Free eBay Startup Kits - Are They Worth Ordering?

There are several eBay startup kits thet various companies offer. Most are free and some you must pay the shipping and handling cost. The question is are they worth ordering?

I have been selling on eBay since 1997 and it never ceases to amaze me how easy it is to sell on eBay. Most of the process is fairly straight forward. There are basically a few steps that you need to follow and before you know it you will be making money. The problem I have noticed is that most people are a little timid and need a little help getting started. The truth is it took me awhile before I started making good money on eBay. Over the years I have ordered many different eBay starter kits and read several eBay eBooks. I have spent hundreds of dollars to learn some of the “secrets” to making a better living selling on eBay. If we want to be good at something we normally can take to routes. We can both learn on our own and suffer making mistakes or we can learn from others who have become successful. I like to learn from others and that is why I would recommend that eBay beginners learn as much as they can from the free startup kits and eBooks on the market.

Most of the eBay eBooks are not worth much. They basically rehash what eBay has on their website. eBay has many tutorials of how to get started selling on eBay, so why would I need another book telling me the same thing? The valuable eBooks and startup kits are those that give specific strategies as to how to increase sales, or provide you with information on auction software that makes selling easier. The difficult part about selling on eBay is finding products that people want to buy. After you find good wholesale suppliers and drop ship companies then the problem is marketing. You need to learn how to draw more traffic to your auction listings. Another problem that you will encounter is how to list more products faster and more efficiently. eBay can’t solve these problems for you. That is why I recommend learning from other Power Sellers and eBay experts. Don’t waste your time learning the best and most efficient ways to make a living on eBay, order the free startup kits and let the experts share their knowledge.
