What are your views on the secondary market place? (i.e. ebay, yahoo auctions, amazon etc.) How do you feel about the phenomenon that is taking place with all of these drop shops popping up? Is the Secondary market damaging the primary market? Is the secondary market defacing brand value? How do you feel about using the secondary market place to sell primary market goods?

I love it in every way! People who thought they could never afford things now can. People who want to run their own business or work from home but couldn't, now can.

I can only comment on our network marketing company that we are distributors for. as we have been going for 27 years , with no debt, every country we open a head office in we buy it cash... We are currently in 114 countries. \nwe dont owe anyone money and our turnover in uk was 34 million and rising.we are ranked the 2nd successful mlm. I cant see any way possible that this would suddenly fold and the distributors lose out. The assets our company own include south fork in Dallas plus a number of other resorts worldwide. \nI feel safe with my company but you never stated which one you are joining and how long they have been going. I would be wary of joining any networking company that did not have a proven track record. before you sign do your homework, get as much info on the co as poss.\nI loved the whole concept of our company and they way that it works, I have since looked at a few other mlm and found their way does not benefit the distributor as much, but that does not mean to say there arent other good ones out there. If you would like to know more dont hesitate in contacting me but include a email for me to contact you back. I think speaking to someone else can help as you get a different view on things and good ideas!!

I have been selling home decor items online for about 6 months, with a friend's help (she does most of the work, I do the books & finances).  We have experienced several frustrating situations: many damage claims with UPS and FedEx, even though we have researched best way to pack our product; ebay has been making many changes to their site, which always affects the listed items in some way; and also the fees incurred to list items and to have a store is really ridiculously high. There is a fee for everything!\nOverall, we have enjoyed it-the shopping for inventory is the best! After 6 months, we are finally beginning to show a profit. We hope to expand to other auction sites soon.  Next will come a "brick & mortar store." My friend  just dreams of having a "real" store!

I noticed that you posted this question a couple of minutes ago under another sub-heading--good job, most people would not have thought of that.  May I ask if you are living in the US or in the country you wish to post in?  It makes a big difference because many sites like postaroo and others are country/area specific.  Please make an additional comment to this and the other sub-heading letting us know where you would like your "selling site" to originate.

i too have been done by the almighty ebay, unfortunately for them i have been in touch with national newspaper and friend who's a trading standards officer, ebay in uk is in for a very nasty shock within the next month or so, i prewarn all people who make a fulltime living on ebay, start searching for new premises as ebay is about to be served by trading standards governing body and will be made to halt all activities until it gets a better vetting system for illegal sales, from porn,bootleg gear and illegal substances.

http://www.worldwidebrands.com get positive reviews from the online merchants forum I visit. They have a list (for a fee) of suppliers who will ship for you (dropship).\n\nDo you have website / electronic storefront already.  If not, visit http://www.multi-tradeonline.com  -- reseller of StoresOnline [SOL] storebuilder licenses for as low as 10% of what it would have cost you (price of 1 site compared to price for 'pack of 3 sites + other stuff bundled together' -- the minimum you can buy direct from SOL).

There are other online auctions.  Just search google or yahoo search for auctions.  I sell on Ebay, and  your are right, it is getting pretty expensive.  So far, none of the other auction sites that I have looked into seem to be getting much business.

I think EBay shops have caught my eye i saw one where they sell little wooden doors for trees that look like hobbit entrances or fairy and elves doors, my plan is to buy some and maybe put one on a wall and some on our oaks.\nI have a feeling this will be a big hit for the little people! So maybe you need to be part of something like EBay to open up your market to a larger market which i believe is the planet! My wife buys jewelry on speculation on EBay\nand has been successful.JuJu

I have my own eBay business.    The first thing I would do is buy some inexpensive things on eBay, just to get some positive feedback.  The first thing I bought was a VHS tape for $.99.  The trick to being successful is to pick a category that doesn't have that many sellers, and is something that people want.  If you pick a category that comes up with 500,000 items up for auction, people just aren't going to browse through that category to see what everyone has.  Even when you refine your search on a category that big it usually comes up with 30,000...still too many for browsing.  I always ship USPS Priority Mail because there is a flat rate box (12x14x3) that is one price, no matter how much it weighs....so if you can fit it in that box it's only one price. The Post Office will also come and pick your shipment up for free with Priority Mail, so there's no going to the Post Office and customers get their product in 2-3 days.  (I've found that people don't want to wait for their stuff longer than 3 days.)  I don't want to tell you what I'm selling because I don't want the category to get overloaded with sellers.  But I do well, I am able to support myself, no problem.  I actually started out with only $500.  When you put your product up for auction you have a choice of a 7 day or a 10 day auction.  I always do the 10 day auction starting it on a Friday.  That way you have 2 weekends for people to look at your stuff.  Some sellers don't accept PayPal as a method of payment because you have to give a percentage of your profit of a sale to them if it is used by your buyer.  I personally won't buy from people that don't take PayPal because you have protection against a seller that is trying to rip you off.  I have only had good experiences with my customers and  with PayPal, and I have a 100% positive feedback rate.  If you have any more questions you can email me at:\n\nebayenigma@luv2kre8it.com

True, this isn't a place for advertising, but people do it all the time. Nor is it a place to look for employees, but if it's a legit offer then this post is better than many of the others I have seen get by.\n\nI am interested. But I am in the wrong state and not licensed. Good luck finding someone to become a positive addition to your community!

I've recently tried a reverse auction from a site that I found on google adwords. I posted my wanted ad for a playstation. I requested a lower price and I had a good deal. There was only one bid but the transaction was successful and I received the item. I'll give it another shot !

I'm not sure what you want here.\nAre you asking individuals to tell you about their shopping styles and buying preferences? Or are you asking people to give you ideas on where you can formally research these topics?

If a hardware store started selling furinature would it still be a hardware store? I do think it would be more interesting to see more displays in store but I think it should go with what they are selling.
