This month we finally get to look at breaking the summer doldrums and forward to the approaching holiday season. Now is a great time to “polish the apple” – getting yourself and your skills ready for the busiest sales period of the year. Recent eBay announcements mean that selling to the rest of the planet will once again present a strong opportunity, if your merch and mindset are ready for it.

September Presentation

“Crossing Borders: Selling Internationally”

With more than 50% of total eBay sales coming from outside the US, thinking about selling to the rest of the planet makes good sense. But is it a good idea for you? Our speaker will provide an overview of what you need to know to sell outside the US. Special attention will be paid to issues with customers, shipping & Customs obligations, DSR scores, and upcoming eBay changes. Avoid the most common problems and save yourself time, money and aggravation.

Coming Up:

• October Meeting 10/8: PowerSellers and Top-Rated Sellers
• November Meeting 11/12: Seller Strike Team – Sales Attack!
• December Meeting 12/10: Holiday Family Dinner Party in Moore, OK

I think they’re right.

Our guest speakers have been experts in their field: shipping, security, finance.  The presentations that I give can be applied to most online venues.  I will still tailor these tightly to eBay, since it’s the largest player available to us, but I will expand the topics to include non-eBay-specific lessons.

The internet is not what it was five years ago when the group started, and neither is eBay.   There are more venues open to Sellers than ever before.   Buyers have become more sophisticated.  The lessons of how to succeed online apply outside of the realm of eBay, and we must grow with our changing opportunities.

Welcome to the OKC Metro eSellers Group!

Even eBay executives will tell you that eBay isn’t always the right place to sell some items.  Uncle Joe talks about selling in the right place at the right time.  How do you know where to sell?  How do you sell safely?  What’s the cost and the pay-off?  We’ll talk about selling smarter, better.
