Remember my last post on my experiment on eBay? If you cannot remember you can click here to read it. Well after my affiliate earnings were “cheated” there was so much to be done but i had little time to do it. At the same time my listings on eBay were taken down by the eBay administrators and after relisting them again, they were again taken down. My eBay account is in a mess so to speak lolz. Anyway what i wanna say is that the sales has been greatly reduced but i still get my leads.

After checking my account last night i find it amusing that people on eBay are so hungry for feedbacks. I mean yes feedbacks are important for both buyers and sellers as it actually represent your credibility. But some people are just too impatient. They keep sending me messages asking for their feedbacks and that is annoying. Also at the same time there are many people with different questions. I shall list them out here.

1. People with new account
These people are eager to get as many feedbacks as they can by purchasing items from others. They will bug you for the precious one feedback as it’s so important to them. A few days without reply makes them worried and they keep sending you different messages with different tone.

2. People who don’t understand instructions
These people either don’t read your instructions or they don’t understand it at all. For example my item ships by digital delivery and once they pay they will get a download link. I had people sending me messages and emails asking how to get the product? Come on! Everything’s stated clearly on my page! Then they ask whether you can ship the item to their house address?!!? Oh My Goodness!

3. People who don’t pay 
Sometimes you see people who buy from you and left you a positive feedback. But when you check the store account, there are no payment from them. Some people will list the item as paid. So what do you do? It’s ok, just leave a feedback for them as well and since they don’t pay, they don’t get the item. They just want feedbacks. I must clarify that this only probably works for $0.01- $0.99 products. If you are selling physical items with a dollar price tag you better make sure they pay you first before delivering the item to them.  

4. People who bought your items and sell them from their own store
Lastly these are the ones who irks me as i see them being kinda sneaky. Ok so it happened to me as i checked last night. I searched the whole eBay for similar items and apparently my item WAS the only item in the whole eBay and no one is selling the same thing. Then out of the search results i was surprised to see one seller having the same items in his store. And the way he packaged it is also close to mine. Just that he is selling them whole (package of 6) instead of individually. I have nothing against selling similar items but this only shows that the idea has been copied. That seller sure is smart! Im just wondering if his items have my affiliate links inside. Cos maybe he dunno how to convert pdf back to words file? If so that is good for me, free promotion for me! I might go and buy from him and take a look at the items hee hee.

So there you go. Lolz if you explore eBay further there are many more discoveries! Well so i have more work to be done this weekend and more tweaking too. So much to do so little time……
