The new eBay feature called “Guest Buying” is good news

eBay is introducing a new feature called “Guest Buying“. This means that even customers without a full eBay account can now purchase items being sold on eBay with a “Buy it now” price. Store listings and fixed price listings are also eligible.

What are the implications?

This means the pool of buyers just got WAY bigger! That’s good news for all of us in my opinion.

Click to read more about the eBay Guest Buying Program right on eBay.com.

Join eBay’s official discussion of the new “Guest Buying” Feature on Wednesday, November 28th from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Pacific time. Even if you miss it live you can read the questions and answers left by others using that link.

My thoughts? This means more leads for my eBay sales funnel and I don’t have to pay a dime for it. That’s good news in my opinion. The buyers won’t be able to leave feedback which introduces an interesting spin, but we’ll see how that all plays out. For now I really like this idea.

Can you really sell your own homemade DVD on eBay?

Every few weeks or so I get an email from MySilentTeam.com contributing expert Terrance about another great example of someone selling a simple home made DVD successfully on eBay. He’s got a great book about it and it’s inspiring some cool success stories.

The beauty of having your own DVD to sell on eBay is the ease of adding inventory (just burn more copies) and the high profit margins. You don’t have to be technically skilled either – you can keep it all pretty simple.

Here’s some recent results from one fan of Terrance’s approach to eBay success:

You may think that $14.95 is a small profit, but keep in mind you can make as many different DVD’s as you want and there are over 12 other ways to profit besides just selling them on eBay. You could start a membership site, or have a related simple webpage with additional info covered with Google Adsense ads, or start a mailing list for enthusiasts…the ideas are endless. A DVD is a great niche product to build a business around.

Don’t worry about editing. Terrance does virtually NO editing on some of his most successful DVD projects. It can be as simple as point, shoot, and rewind if you want to cut something out.

Looking for ideas? Terrance suggests hitting local events and festivals. Interview the enthusiasts there (always ready to talk) and take footage of the sights and sounds. True fans will eat it up. For more ideas check out Terrance’s book. If you want to discuss these ideas (and other creative ways to profit on eBay and the Internet) you need a membership to MySilentTeam.com. About 1,200 members gather there to learn details on ideas like this one, interact with experts, and discuss strategies in our forums.
