If you haven’t already signed up to get your
free link to the Wholesale website, please do so now by Clicking Here. You
will never be charged for this service and we will only email you when discounts
become available.
After you search and find a hand full of products you would like to sell,
save the pictures to your computer. Make sure to make a new folder just for your
wholesale item photos. This will make it easier to find them later.
Once you have the products and photos, you can start listing them. When
you list items you are going to think about different factors that will effect
your starting price.
1st) When setting your price you will need to a starting price
that has all your fee’s included. So check your fee chart at Charitable-Auctions
and your paypal fee’s. Make sure to add this % to your starting
price.
We have found that when someone is buying a product where the money is
going to help out a charity, they will pay more for the item. So I would add a
little to the starting price. I like to add 10% to all my wholesale items. This
pays all my fees and if it only gets one bid, I still make money.
2nd) Do you want to have shipping included in your auction or
have the buyer pay for shipping at the end. Depending on how popular the item
is, I like to charge the shipping price at the end. On the wholesale website you
can see how much the shipping and handling will be for each item. The wholesale
company charges very fair shipping prices. So you should not have any complaints
about your prices.
If you are listing a very popular item that you know will sell for a
higher profit, then you can always include FREE shipping with your auction.
Buyers like FREE shipping because they think they are getting a deal. Make sure
you include your shipping price in your starting bid.
Now that you have your starting price figured out, all you need to do is
copy and paste the product description into your auction listing. Feel free to
add anything you feel will help you item sell to the description. Your product
description is usually towards the bottom of the page. The wholesale website
sometimes puts the return policy above the description.
Once your item sells and you receive the money from the buyer, go back to
the wholesale website and buy that item. Make sure you put in your buyers
shipping address in the right area.
That’s it. It should only take you about 5 minuets to list and buy an
item.
Good Luck!
