Unusual eBay Feedback

Monday 5 May 2008 @ 10:10 pm

POSITIVE: Item shipped quickly, have been having erotic dreams about seller. Thanks!

POSITIVE: Thanks for great Rainbow Brite lunchbox. Should shrunken head be inside?

NEUTRAL: Excellent communication, but should’ve poked holes in box before shipping the kitten. Refunded.

NEGATIVE: Despite indication in listing, I could not fit item into any of my body cavities.

NEGATIVE: Honda R-Type sticker did not add horsepower as advertised.

NEUTRAL: Item shipped promptly and in good condition, but I should not have to bid on birthday presents from my parents.

POSITIVE: I don’t really remember what I ordered. But I’ve been sitting in the box it came in all day, and it’s great!

NEGATIVE: Product didn’t work, possibly broken. I woke up this morning and was disappointed to find I still believe in Jesus Christ our Savior. :(

POSITIVE: Excellent Buyer. A++++++. Thrilled by the quartz movement of the “Rolex”. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

NEGATIVE: Should have been clearer that seller only accepts payment in Bhats via Eastern Union Moneygram.

POSITIVE: Plain brown packaging seemed to fool my wife. Thanks!

NEGATIVE: The dog won’t hunt.

NEGATIVE: Very nice monkey mascot costume, but it’s a size 34, not a 63 as advertised.

NEGATIVE: Lederhosen not as pink as the picture led me to believe.

POSITIVE: A+++++. Items are exactly as described. Best case of kalashnikovs I’ve ever bought. Allah Akbar!

NEGATIVE: This is clearly the ninth, NOT THE SIXTH, repackaging of Mad Super Special #24.

POSITIVE: One of the scents mixed in with the packing peanuts remind me of a passionate weekend in Rio… was that you?

POSITIVE: The way you wrote my zip-code makes me weak in the knees. Such smooth strokes. A+!

NEGATIVE: Though you did nothing wrong, I am giving you this negative feedback to teach you that the universe is arbitrary and unfair.

NEGATIVE: Buying this Space 1999 Lunchbox did not fill the void in my empty life for as long as I’d hoped.

How To Avoid Buying Fake Designer Eyewear Online

Sunday 4 May 2008 @ 10:33 am

Designer eyewear is an ecommerce favorite. People buy eyewear on auction sites such as eBay elsewhere as much as they buy any other fashion accessories. Unfortunately this particular market has been plagued by fraudulent marketers of ersatz designer eyewear. Here are some tips for avoiding a dud purchase of false-label eyewear.

1. Look carefully at the photos.
Never buy an item without seeing a very detailed picture first. If the eyewear is fake you will soon see pick it up from the photo. Top designer eyewear has great detail, great finishes.

2. Take your cue from the manufacturer.
Always start your eyewear search at the website of the manufacturer of your favorite brand of eyewear. Look carefully at the photos there. Compare these with the photos on other eyewear and auction websites such as eBay. Beware of identical photos copied directly from the manufacturer’s website. Compare the specifications of the product to the manufacturer’s specifications. Obviously they should match.

3. Price.
Real, genuine designer eyewear is expensive. If the price is extremely low then the eyewear is probably a fake.

4. Is there a warranty?
The manufacture generally offers a warranty via its distributors, so the presence of an after sales service offer in the item description is a good indicator for a genuine product.

5. Check the extras.
Genuine designer eyewear usually comes with the manufacturer’s designer case and a branded cloth. Make sure the offer you are considering includes these.

eBay : Good Communication Means Big $$$ - FREE Email Templates

Sunday 4 May 2008 @ 10:20 am

If you have been selling on eBay for awhile you will find out soon enough that your buyers want to know when and if their purchase was shipped. if you are using Pay Pal for your shipments they will receive a notification from Pay Pal with that information, but is this enough? I think not and over the course of my 7 years on eBay and many thousands of transactions I have come up with some great email templates I use to notify my customers the merchandise is on its way.

First take a look at your email program you use. Outlook Express has a nice feature that enables you to save “Signature Files” Well a signature file can be as long as you want it to be, in fact it can include a full email message. In the beginning when I used Outlook Express I used this method to make up many template emails. I have a ton of them from every subject including, thanks for your order, thanks for your feedback and the subject of this Guide, “Your Order Will Be Shipped Today” templates.

