Nibiru

Is Nibiru Approaching?


Also known as The Twelfth Planet or Planet X, some are warning that this wandering body is quickly nearing the Earth - and could cause global devastation. Should you worry?
In 1976, Zecharia Sitchin stirred up a great deal of controversy with the publication of his book, The Twelfth Planet. In this and subsequent books, Sitchin presented his literal translations of ancient Sumerian texts which told an incredible story about the origins of humankind on planet Earth - a story far different and much more fantastic than what we all learned in school.
The ancient cuneiform texts - some of the earliest known writing, dating back some 6,000 years - told the story of a race of beings called the Anunnaki. The Anunnaki came to Earth from a planet in our solar system called Nibiru, according to the Sumerians via Sitchin. If you've never heard of it, that's because mainstream science does not recognize Nibiru as one of the planets that revolves around our Sun. Yet it is there, claims Sitchin, and its presence holds great importance not only for humankind's past, but our future as well.
Nibiru's orbit around the Sun is highly elliptical, according to Sitchin's books, taking it out beyond the orbit of Pluto at its farthest point and bringing it as close to the Sun as the far side of the asteroid belt (a ring of asteroids that is known to occupy a band of space between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter). It takes Nibiru 3,600 years to complete one orbital journey, and it was last in this vicinity around 160 B.C.E. As you can imagine, the gravitational effects of a sizable planet moving close to the inner solar system, as it is claimed for Nibiru, could wreak havoc on the orbits of other planets, disrupt the asteroid belt and spell big trouble for planet Earth.
Well, prepare for yet another possible apocalypse because, they say, Nibiru is once again heading this way - and will be here soon.
A Bit of History
The story of the Anunnaki is told in Sitchin's many books and is digested, augmented and speculated about in dozens of websites. But the tale is essentially this: About 450,000 years ago, Alalu, the deposed ruler of the Anunnaki on Nibiru, escaped the planet on a spaceship and found refuge on Earth. He discovered that Earth had plenty of gold, which Nibiru needed to protect its diminishing atmosphere. They began to mine Earth's gold, and there were a lot of political battles among the Anunnaki for power. Then around 300,000 years or so ago, the Anunnaki decided to create a race of workers by genetically manipulating the primates on the planet. The result was Homo sapiens - us. Eventually, rulership of the Earth was handed over to humans and the Anunnaki left, at least for the time being. Sitchin ties all this - and much more - into the stories of the first books of the Bible and the histories of other ancient cultures, especially Egyptian. (Here's a good time chart of the alleged events.) It's an astonishing story, to say the least. Most historians, anthropologists and archeologists consider it all Sumerian myth, of course. But Sitchin's work has created a diehard cadre of believers and researchers who take the story at face value. And some of them, whose ideas are getting widespread attention thanks to the Internet, contend that the return of Nibiru is close at hand - possibly as soon as somewhere between 2003 and 2013!
Where Is Nibiru and When Will It Arrive?
Even mainstream astronomers have long speculated that there may be an unknown planet - a Planet X - somewhere out beyond the orbit of Pluto that would account for the anomalies they were detecting in the orbits of Neptune and Uranus. Some unseen body seems to be tugging at them. The finding was reported in the June 19, 1982 edition of the New York Times:
Something out there beyond the furthest reaches of the known solar system is tugging at Uranus and Neptune. A gravitational force keeps perturbing the two giant planets, causing irregularities in their orbits. The force suggests a presence far away and unseen, a large object, the long-sought Planet X. Astronomers are so certain of this planet's existence that they have already named it "Planet X - the 10th Planet."
