khThe Secrets To Making Money With
Cell Phones On eBay
By Kinghuman
1. Introduction
As of 2011, there are 5.3 BILLION subscribers to cellular phone services. In the United States alone nearly 11 million cellular phones are bought and sold every single month. Additionally, a new federal study says more than a quarter of homes in the United States now have only a wireless phone, and no "landline." That percentage doubled in three years.
The Internet has helped facilitate the growth of cellular phones and as of November 2007 cell phones were one of the top 20 most searched for items on the Internet with approximately 4.2 million searches per month.
Due to massive consumer demand and fierce competition, new feature laden cell phone models are introduced to the public practically weekly.
This has led the average consumer to replace their cell phones fairly regularly in order to possess the latest technology or to capitalize upon special offers which frequently involve a free or discounted cell phone.
Because of frequent replacement and upgrading, a typical cell phone user will have multiple phones, although they will generally only have service for one. This means that of the 170 million people subscribed to cellular phone service, most will have several extra or 'junk' phones somewhere in their home. Often times old cell phones will be kept by the user because they are either not sure what to do with them and/or regard them as having very little value because they paid nothing for them.
In reality the vast majority of cell phones manufactured in the past few years have some value and an eager market to purchase them. I discovered this purely by accident several years ago.

I found an old Nokia phone in a drawer in my bedroom. It was in fairly good condition but had been out of service for more than a year and a half. I was broke at the time and needed some cash. I figured that for $1.30 worth of listing fees I could list the phone on Ebay and maybe make an extra few bucks. A few days later I was shocked to discover that my old cell phone in only fair condition and with no box and none of the original materials had 9 bids and had sold for $46. Not to shabby for something I believed to have almost no value.
Being the enterprising young man that I am I realized that used cell phones and Ebay presented a golden opportunity.
Since that time, the cell phone market on Ebay has grown exponentially with more than 100,000 cell phones listed for sale every single month.
Why Ebay Is The Perfect Business Solution
I have been a member of the Ebay community since eBay first started up. In those days eBay was totally free. Anyway, a friend of mine at the time had told me that I could find incredible deals on Ebay and that membership was absolutely free. Seeing no reason not to, I signed up for a membership and have been practically in love with Ebay ever since.
If you are a 'budget conscious' entrepreneur, Ebay is quite possibly the perfect business solution. Think about it:
1. Ultra-low startup costs- You don't have to spend a small fortune on web design and marketing costs and hope that you start making money.
2. Immediate access to millions of buyers- With an Ebay auction you can build it and they will come. With a website they may or may not come depending upon how much money and effort you have devoted to getting traffic. On Ebay the traffic is already there with money in hand.
3. No technical experience required- Running a successful Ebay business does not require knowledge of scripting language or HTML nor does it require an advanced understanding of Internet Marketing.
4. Easy Market Research- No need to spend hundreds of dollars on market research. With Ebay, all of the market research you could ever want is available for just $10 a month and it doesn't require an MBA to make sense of.
5. No need for big inventory- You can list merchandise as you acquire it and easily remove listings as items are sold. This means you don't have to buy a bunch of wholesale merchandise and hope you sell it all. You can therefore start small and grow big.
6. Most people still don't know how to use Ebay- Although you can become an Ebay expert in just a few months, most people still don't

know how to use Ebay. This means that merely by learning how to buy and sell on Ebay you have a marketable skill and will be able to spot opportunities you may not otherwise have been able to.
Just about anyone with half a brain and a couple of dollars in their pocket can start an Ebay business.
Even if you've never sold a thing in your life you can quickly master this business and make big profits. The really, really great news is that most people don't know the first thing about Ebay and correspondingly don't realize there are thousands of people willing pay top dollar for their old cell phone.
This means that the growth potential is huge and getting started with this business now could spell enormous profits in the future.
2. Getting Started With Ebay
As we've already discussed, Ebay is a really fantastic place to buy and sell. One of the things that most attracts buyers to Ebay's listings is the use of feedback. A sellers feedback tells the whole world what kind of seller is offering the merchandise for sale. If the seller is inexperienced or unscrupulous, a quick look at their feedback will let you know. Likewise, if the seller is honest and reliable you will know this too.
This means that a seller with a lot of good positive feedback will be rewarded with increased sales and a seller with little or poor feedback will struggle to make few if any sales. The feedback rating system makes Ebay a very unique and very safe place to do business. With little or poor feedback, an Ebay seller is doomed to very sluggish sales.
This is why before you start selling anything on Ebay you must have a good feedback record. Fortunately, building a good feedback record is both quick and painless and within just a few days of opening your account you can appear like a seasoned and trusted seller.
Building Your Feedback In A Flash
The quickest and most cost effective way to build your feedback is to purchase ultra-low priced information products. Of the more than thirty thousand info products listed for sale on Ebay at any given time, I'd estimate that about half are priced less than $1.
In order to be perceived as a trusted and reliable seller you need to have at least 50 positive feedbacks and an overall score of at least 98%.

So here's what you do....
1. After you have successfully created your account go to the Ebay home page.
2. Once there, click on the 'Everything Else' category located in the left hand margin.
3. On the next page click on 'Information Products' in the center of the page
4. A listing of information products will then appear. Click on the 'Sort by:' sub-menu located in the top right of the listings and then click on the “Price + Shipping: Lowest First”
5. You will then have a list of thousands of very cheaply priced information products. Buy as many of these as possible, at least 50. Be sure to check that each one is from a different seller otherwise your feedback score will not increase. Once you have purchased the item, leave feedback immediately and send a quick message asking the seller to do the same.
And thats really all there is to it.
Within a few days you should have plenty of good feedback. The fact that your feedback is mostly derived from cheap info products won't matter as much you think as most Ebayers are more concerned with the number of feedback and overall score than with the actual items themselves.
Once you're feedback is established you'll be ready to start listing items for sale. In the next section we're going to look at how to find and purchase used cell phones in your area and make substantial profits selling them on Ebay.
