on ebay through a store/shop? If so, which one? The Bay? Sears?
I live in Edmonton, Alberta. Basically I don’t have a credit card (14) so I can’t buy it on Ebay so is it possible to go to a store and ask them to ship it there and I pay by cash?
Doba Products – What Can You Buy and Sell
March 7th, 2010 by richermo
One of the most important topics to consider when you are looking for a wholesale source is what types of items they are going to be able to supply you, and what the salability of these goods is for your own business venture. This is where complete centralized wholesale sources such as Doba really come into play. They have a bigger range of items, many brand names included, that you can offer to your customers. Let’s take a closer look at some of the goods that are available and whether they will be good for your business.
A popular product line to stock and sell for many people who are in the e-commerce business, particularly eBay, is clothing. Doba offers a good range of clothing, shoes and accessories, many brand names – which you can source at wholesale prices. Clothing is a great sales demographic on eBay, but it’s important that when you are making your listings you ensure that you target the correct keywords that people are looking for. This is where brand names are especially helpful. Many online shoppers will start by searching for a brand that appeals to them, so that they can see what other products are for sale. Just be mindful of researching popular clothing brands to help determine where the most profit can be made.
Of course there are many other different items that you can consider selling. Small appliances and kitchen wares are good sellers online due to people seeking the lowest possible prices for items they require. This is one area where your wholesale source doesn’t necessary need to offer branded products, as many shoppers are simply looking for the best deal available to them.
In this current era of people are tightening on spending, there is a prime opportunity for you as a business person to find and obtain wholesale goods at low prices from a good wholesale source and sell them to your customers. Cost cutting has seen a boom in online shopping, which means that every day products such as linen, garden and household items all provide ideal opportunities for sales.
The most important thing to remember once you have chosen which wholesale source you are going to use is that you need to do market research to firstly check if there is a market for the merchandise, and secondly, track what your competition is doing. If you find that a competitor is selling an item considerably cheaper than you had intended, it may be better to simply choose something else to sell.
A good wholesale source will be able to offer you a wide range of goods, so you needent worry if the first item you research turns out to be an unwise choice. Remember that businesses like Doba operate with drop shipping, so it means that even if you test some products that don’t sell, you won’t be paying upfront, so you won’t be out of pocket for your endeavors. It’s this service that makes these business models such a great way to trade.
Doba Membership Can Make You Money
March 7th, 2010 by richermo
Doba is a centralized wholesale network which works much better than wholesale contact lists to allow you to efficiently operate your business. Unlike regular wholesale source and supply, these kinds of centralized wholesale supply networks offer the ability for you to obtain wholesale products from multiple different sources using just one simple interface. It’s a far faster and more efficient way of running a business, so it’s easy to see why so many people that are savvy on online retailing are weighing whether or not a centralized wholesale supply network is the greatest way for them to get involved in online business.
In addition to connecting you with multiple wholesale sources, Doba also lets you drop ship the products that you sell, making the amount of effort that you have to do once you have made the sale next to nothing. You will find that centralized wholesale supply networks allow you to go through thousands of product lines.
When you have start up, you will be charged on a monthly billing cycle, and the cost varies depending on the service that you pick. Many people are under the false presumption that centralized wholesale networks actually make purchases of products at bulk wholesale prices. This is not true. In fact, they make no purchase of the items that you are buying.
What these centralized wholesale suppliers do is connect you to the wholesale sources, although you don’t have to deal directly with them. You simply place your orders with the centralized wholesale source, and they do all the rest of the communication with the suppliers. It’s possible to order a lot of different products from different suppliers all on one order, so it makes the whole process much easier.
There are so plenty of products available that you will have to do a little research to find exactly what you want to sell and what will be the best goods to make a profit. Of course, stock levels available depend entirely on what is in the wholesale sources warehouse at the time of your order, but most will have ample resources and the site will be regularly updated so you can clearly see what is available.
Another useful feature is the fact that these sites provide you with a suggested retail price, so that you know how to appropriately price the items that you are listing. This is useful in drop shipping, as because you don’t physically handle the merchandise, sometime is can be difficult to determine its quality and therefore you may end up pricing yourself too low or too high.
Some people have found some trouble with Doba, being the first of its kind and there have been some bumps that have required smoothing out. This is where other centralized wholesale networks come into play. They learned the mistakes that Doba have made and in turn model their systems so that these issues don’t occur. It truly is a great system that can make you money, and can certainly make your online wholesale source and selling business a winner.
