Hello everyone, today I speak of my "secrets" of the seller (not professional) and buyer on ebay. You can republish your blog or website, provided that they sue the origin.
Dollar, Euro and Pound: how to exploit in their favor.
The euro-dollar exchange and to a lesser extent, the Euro-sterling exchange rate, affect the lives of every day: consumers and businesses are affected directly increase or decrease in value of the currency of the country, albeit in a different way, the consumer " expert "not only knows the market stalls near her home or supermarket full of" specials ", is aware of other markets in addition to the National Assembly, now easily accessible thanks to the Internet, from which it can buy what wants to lower prices because of the differences between that market and, in our case, the Italian market: what is the best market for their purchases? The United States, the euro-dollar is now clearly for us (but unfavorable to U.S. companies that export and those who live off tourism), domestic sales collapse (as in many other states) and so many people or businesses, seeing opportunity in crisis, they sell products of all kinds in Europe, aware that they can sell at lower prices than the competition. Unfortunately, the U.S. international sales do not appear in large amounts in research done on www.ebay.it, you have to look in www.ebay.com clicking on advanced search (advanced search), put under "Location" on the check "Only show items: "and selecting" Available to "and, in the list," Italy ". In so doing you will find in your research only on ebay.com Articles posted to Italy, not those reserved to the United States, Canada or others. The United Kingdom, thanks to the strong pound on average, is quite good for when buying and selling. As for the other countries in the Euro Zone, well, check yourself, you will understand what is the best country for high technology, the best country to buy sports equipment or gift ideas and more.
The cost: a big problem?
Often yes, regular mail, given its low price, usually comes after 2-3 weeks when shipped from the USA or the East (I noticed that the arrival is influenced by population density in the region where live: I live in Sardinia and deliveries usually arrive on time or with minor delays, eBay members who live in the peninsula sometimes do not receive the parcel, and then flood the forum reports, complaints), one or two if sent from EU countries. I think it is better to rely on the couriers when ordering high-value products (though paid at a lower price eheheheh) such as laptops, software, hardware, or other type of items ordered abroad: there is a proof of postage and you can check status of the shipment through the tracking number supplied by the seller on the internet, thanks to the website of the courier. Always ask the insurance included, will be money well spent. The flaw? The cost of delivery, which in the case of USA, can reach 60-70 € (including insurance).
And the language?
Knowing English is almost essential when you buy from international sellers, if you do not know it: A-
learn by attending a class or similar.
B-Thinking "If I'd studied better in school ...".
C-Use automatic translators, which can create misunderstandings sometimes ridiculous, sometimes harmful.
D-reliable friend or someone you know who can at least say "Excuse me, where is the toilet?".
communicating with the vendor you do business better or "tailor" the purchase asking different shipping methods, making a bid or ask more information about what you are buying.
seize the moment and plan for the sale.
If you buy, whether you are buying for themselves or for resale, must seize the right moment, the moment in which the value of a particular type of object drops to values \u200b\u200bsuch as due to declining sales, fashion past The arrival of a superior technology and / or the rise of the same against the object of our poor. Well, rejoice! That product is losing value, is within the reach of our wallets, we can and must buy it (I recommend Paypal, are protected not only on the object but also on shipping costs). I bought in mid-December 2008, two pairs of DDR RAM to 1GB memory 3200 to 22 € ($ 33 \u200b\u200bat the time, I think), the United States, with free shipping: I needed a pair to upgrade my PC (the old pc which I sold in pieces), but, given the great price I took two. The Christmas Market provides high technology products, potential gifts under the tree very expensive. Of course, some may buy the best of the best PCs in three zeros, some not. I was and are among the others, I'm pleased with the hardware of average quality, sufficient for playing games and surfing the Web. It was not even a month of receiving the ram (I got them in mid-January) and I could sell a couple to € 38.50 (€ 38.50 to € -3 miscellaneous fees paypal and ebay, -3.50 for standard shipping - spent about € 11 to buy RAM in December are 21 € for profit, I pretty much covered the initial investment selling half of what I bought), due to increased demand from those who "carry on" their computers bought in 2002 or 2005, I sold another couple in April to 46 € for the toughening of "DDR-hunt", and also because I bought at auction DDR2 high-quality, € 30 to be replaced as soon as the old pc with a new pc assembled by myself. The seller from whom I bought the U.S. in December now sells DDR DDR concerned more than € 50 per couple, plus shipping, but soon the demand will decline again, due to the decrease in the price of DDR2, DDR will fall into oblivion and become a full antique computer, sold at low prices. You have to understand what the "season" best buy, and if you want to sell, which one is best for resale, to avoid losing what you have purchased. Aprofittare favorable exchange rate is not sufficient when it sells, you know how to empathize nell'acquirente is when you write the text of your ad, and when you type the fateful issues of money: many sellers, not just online, take advantage of the psychology of selling items costing € 49.99 € instead of 50 in order to exploit the illusion of greater savings over competitors by buying items with nine items with no zeros. I conclude by wishing you good luck
purchases and sales are at your disposione for any application. If you liked my advice you can donate a few euro by Paypal.