The anomalous body was first spotted in 1983 by IRAS (Infrared Astronomical Satellite), according to news stories. The Washington Post reported: "A heavenly body possibly as large as the giant planet Jupiter and possibly so close to Earth that it would be part of this solar system has been found in the direction of the constellation Orion by an orbiting telescope aboard the U.S. infrared astronomical satellite. So mysterious is the object that astronomers do not know if it is a planet, a giant comet, a nearby 'protostar' that never got hot enough to become a star, a distant galaxy so young that it is still in the process of forming its first stars or a galaxy so shrouded in dust that none of the light cast by its stars ever gets through."
Nibiru supporters contend that IRAS has, in fact, spotted the wandering planet.
"A Mystery Revolves Around the Sun," an article posted by MSNBC on October 7, 1999 said: "Two teams of researchers have proposed the existence of an unseen planet or a failed star circling the sun at a distance of more than 2 trillion miles, far beyond the orbits of the nine known planets... Planetary scientist at Britain’s Open University, speculates that the object could be a planet larger than Jupiter." And in December, 2000, SpaceDaily reported on "Another Candidate For 'Planet X' Spotted."
Another article and photo appeared in Discovery News: "Large Object Discovered Orbiting Sun." The article, published in July, 2001, says, "The discovery of a large reddish chunk of something orbiting in Pluto's neighborhood has re-ignited the idea that there may be more than nine planets in the solar system." Naming it 2001 KX76. the discoverers estimate that it is smaller than our Moon and might have an elongated orbit, but they gave no indication that it was heading this way.
Mark Hazelwood, who has a large website warning about the impending arrival of Nibiru and how we should prepare for it, suggests that all of these news stories lend credence to the existence of the Anunnaki's Nibiru (although none of the articles said the celestial body was heading toward Earth). But Hazelwood says his research indicates that Nibiru will be here in the spring of 2003, though he isn't specific about how he arrived at that precise time period. This website about Planet X narrows it down even further to "late spring or early Summer of 2003, probably May or June," although they don't specify their reasoning either.
Andy Lloyd isn't as pessimistic - or at least his calculations are different. Since he speculates that Nibiru was actually the Star of Bethlehem seen about 2,000 years ago, "the problem faced by humanity as Nibiru again enters the planetary zone will fall to our descendants 50 generations hence."
But Kent Steadman at the Sentinal section of Cyberspaceorbit.com is tracking Nibiru based on the Spring/Summer 2003 scenario and offers several star charts, timetables and other illustrations that show where Planet X will supposedly cross the inner solar system.
What Will Be the Effects on Earth?
As stated before, the gravitational pull of a planet entering the inner solar system would have profound effects on the other orbiting bodies, including Earth. In fact, the Anunnaki story says that a previous appearance of Nibiru was responsible for the "Great Flood" recorded in Genesis, in which nearly all life on our planet was extinguished (but saved, thanks to Noah). Going even further back, some researchers into this topic suspect that Nibiru once even collided with Earth millions of years ago, creating the asteroid belt and resulting in the enormous gouges in our planet that the oceans now fill!
Mark Hazelwood and others say that Earth is in for some massive and catastrophic changes as Nibiru approaches. Floods, earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, a pole shift and other natural disasters will be so severe, Hazelwood says, that "only a few hundred million people will survive." Another site says the gravitational pull of Nibiru might even stop the Earth's rotation for three days, citing the "three days of darkness" predicted in the Bible.
Some of the Nibiru researchers also cite the prophecies of Edgar Cayce who predicted that we would soon suffer monumental Earth changes and a pole shift, even though he did not attribute them to anything as specific as a visiting planet. And, of course, the much-analyzed Mayan calendar is said to set the "end of world" in December, 2012.
Astronomers and other scientists who would seem to be in a position to know such things have made no announcements about the approach of any planet-sized body. Apparently, they have not detected anything of the kind. Those who believe Nibiru is approaching, however, say that scientists do know all about it and are just covering it up.