I now use Thunderbird for my email client and Thunderbird handles Templates a different way. They have a directory in your account set up called “Templates” This is where I now keep my Templates for all my eBay business. You can save sub-folders in this Template folder so you can have some called: Ship Notification, Problems, etc.

I go in and write all my templates that I need and then simply go to the File menu and save it as a template and low and behold it appears in my Templates folder. When I need to use it I scroll the list in that directory, find the one I need and simply double click on it to open it up as a new email message. I then only have to paste the buyers email address into the address line and maybe change a few items in that template like the name of the item they bought or the day it will be shipped. My default day is “Today”.

So what does the shipment confirmation template look like? Here is one I use for shipping an item via First Class Mail:

================================================================
================================================================

Subject: Your purchase will ship today via First Class Mail

================================================================

Message:

Hi;

I have received payment for your _______________ and it will ship today via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation.

On receipt it will be important for you to email me to let me know it has arrived safely and that everything is in order so we can leave feedback for each other. As a way of making sure my customers are satisfied, I prefer to leave feedback on notification of safe arrival of the product.

If you have any questions about my feedback policy, guarantee or any other business matters please visit my Terms & Conditions Center located at:

http://mtigrp.com/ebay/terms

I think you will find it can answer most of your questions.

I know there are many choices today in buying just about anything and appreciate your business and prompt attention to payment on this transaction.

Sincerely,

Len Rapoport

A Proud eBay Silver Power Seller Since 1998

================================================================ Now I have one of these templates made up for all shipping options, UPS, Priority Mail, Air Mail to Canada, Air Letter Post, etc.

I also have templates prepared for specific items I sell. I do a big business in Custom Grow and Aquarium Lights and they have a lot of information about the lights, breakage issues, optional insurance, links to my site for more information etc. I have prepared these extensive templates in HTML using bold and colored type, etc.

Once I have these made up, I again save them as templates. If you receive positive feedback or comments from a buyer you can use this template to thank them or remind them to leave the feedback. I have found many customers will email me that the parcel has arrived and they are happy with it, but some have not left the feedback yet, so this is a good email to send them.

================================================================
================================================================

Subject: Thank You For Your Feedback

================================================================

Message:

Hi;

Thanks for the email confirmation of safe arrival, your business and of course the positive feedback, it was my pleasure serving you.

I will be sure that my system has left positive feedback for you as well.

================================================================

Note: If you have not left feedback yet, it is important you do so now so we can complete our transaction. Please go to your Feedback Forum located at:

eBay : FREE Email Templates To Help Increase + Feedback & $$$

Sunday 4 May 2008 @ 10:19 am

I have found a few methods to increase your business and positive feedback from your buyers who may forget, not know how or just are plain lazy and don’t want to bother to do it.

As a seller, I always work hard to run an honest, well thought out auction. Plenty of photos, lots of description, clear terms to prevent anything going wrong on a transaction, takes a lot of effort and time. I ship the same day payment is received or the next day on any late payments and am meticulous with the way the orders are packed, shipped and notifications sent to the buyer with the shipping information.

Now assume you did it all right as I try to do, would you leave feedback when you get paid for the item? The answer is a big NO. Why you may ask, well eBay suggests that feedback should be left for each party when the item is received and both parties are satisfied with the transaction.

I have extensive instructions on my Terms & Conditions web site explaining why and how to leave feedback and I also send information to the buyer at the time I ship the item. Here is a sample of that email….please use it as a guide and create your own. Remember what you see below is my creative words and is © Len Rapoport. (you can read another guide I wrote about stealing © images and written works)

================================================================

Hi;

I have received payment for your _______________ and it will ship today via First Class Mail with Delivery Confirmation.

On receipt it will be important for you to email me to let me know it has arrived safely and that everything is in order so I can leave feedback for you and you can then leave feedback for me. As a way of making sure my customers are satisfied, I prefer to leave feedback on notification of safe arrival of the product.

If you have any questions about my feedback policy, guarantee or any other business matters please visit my Terms & Conditions Center located at:

My Terms & Conditions Link Goes Here

I think you will find it can answer most of your questions.

I know there are many choices today in buying just about anything and appreciate your business and prompt attention to payment on this transaction.

Sincerely,

Len Rapoport

A Proud eBay Silver Power Seller Since 1998

==============================================================

Most buyers are pretty good and will send me a little email that the item has arrived and it gives me an opportunity to send them another Thank You email for their getting back to me and for the feedback. They usually notify me and leave feedback at the same time.

