Auction business is the best because of the various factors,
1.Targeted customers are at your door steps
2.There are no start up fees or costs
3.There is no financial risk because for a large company like ebay,the maximum start up fee may be only 3.30$
4.Easy start up(Not more than 5 minutes)
5.Business is open for 24 hours
6.You can sell to the entire planet
7.As an auction seller,you can live anywhere in the world.
8.You make new friends and contacts.
There are so many but we can just stick with the above.
Excellent points, Stella. I've sold a few things online, but I'm not handy with a camera or with uploading pictures, and most people want to see what they're buying, so it hasn't been the best business for me. I do sell books and DVDs sometimes, because eBay provides sample pictures of most titles.
Someday I have GOT to set aside the time to actually learn how to use the features on my computer!
I have a couple of points to add on to but they are not as important as the ones you mentioned:
1.Your doing it from your home !
2.You have a greater market since most people who shop at a store are doing it online and the number is increasing meaning more sales
I would agree ebay offers a very easy way to attract large numbers of potential customers without needing to set up a website and spend time and money on a lot of advertising or marketing.