Introduction to basics on selling

Advisors on the subject probably receive more emails on this subject than any other. Buyers read our Basic Seller's Manual; they want to start selling but just can't figure out what to sell or how to get started.
If you are a new seller, the first piece of advice is to clean out your garage or attic. You need to gain some experience selling before you go off and purchase a large lot of wholesale merchandise.

A lot of eBay sellers start out selling odds and ends they have around the house-and for good reason. For items that are in good condition, you'll probably get more money for them on eBay than at a garage sale. You probably have plenty of stuff that you'll never miss and you really don't need to store or dust anymore. And it's a relatively risk-free way to test the waters of eBay selling.

If you can't bear to part with anything you already have, start with products you know and have experience with. Choose things that have demonstrable market demand (that is, you know people are buying them). Don't make the mistake of selling only things you like, or the trendiest, coolest things you can find. If your goal is to make a profit-and it should be!-then you need to be selling things people will buy.


Start by selling used goods, small appliances, wedding gifts you never use, old books (non-fiction one are best), used sporting goods, clothing items (that great leather jacket that doesn't fit you any more or that pair of cowboy boots you bought on your business trip to Dallas, but never wear). The experience you gain will be invaluable, you will not risk any capital or make any investment beyond some small eBay fees.
Virtually everything is for sale on eBay. One night while watching the sport of Curling during the Winter Olympics, I though a curling stone would make an attractive doorstop and conversation piece for my office. During the commercial I went on line to eBay and found dozens of curling stones for sale. One of them now holds the door open to our billiard room.

If you are considering selling an item, do a search on eBay and see if that product or similar ones are being offered for sale. If the market is saturated, you may want to reconsider trying to sell that product. At the same time, if absolutely no one else is offering the product for sale, you need to figure out if that's because no one else has thought of it, or if it's because no one will buy the item.

Next turn to your hobbies and interests. Too many sellers think the only way to make a fortune is to buy hundreds of the latest hot selling items and put up dozens of auctions. The problem is that hundreds of other sellers are doing the same thing. (If you don't believe me do a search for diet pills, or cell phone boosters) As you gain experience you can move into these markets, but this area is fraught with danger for the new seller. There are plenty of companies with enough money to import these items directly by the thousands and undersell anyone who buys through a distributor or wholesaler.

Depending on the category, seeing a lot of similar items up for sale may work in your favor or against you. For example, you may see a lot of the same item pop up in response to a search because people are buying. Or, observes antiques seller Sue Rudolph, "It might also mean the market is flooded and nobody wants it." You have to do more than just count the listings, she says. Look at the individual auctions and see if people are bidding on the items-that will give you an indication of the strength of the market. Then check the completed auctions for the item you searched for. That will tell you what the item is selling for (if, in fact, it's selling at all).

Sell something you know something about. Almost everyone collects "something." If you are knowledgeable about a collectible or an art object, then you have the ability to do the research to find the products at prices you can resell.

Once you gain experience try to focus on larger dollar items. If you only make $2.00 profit per sale, you have to close (and ship) 1000 auctions per month to make $2,000.
Another technique is to sell items in bulk. If you bought a large box of videotapes at a garage sale, separate them into categories and sell them as a lot. You will often make more money than selling them individually. This can also work for clothing. There are sellers that buy children's clothing from garage sales, sort it by size and gender and sell it in lots. One of my neighbors does this. She will typically pay between $3 to $6 total for several pieces of clothing that she can get over $20 for on eBay. She does the same thing with closeout dealers. She will buy a pallet load of new children's clothing, sort it by size and sell it in lots of 5 or 10 pieces. Although she might make slightly more selling the pieces individually, this way they sell quicker, the average sale is larger and she turns her inventory over many time more often than she could otherwise.

On eBay seller I know purchases large lots of the hot selling items on eBay (cell phone boosters, pocket knives, etc.) and turns around and sells them in lots of 10 or 25 to other eBayers who want to buy for resale. He recently imported 50,000 disposable cigarette lighters from Korea that he bought for about 11 cents each. He sold them on eBay in lots of 500 for 36 cents each.
He made $125 on each lot less his eBay fees. I asked him who was buying the lighters and he said that most of his buyers were flea market, gas station and convenience store owners who sold the lighters over the counter for 99 cents each.
Everyone wants to sell computers, software, movies, DVD's, digital cameras and all sorts of consumer electronics. The sad fact is that SONY, Panasonic, Canon, and others don't sell their latest hottest products to small dealers who work out of their home. (In fact they don't sell anything except through their master distributors.) Even the big stores have trouble getting a large allocation of really hot products.
It is possible to get into this business if you have a lot of market and product knowledge (such as you work in a computer store) and you have the contacts to buy the merchandise. The problem is that you are competing with major retailers, some who sell under their own name and others who sell under blind usernames. One way you can succeed selling consumer electronics is with overstock and closeout merchandise. Millions of dollars worth of consumer electronics, computers and software are sold by closeout dealers every week. The trick is to really know what you are buying and to be able to work on small margins and turn your inventory over often. Unfortunately it takes quite a bit of capital investment to compete in this arena.
There is also a huge market on eBay for "vintage" hi-fi equipment, cameras, old computers and computer hardware and so on. Last year I found an Akai Reel-to-reel tape deck at a garage sale for $25 and the seller threw in 10 reels of tape. I sold the deck on eBay for just under $200 and sold the 10 reels of tape separately in another auction for $30. I met one of eBay's product managers last year at the first eBay Live event in Anaheim. She sells vintage Apple computers, parts and software. She buys almost all of it at garage sales, flea markets and thrift stores.

