Marketplace 
The
internet is a very powerful tool. When it comes
to e-commerce the world-wide-web hosts a vast array
of opportunities. Not only are there dedicated
websites for the purchase and sale of goods, such
as eBay, Amazon, DHGate & iOffer...but the internet
itself provides a platform for your very own website
and online store.
Custom
Sites Depending
on your e-commerce business model and products, deciding
where to sell your goods is very important. If
you use a Wholesaler and have a gap in the market,
building your own dedicated website with one of the
many available (please see our "resources and articles"
section for more information) store building tools
may be of interest to you. With good branding, effective
use of advertising and SEO methods you
could be THE website of choice for your
product category.
eBay Hailed
as the "pioneer" of online marketplaces, eBay provides
a level trading platform using online auctions,
set price sales and "buy it now" offers as the
means of securing a sale or purchase. eBay fees
are very reasonable compared to competitors and
to the avid enthusiast can be used to purchase
AND sell your stock if you know where to look.
Using the eBay store feature can give your business
an authenticity your customers require, whilst
offering you a host of tools and reports to set
your business apart from the rest. Many eBayers
use Dropshippers...
Amazon uses
a different format to many market places for the
means of making a sale. After an easy registration
process, Amazon offers a fast and intuitive menu
system for controling your online inventory and
sales/despatches. Fees are slightly greater than
eBay, but you sell at a fixed price...so you can
adjust accordingly.
As an Amazon Marketplace seller, you have the internet
presence of a very large internet
brand behind you...as the marketing of the product
is done for you. Please view our "Resources
and Articles" section and also Amazon itself
for more information. Most sellers use Wholesale
suppliers,
but Dropshipping may also be viable...

" Sites
such a DHGate and iOffer differ
from the likes of eBay and Amazon...as they
are geared towards the sourcing of products
from around the world. They do
not feature the auction style of trading.
On a B2B level...they
prove useful as means of trading between
like minded work at home executives in varying
countries...that
said, do be aware of the risk of
trading with individuals on the other side of the
globe. Utilize the varying
feedback functions, contact details and preferably
speak over the phone if your are unsure. PayPal
is a MUST for safe trading in online
marketplaces...however DHGate does also use a secure
escrow method to
protect both the buyer and seller..." |
Spend
some time exploring the marketplaces available

weeknesses. In time, you may find yourself
