Sell coupons on eBay

eBay is often referred to as the biggest online garage sale. Some people think that you can sell anything on eBay - even things that you would otherwise throw away. Well, in this case, that is true!

People have been selling their junk mail on the eBay!

You know those % off offers you get from big companies like Lowe's or Bed Bath & Beyond, discount coupons -- typically good for 10 to 20 percent off a single purchase -- currently sell for about $3 to $4 on eBay. Bigger coupon discounts can get you $20 or more.

You may think that there is something "wrong" with making money this way, but as long as you point out, as most coupon hawkers note in their listings, that "most coupons are available for free somewhere, it just takes time and effort to obtain them. That is what people are bidding on -- my time and effort to clip and sort, not the actual coupons themselves."

Selling coupons from your junk mail or Sunday Paper could bring $50-$100 a month. Not bad for something you would throw away.

Get more traffic to your auctions...

Here is some great news for all you eBay sellers. Just over one third of all Internet users in the U.S. visit eBay each month! No other eCommerce site can say that. The report showed 60 million monthly visitors to eBay. That's a lot of buyers.

So why aren't you getting multiple bids and selling all your stuff?????

Have you ever wondered why some auctions get hundreds of views while yours only gets 14?

If you have not thought about a blog to help you promote your eBay auctions or eBay store...you should really think about it. You have GOT to get your eBay store link out there....outside of eBay!

The best way to increase link popularity is through Blogs. Blogs naturally are filled with valuable content that the search engines crave and they also naturally link to other websites they talk about within their posts.

Get people talking about you and your eBay store. Comment on other peoples blogs that are similar to what you sell. Take these few baby steps and watch your page views soar!

Check that Costume Jewelry Bin

Most thrift stores will have a jewelry case or in some stores a plastic basket with junk jewelry in it. Make sure you stop and dig a little. There may just be a $6,000 watch in there!

This watch sold on eBay last week for $6250.00

It is from the 70's ~ the reason it sold for so much is the brand....Patek Philippe.

It is not as common as "Rolex" and may end up in that jewelry basket at your local thrift store! So make sure you check!

Here is a great site to help you learn more about Patek Philippe watches: http://www.watches.co.uk/patek_philippe.html