Drop shipping is another strategy used by new sellers. I hesitate to recommend working with drop shippers because so many of them are not very reliable.
The problem with drop shipping is that your feedback is on the line. If the drop shipper is temporarily out of stock or somehow screws up your order -- it is your feedback that will suffer. When you are starting out just one or two negative feedback comments can set your back months. Also the merchandise available from most drop shippers is very common and being sold by hundreds of other sellers.
If you are really strapped for cash, you can use a drop shipper temporarily. As soon as you can afford it however, I would start buying wholesale from direct wholesalers and/or distributors. You will make more money and have greater control over your business.
When I am asked, "what should I sell," I am usually also asked what are the best selling items on eBay. I.e. hot sellers.
Here is a list of the currently hot selling items on eBay. This is not a recommendation of what to sell. Each of these product areas is fraught with its own perils.

Diet Pills
Nutritional Sex Enhancers
Cell Phone Boosters
Pheromone scents
Glass chess sets
Low cost jewelry
Expensive watches and jewelry
Heirloom jewelry
Used toys in good condition
New and used clothing for children and plus-sized clothing for women
Western wear such as cowboy boots, belts, shirts, leather vests, etc.
Software (including closed-out or last year's software programs and games)
Strobe pens
Tools (power and hand tools)
Perfume (including perfume samples and opened expensive perfumes that are at least over one-half full)
Perfume bottles (some with or without perfume)
Religious books and Bibles (Bibles are always a perennial seller)
Non-fiction books on hobbies, sports, nautical subjects, history, military science, popular textbooks, and art & photography. Also books containing maps and art prints that can be broken and sold individually.
Maps and old prints of ships, flowers, animals (horses and dogs are tops)
Used auto parts for specialty automobiles (Porsche, BMW, MG, etc.)
Low mileage Japanese cars and pickups
Automotive models and car collectibles
Signed sports collectibles
I could go on -- but these are some of the best selling items on eBay today. (I am sure I missed a few)
If you want to know what to sell on eBay, probably the single best piece of advice I can give new sellers is to be unique and to specialize. Find a niche market, learn everything about it and work it over and over.

Issues to Consider

Whether you have a specific product line in mind or are still trying to come up with some ideas for what you can sell on eBay, consider these issues:


Cost. how much will the item cost you? There's more to cost that simply the price on the item-do you have the cash required to make the purchase or are you going to have to borrow money (and therefore pay interest) to acquire the inventory? Will there be any additional expenses, such as shipping to you or repairs if the item is not in saleable condition?


Storage. Do you have room to adequately and safely store the item while you are waiting for it to sell?


Shipping. What are the labor and cost issues associated with shipping the item to your customer once it sells? Is it very fragile, an unusual shape or extremely heavy? These are issues that can make shipping a challenge.
Product life cycle. How long can you expect the demand for the item to continue? You may have something that is wildly successful today, but next year you won't be able to pay people to take it away from you. Beanie Babies and other fad collectibles are a great example of this. Some high-tech items are also at risk of having a short life cycle due to technology advances. If you pay attention to product life cycles, you can maximize your profits while the item is hot and avoid getting stuck with excess inventory when the demand declines.

