My Auction Empires (Linford Direct)

With Skype you can make free calls over the Internet. Skype – the whole world can talk for free

We all like to save money and we all like to talk. But I can hear you saying yes but it costs money and even more money if they live abroad, and if you use the old method of using a telephone then yes it does. But I am going to tell you about away where you can chat and even see each other through video, and the cost Free. Yes I did say FREE.

Skype has many services and the best thing you can do is pop a long to their sites and take a look what is best for you.

Hi,

Over the next few weeks, having taken advice from Janelle Elms of OSI RockStars I am changing parts of this blog.

For example I have bought a new domain name and will be using this for my Education Specialist Program, and  this will be a static site with just a few articles there, but the base will be the classes I teach. this will be on LinfordDirectTraining . com (This is NOT live yet).

And I have bought another name for my Trading Assistant business.  This is on Trading-Assistant-In-Staffordshire . com again as yet this is not live.

Then I shall use this blog, to post hints and tips, product sources etc, and as the two new ones will be more static I shall not have to spend loads of time on them, just updating when I add new classes etc.

Happy eBaying

Have you wanted to shop online and prefer to use a card instead of cash in shops, but can’t get a credit card, then we may have the product for you.

The PayPal Top Up Card is a reloadable card that gives you the complete control to be able to pay as you go when shopping online, in shops or over the internet or even when on holiday. It is not a debit, credit or store card, but works the same way. It can be used abroad and is safer than carrying cash.

You buy the PayPal Top Up Card card for £4.95 which you can pay for via your PayPal account, if you have one, or if you don’t have a PayPal account, you will need to pay this from your first top up (please note that if you aren’t topping up from a PayPal account, a small fee is charged for topping up). Once you’ve topped up your card, you are free to use it practically anywhere you like, which means almost anywhere you see the Visa symbol. And when you are running low on funds, you can simply top it up again and carry on. It is really as simple as that.

You can be budgeting your shopping, controlling your cash flow or saving your holiday money, using the PayPal Top Up Card helps because this means that you are limited to only spending the money you have put on your card.

The Top Up Card is also great for traveling. It is easier than arranging foreign currencies, and with a PayPal account you can top up while you are away. Please note that there are certain fees payable where transactions are undertaken abroad

Happy eBaying

The Real Costs of a Product

How many times have you seen a product did a quick math in your head and say to yourself yep can make some profit on that I will buy a dozen. You get home list them, and they sell and then you suddenly find your profit has turned into a major loss.

What has happened, why did ebay let this happen (Or Amazon etc). Well I am here to tell you eBay, Amazon did not let it happen you did. Yes You. I know that is hard to understand that it comes down to little old you.

What happened to your profit was the fact that you did not know what your listing fees were, what the final fees were, what the PayPal fees were and the packaging and shipping fees were.

You need to know these off by heart. eBay do not hide them they are there in black and white, print them off, and have them by your computer. The same with PayPal, they do not hide them.

So now before you buy a product to sell add in all your costings and then see if you still have a profit and if you do it is almost safe to say go and buy.

Sorry for a hard hitting post , but sometimes people need to know it’s them that has got things wrong and not eBay.

Happy Selling

Andrew Milburn
