Selling e-books - What You Need to Sell e-books on eBay

Starting an e-book is a very enticing offer to many entrepreneurs looking for passive and residual income. If done well, e-books can certainly provide both. The problem is, there are many other e-book sellers out there. Most of them are all selling the same thing. So, how do you make yourself stand out among this heard of electronic information sheep?

Let's find out.

Selling e-books - What You Need

eBay Account: While it is very possible to sell e-books on eBay by just having a seller account, it is not as profitable as having an eBay store. E-books don't hold a high value on eBay unless they are extremely unique. So, trying to post large quantities of low priced e-books can get expensive. The listing fees and end of auction fees would eat most of your profit. If you open an eBay store however, you will be able to list multiple auctions, as well as set an endless number of available copies.

This means you could post an eBay store e-book such as, "How to Start an eBay e-book Store", and say that you have 100 copies of it. If you tried to do this as an auction you would have to wait for a high feedback score, plus, it would cost a fortune. With an eBay store, it would cost less than ten cents!

Paypal Account: Odds are you already have one these if you spend anytime on eBay. Now that you will be using them to sell e-books on eBay, make sure to look into some of their seller features. Take advantage of the free pay-pal emblems and certified seller seals. This will help you look more trustworthy as a seller. There are also ways to create a more automated e-book store with eBay by using their automatic emailer, but that's another article entirely.

Domain Name: Why do you need a domain name to sell e-books on eBay? Well, because you are going to need web hosting and you can't get web hosting without a domain name.
