As pioneers, Bubblefast has enjoyed it's involvement in the eCommerce community ever since. Interesting Notes Advice, Tips, and Tricks 1. Don't quit your job. Instead, start selling as a hobby and play with it. 2. Sell things that are inexpensive. 3. Follow the rules and you will succeed. 4. Start small and learn. Stick to one item a week or one item a month. 5. Be prepared to make mistakes and lose money. Learn from those mistakes and grow slowly. 6. Find an eBay Sellers' Facebook Group. You don't even have to ask any questions. Nobody has to know that you are there. Pay attention to the questions other people are asking and read the answers. By doing, you will find new sources for questions, goods, suggestions. You'll be surprised how quickly your business can grow just by joining networks online. 7. Find yourself a local Meetup group at Meetup.com This is a face to face networking. 8. Don't be bashful about asking questions. Eventually, you'll become an expert in your niche. A time will come when people will ask you questions and you can pay forward by helping them out. 9. If you have the UPC Code on your item, make sure that you put that UPC code in your listing. Having the UPC Code in your listing gives your listing much better chances of showing up in the buyers' search than if you did not use the UPC code at all. 10. Do a little research. The heavier and bigger the product, and the farther away you ship it is going to cost you more to ship. You also need to pick a different service. 11. Something lightweight and small is for a Priority Mail. Something heavy or large, you may want to go with the couriers like UPS. You have to learn the differences there. 12. Know how you are going to pack your products before you ship it. Once you can figure out how much it is going to weigh and what the dimensions are, then list it. Use the eBay shipping calculator to give you options on the least expensive and fastest way to ship your products. That way, your buyers can pick out whatever options they want to pay for and get the products faster. 13. As your business grows, learn how to be efficient. There are too many options and services. You will go blind trying to look for all. So in your networking, ask people what they use. 14. Be prepared to use the processes in your business. But things change and so does the offers. Some get better. Some don't handle what you can do anymore. Keep on tight on knowing what your own business is and you can make the changes quickly. 15. Listening to what your customers are asking for, or what kind of USPS rules is changing. Doing so will give you an idea when and how to modify your own products. 16. When you create jobs, create jobs for the position and not for the people. So that if people changes, the job description and the position do not. That makes the transition much easier. 17. If you have staff, don't ask people to do something that they are not capable of doing. Try to put them on the best spot. Try to cross-train your staff so that when somebody is not there, someone else can take over. 18. Better to train somebody else to do your job so that you can move up into a higher job and bigger responsibility.