In the rare instance there is an issue or a problem, I now have clear communications with them and quickly resolve the problem to their complete satisfaction. I offer a money back guarantee on all new merchandise and even some used items, so this is all part of good customer service that I offer.

Now in the rare case that the buyer does not contact me on receipt or leave feedback, I wait a couple of weeks and go through my entire open feedback report and send out another email to each buyer on that report. Again, create your own email in your words, but this is what I send them:

==============================================================

Hi;

I was just checking my Feedback Forum and noticed that you never left feedback on our transaction for:

(Copy or drag the link and name of the item so they can click here to go there.)

Since feedback is so important on eBay and helps us all identify the good guys from the not so good guys, I would urge you to leave feedback on our transaction. By doing so my system will automatically leave positive feedback for you as well.

I understand that some ebayers are not familiar with the system and might find this a bit of a learning experience, but I can assure you it is easy to do and you will begin to add positive feedback to your profile. If for some reason you felt I let you down and therefore decided not to leave feedback, it is important I know that as well. It is your feedback that helps me improve my service to all my customers.

================================================================
How To Leave Feedback

Please go to your Feedback Forum located at:

http://pages.ebay.com/services/forum/feedback.html

You will see how simple it is to leave feedback once you get there. There are also a few links to explain the importance of feedback and how to do it.

================================================================

I am always searching for new and exciting products to offer my eBay customers so please check my store from time to time to see the new items.

Lens-Friendly-Auctions (link to my eBay store here)

You can also choose to bookmark our store and eBay will send you a notice each time I offer a new item. It is a great way to stay in touch.

Hope to see you again at another auction or sale, I appreciate your patronage, quick payment and of course your positive comments should you choose to leave some.

Sincerely,

Len Rapoport

A Proud eBay Silver Power Seller Since 1998

============================================================

Now if this doesn’t work and they still do not contact me or leave feedback, well I assume they got the item in good order and just don’t feel compelled to go and leave feedback. In those cases, I just let is go and won’t contact them further.

Since there are many people out there and some are not all wonderful human beings, I won’t leave feedback for the buyer unless they contact me or leave feedback for me. Why you might ask… because my profile and feedback is something I work hard to earn and I bend way over backwards to please a customer. For this reason I won’t leave the feedback in the event they want to take a shot at me because they didn’t like my face or they had a bad day and want to take it out on me.

Having the last word gives a seller a little bit of insurance in preventing un-deserved neutral or negative feedback. On so many auctions the seller works on pennies and the feedback is the bonus or tip, you might say, when we do a good job. Waiters work for less then minimum wages and work on tips, so do so many eBayers and our tips may not be the money we make, but the gratification getting feedback like this (taken from the most recent feedback, I get around 100 per month):

Great communications! Fast Payment! Wonderful to do business with! AAA+++++++

Great Product, fast shipping, excellent communication/descriptions

I am totally satisfied by the item, the shipping, everything! Great Seller!!

light exactly as listed, easy to install, very happy plants! thanks so much! A+++

excellent customer service.. i would buy from this person again A+

GREAT LIGHT! WAY BETTER THAN EXPECTED! EXCELLENT SHIPPING!

You will note that the one thing you see in all these is fast shipping, good communications, Exactly what was listed, good products.

So work hard and you will find that your customers will be happy and will leave you a nice “Ebay Tip” that you may not be able to take to the bank, but it will help you get through those very long days on the computer and the many trips to the post office.

การลดต้นทุนและหากำไรเพิ่มบนอีเบย์ : How to make profit on eBay

Thursday 31 January 2008 @ 9:46 am

welcome to ebay promotionหลายคนตอนนี้ก็คงได้ลองขายของบนอีเบย์กันแล้วนะครับ อย่างที่ทราบกันดีว่า บนอีเบย์หากเราลงประกาศขายสินค้าต้องมีค่าธรรมเนียมจ่ายให้เขาด้วย ไม่จ่ายไม่ได้ครับ เดี๋ยวโดนยกเลิกบัญชีไปง่ายๆ

