POSTAGE LOADING! YOUR GREATEST WEAPON TO FIGHT BACK!
POWER SELLERS GREATEST WEAPON - POSTAGE LOADINGWith PowerSellers and Dropshippers you will find that their stores do not have a lot of $300.00+ items, have a look next time, they will have 34 pages sure, which equates to 1700 items but all items have a starting price of .99cents and they may ultimately sell for .99cents however the PowerSeller covers his bottom line with a protection clause PowerSellers call Postage Loading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What is Postage Loading!!!!!!!! It is when Power Sellers list $35.00 postage if that is their cost price then they are not bothered if they only receive 1 bid and sell for .99cents, the customer is satisfied and the Power Seller hasn't lost a cent, Power Sellers rarely lose on okay, they may only make a dollar on some cheap quick turn over items but they rarely sell at a loss - there is one day a week Power Sellers fear and are absolutely powerless against due to automated listings. Power Sellers buy large orders from their Suppliers seeing their "buy" prices very low, much lower than you the buyer could ever secure, so why not read on and find out how to buy at Power Sellers Cost Prices and never at inflated prices with profits for the Power Seller included.Only Personal Sellers using okay as an Australian/World Wide Garage Sale sell at a loss, because they don't know the tricks the Power Sellers use to ensure they cover their bottom line. Many private Sellers have their auctions finish on weak trading days and at a.m. times when most are asleep, however even Power Sellers have a weakness, a weakness they despise - selling at cost or below!!!!!!! Example of Power Sellers making sure they rarely lose on okay with any item they list. Eg: MP4 player costs the Power Seller $18.00 delivered (dropshipper includes free shipping), he lists at .99cents because that's the possible lowest starting cost in relation to how much okay charge to list his item so they never sell at a loss they state postage at $17.00, this is the exact amount to cover his cost, some list a dollar or two higher to cover okay fees - some list a dollar or two lower as they find their items get bids and the ones that don't they will only re-list (and if it sells the second time around their listing fees are then credited back to them - this is the important clause that all Power Sellers despise - Dreaded Tuesdays) - so they keep their starting price as low as possible to avoid paying one dollar more than they have to in okay fees and they never increase postage past the point of cost when using this rule as they wil begee overpriced and even at .99cents their end selling price is not gepetitive. Extremely Important: Dropshipping Power SellersHighly Successful Power Sellers that dropship would rather sell 100 items that they will never see, handle or touch and make $2.00 profit on them for a total of $200 profit than endeavour to make $5.00 profit on each quick turn over item and end up not selling them at all, all they achieved is having to pay re-list fees if item does not sell second time around. They are Power Sellers for a reason - THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL okay SELLERS.okay are currently working on new regulations to avoid Power Sellers and all Sellers for that matter from Postage Loading. Many okayers will welgee this new regulation and it will be interesting to see how the Chinese Sellers adjust to these new regulations, Chinese or Hong Kong based Sellers are notorious for loading their items with very high postage costs eg: actual cost of shipping say $4.00 for a pair of ear-rings that they will charge up to $99.00 in Shipping. Many of us will have received our item with a postage receipt of say $4.00 when in fact we paid $35.00!!!!Regarding low profit on each item and high turn over of items:This is why all large volume sellers start every single auction at .99cents and any high price ticket item that is eg: $300.00 is a "BUY IT NOW ONLY". If you are new to okay then the next time you are browsing remember this little lesson and look at the PowerSeller with 34 pages of items listed and all will have a starting price of .99cents with a postage rate that is not that of what Shipping gepanies will charge to deliver it and the high ticket priced items will be buy it now. YOUR WEAPON TO FIGHT BACK AGAINST POWER SELLERS THAT POSTAGE LOAD!ALL POWERSELLERS USE TURBO LISTER - THEY HAVE NO CONTROL OF WHEN THEIR AUCTIONS FINISH!IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT BACK AND SAVE HEAPS OF $$$ THEN READ ON!Very Important Note:Search items with only 10 minutes remaining on TUESDAYS between 3PM - 11PM these are the items that slip through without any bids because the Power Seller had no control as to when his listings finish due to using Turbo Lister - you can buy these items at the cheapest possible price and instead of the Power Seller re-listing them YOU CAN RE-LIST THEM! If you choose to re-sell it and make a profit - ALWAYS ENSURE you start them on a Wednesday with either the 3 or 10 day option which will ENSURE YOUR ITEM WILL FINISH SATURDAY 450% more traffic between 11am 3pm Saturdays.SIMPLY PUT:TUESDAY 3PM - 11PM SEARCH ITEMS WITH ONLY 10 MINS REMAINING!BUY ITEMS THAT SLIP THROUGH DUE TO FINISHING ON TUESDAY (THE QUIETEST NIGHT OF THE WEEK ON okay).Carry out your research and only search the products that you are interested in purchasing as you will find there are thousands of items finishing with only 10 minutes to go.INSTEAD OF POWER SELLER RE-LISTING ITEM YOU BUY IT BELOW COST - YOU LIST IT! YOU MAKE THE PROFIT!Remember choosing the 10 day option on a Wednesday you are assured of having the listing active and running for two Saturdays! (10 day option) Saturdays between 11am 3pm has 450% more traffic than any other time. Also listing on Wednesdays ensure you will be on page one of the listings pages on the final Saturday which means greatly increased sales due to the high volume of okay buyers on that day.You will always sell more items on a Saturday so ensure all your listings are active for two Saturdays instead of just one. You get double the value out of okay as you are only paying listing fees once and get to have all your auctions finish on a Saturday which means you will be on page one when buyers search.This little tip alone will save you heaps of money over time and increase your sales dramatically due to having them finishing on a Saturday. I wish I had of known this many years ago, I would have saved hundreds maybe thousands of dollars in listing fees and re-listing fees due to my items finishing on a Tuesday for example (the worst day of the week). Finishing on say a Tuesday dramatically reduces the chances of obtaining a high final auction price.Many buyers will bid against each other on a Saturday! The more bidders on the final day of auction means more money obtained for your item. You can now see why it is so important to have your listings finishing on a Saturday.Eg: Real Estate Auctions are always conducted on Saturdays / Sundays Why? - Due to many more potential bidders on a weekend for Home and Property Auctons - greater number of bidders means HIGHER FINAL AUCTION PRICES! Plain Simple Fact!Hope we have helped you to understand the principals and theories behind Postage Loading and the way you can beat them at their own game!!We also hope you gained valuable knowledge against Postage Loading and wish you successful shopping on okay - may all your Purchases be bargains and all your Sales be monsterous!Kind regards,Daryl and Trish Evans.Storage Surplus Auctions
