Building a Brand on eBay
I should start by defining what I mean by brand building on eBay. I want to talk about building a new brand, or your own brand on eBay or using eBay. I would also start by saying that building some type of branding is very important as it does add value [...]
Fill out the product range
So you are looking for more products to sell, expand your business.

Many eBay buyers simply don’t trust eBay sellers

How to start an eBay business
Recently I got asked this question again. Usually when I talk to a group of people that I haven’t met, discussions move on to what you do for a living. I tell them about the companies that I am involved in and often I get called an entrepreneur (something I am still uncomfortable about).