ต้องยอมรับอย่างหนึ่งว่า บนอีเบย์เป็นเหมือนห้างใหญ่ที่ใครๆทั่วโลก ก็แวะมาช้อปปิ้งกัน ครั้นเราจะเปิดเว็บเพื่อขายเอง ก็ต้องปวดหัวกับเรื่องโปรโมทให้คนเข้าอีก ยิ่งเรื่องการชำระเงินและความน่าเชื่อถือด้วยแล้ว บนเว็บอีเบย์ลูกค้าจะให้ความเชื่อมั่นในการจับจ่ายมากกว่า เอาเป็นถ้าอยากขายก็ต้องยอมเรื่องค่าธรรมเนียมให้เค้าละครับ ปัจจัยเรื่องค่าธรรมเนียมพวกนี้ควบคุมไม่ได้ก็จริง แต่เราจะมาหาวิธี “ลดต้นทุนและหากำไรเพิ่ม” ซึ่งเป็นสิ่งที่เราทำเองได้ง่ายๆอยู่แล้ว

แนวทางการลดต้นทุนและหากำไรเพิ่ม เราสามารถทำได้หลายทางครับ ผมแนะนำเป็นข้อๆดังนี้ครับ

  1. ลดต้นทุนค่าโพสต์ บ่อยครั้งที่อีเบย์ชอบออกโปรโมชั่น เกี่ยวกับการโพสต์ขายฟรีบ้าง หรือโพสต์โดยมีส่วนลดให้ ถ้าเจอโปรโมชั่นแบบนี้ ก็ลง listing คราวละเยอะๆก็ได้ครับ ประหยัดกว่ามาก แต่ต้องอ่านเงื่อนไขให้ดี บางทีทำได้เฉพาะแค่บางเว็บเท่านั้น โปรโมชั่นเหล่านี้ต้องหมั่นสังเกตอ่านในเมล์หรือ My Message ให้ดีครับ จะมีเป็นระยะๆการโพสต์ขายสินค้าบางรายการ ควรเลือกออปชั่นที่จำเป็นแค่บางรายการก็พอ ยิ่งคุณเลือกออปชั่นมาก ค่าธรรมเนียมก็จะสูงตามไปด้วย การเลือกออปชั่น ควรให้เหมาะกับสินค้าที่ขาย ถ้าของที่ลงมีราคาแพง ออปชั่นที่จ่ายให้อีเบย์แพง เช่น ตัวหนา มีกรอบ ก็ย่อมจะคุ้มกว่า แต่ถ้าของราคาถูกๆ ตัดเอาออปชั่นพวกนี้ออก จะได้กำไรเยอะกว่าครับ

  2. ลดต้นทุนค่าส่ง ถ้าเลือกส่งของกับไปรษณีย์ไทย วิธีง่ายและถูกก็ บริการพัสดุย่อย แต่จะเลือกแบบไหน ขึ้นอยู่กับสินค้าที่จะจัดส่ง ถ้าของน้ำหนักไม่มาก การส่งแบบพัสดุย่อย เปรียบเทียบแบบอื่นๆแล้วอาจจะต่างกันไม่มาก แต่ถ้าน้ำหนักของมากๆใกล้เคียง 2 กิโลกรัม ราคาจะทิ้งห่างกันเยอะ เลือกแบบพัสดุย่อยก็จะประหยัดกว่า บ่อยครั้งที่กำไรจากการขายบนอีเบย์ได้จากค่าขนส่งก็เยอะ เราลดต้นทุนได้มาก ก็กำไรเพิ่มมากขึ้น

  3. ลดต้นทุนค่าหีบห่อ พัสดุภัณฑ์หรือหีบห่อที่ใช้บรรจุเราสามารถหาซื้อมาใช้เองก็ได้ ไม่จำเป็นต้องใช้แบบสำเร็จรูปของที่ไปรษณีย์ซึ่งราคาจะต่างกันมาก ซองแบบกันกระแทกอาจจะหาซื้อซองสีน้ำตาลถูกๆตกซองละบาทสองบาท แล้วนำมาใส่แผ่นกันกระแทกเอาเอง ตัวกล่องถ้าส่งครั้งละเยอะๆอาจจะจ้างทำแบบเฉพาะ หรือซื้อตามร้านไปรษณีย์เอกชน เช่น PostNet เอาก็ได้ เพราะจะมีน้ำหนักเบากว่า (กล่องบางกว่าและไม่มีฝาปิด ถ้าส่งแบบพัสดุย่อยยิ่งถูกเข้าไปใหญ่)

  4. ลดต้นทุนค่ารับเงินจากเพย์พาล ค่าใช้จ่ายในการรับเงินจาก PayPal เป็น อีกปัจจัยหนึ่งที่ควบคุมไม่ได้ ปกติถ้าเปิดบัญชีแบบ Premier หรือ Business Account ยอดการรับเงินจะถูกหักค่าใช้จ่ายด้วย (ประมาณ 3.9%+$0.30 ต่อรายการ) ถ้าลูกค้าเลือกจ่ายเงินด้วยวิธีตัดจากยอดคงเหลือในเพย์พาล (PayPal Balance) คุณอาจแนะนำให้เขาชำระเงินเข้าบัญชีเพย์พาลแบบ Personal Account อีกบัญชีหนึ่งของคุณก็ได้ เพื่อเลี่ยงค่าธรรมเนียม เนื่องจากเพย์พาลอนุญาตให้สมาชิกรายใดรายหนึ่งมีเพย์พาลได้ 2 บัญชี (Personal 1 บัญชี กับ Premier/Business อีก 1 บัญชี)

  5. หากำไรเพิ่มจากค่าส่ง บนอีเบย์ลูกค้าโดยทั่วไป จะเข้าใจเรื่องการจัดเก็บค่าขนส่งที่ลูกค้าจะต้องออกเอง อีเบย์จึงยอมให้คนขายเก็บทั้งค่า S&H (Shipping and Handling ) คือทั้งค่าส่งจริงและค่าการจัดการหีบห่อเข้าไปด้วย ดังนั้นเวลาคิดค่าส่ง พยายามบวกค่าใช้จ่ายต่างๆ เช่น ค่าน้ำมัน ค่าไฟ ค่ากาว ค่าเทป รวมไปให้หมดครับ ไม่บวกรายการพวกนี้เขาไป เดี๋ยวจะขาดทุนเอา การบวกค่าใช้จ่ายเหล่านี้เราอาจจะเพิ่ม % การเก็บไปอีกสักเล็กน้อย ถ้าไม่ได้แพงมากมายและถัวเฉลี่ยอยู่ในราคาที่เขาพึงจ่ายได้ ก็ไม่มีปัญหาครับ บ่อยครั้งที่ผู้ขายหลายคนก็เอากำไรจากค่าส่งส่วนนี้เยอะ (แต่อย่ามากเกินงามครับ เดี๋ยวลูกค้าจะเคืองเอาได้)วิธีเอากำไรจากค่าส่งที่นิยมอีกทางคือ บริการ Combine Shipping แทนที่จะให้เขาซื้อชิ้นเดียว บอกให้ซื้อหลายๆชิ้นแล้วลดค่าส่งให้ กำไรจากค่าส่งส่วนนี้ ก็ได้มากตามไปด้วย ยิ่งน้ำหนักสินค้าไม่ได้มากมายด้วยแล้ว คุ้มกับกำไรที่ได้มาก

  6. หากำไรเพิ่มจากค่าประกัน ในใบแจ้งชำระเงินให้กับลูกค้า เราสามารถเพิ่ม Option ให้ลูกค้าจ่ายค่าประกันของเสียหายเพิ่มเติมได้ คือจะให้เขาเลือกหรือไม่ก็ได้ โดยมากถ้าใช้บริการของไปรษณีย์ไทย ค่า insurance จะบวกเพิ่มตามมูลค่าสินค้า ถ้าลูกค้าเลือกประกัน คุณอาจจะบวกกำไรเพิ่มจากที่จ่ายจริงเล็กน้อยสัก 1 หรือ 2 เหรียญก็ได้

  7. หากำไรเพิ่มจากการซื้อขาย บนอีเบย์มีสินค้าถูกๆบางทีก็หาในเมืองไทยไม่ได้ การเอายอดเงินที่เราเก็บสะสมไว้ในเพย์พาล มาใช้จ่ายซื้อสินค้าบนอีเบย์ ก็เป็นหนทางสร้างกำไรได้เช่นกัน คุณอาจไปประมูล iPhone มือถือยอดฮิตที่ปลดล็อคแล้ว เอามาขายต่อเพื่อนฝูงหรือคนรู้จักและทำกำไรต่ออีกก็ได้ เป็นต้น

แนวทางเหล่านี้เป็นเพียงคำแนะนำที่พบเห็นทั่วไป ซึ่งช่วยให้คุณลดต้นทุนแพงๆ และหากำไรเพิ่มได้ไม่ยาก ลองเอาไปปรับใช้กับสินค้าของคุณดูนะครับ