Season. When you put an item up for sale on eBay, consider the time of year. Heavy coats and sweaters don't sell well in the spring and summer. Lawn and garden equipment is not going to move as well in the winter as it will in the summer. If you have room to store items, you can make a nice profit buying off-season items and holding them until they sell.


Where Will You Find What You'll Sell?

One of the most exciting things about selling on eBay is that merchandise that will sell for a profit is virtually everywhere!

Your home. Start by looking around your own home at the stuff that's collecting dust on shelves or stashed in the back of closets, or in the attic or garage.


Flea markets. Flea markets can be a tremendous source of bargain-priced merchandise that will sell on eBay.


Garage and yard sales. Savvy eBay sellers can make a comfortable living spending one or two days a week shopping garage sales for items that will fetch many times what they cost when auctioned on eBay.


Estate sales. If a professional is already handling the estate sale, you're not as likely to get really great bargains. But if you have access to a truck and storage, you can advertise that you can buy entire estates. When you make such a purchase, select what will sell best on eBay, put those items up for auction, and then sell the rest through other channels.


Established retailers. Stores need a way to move items that aren't selling. Once Gotham City Online, a eBay company that focuses on clothing and accessories with sales exceeding $1 million annually, was established, co-founder Jonathan Garriss was able to approach retailers and offer to help them solve their overstock problems by selling those items on a consignment basis on eBay. Eventually, he began purchasing that inventory outright.

Discount stores. Look for clearance items at discount department and drug stores. Cindy Mayer of Cindy's Collectibles routinely buys infant's and children's items at the end of the season and stores them until the following year. "I buy out of season, and I have found great sales in drugstores," she says.
Friends and family. Tell people you know not to throw anything away. Laurie Ayers says that members of her church will give thing they are going to throw away or donate to charity, and if she can sell them on eBay, she does.

Buying From Wholesalers

As your business grows, you may choose to start buying from wholesale sources and selling on eBay at retail. This can be very profitable, but only if you choose the wholesaler wisely.

The Internet is full of opportunities to buy lists of wholesalers, often for just a few dollars. Save your money. You can get the same quality of information (or maybe even slightly better) for free by using any of the popular search engines and plugging in keywords such as "wholesale," "manufacturer" or "drop ship." But even that is not the best route to take.
Instead, be more specific in your approach.

Think about the type of products you want to sell, and then look for manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors you can work with. Find companies whose products meet your quality expectations, that have prices and terms you can work with, and that deliver the service level you want to provide your customers. Get sample products so you can see the quality yourself. Some companies send free samples, while others charge a nominal fee-either way, don't try to sell something you've never seen. Be sure it is truly worth what you expect to sell it for.

Be sure you're dealing with a true manufacturer, wholesaler or distributor, and not another middleman who is marking up their prices and increasing your costs. Ask for and check references. You want to talk with others who are buying from these sources. In addition, check with the Better Business Bureau, any industry associations, the consumer protection agency of the state in which the supplier is located, and any other source that may be able to verify their claims.

Legitimate manufacturers, wholesalers and distributors will also want information about you, including proof that you are a legitimate business and that you have any necessary licenses and tax identification numbers. A supplier who doesn't ask for this information is probably a middleman whose ethics couldn't stand up to moderate, much less close, scrutiny.

Figuring Out What's Hot

How do you figure out what will be a hot seller on eBay? It's a challenge for new sellers. "They're hopped up to sell, but don't know what to sell," says Jim "Griff" Griffith, dean of eBay Education.

In fact, "What should I sell on eBay?" is the most common question new sellers have, says Todd Lutwak, eBay's director of seller development, adding that "eBay attempts to provide as much information as possible to help people spot trends."
Seller Central is the place where new sellers can find hot lists that reveal the top search terms or keywords by category. Sellers can learn, for example, if computer buyers recently using the site preferred to use laptop or notebook as their main search term.

"It's great data for sellers," Lutwak says. "By looking at the keywords, you know what's selling. And it's a leading indicator of how you should be selling it." eBay also e-mails sellers information regarding the top-selling categories for the last month.

In the "What's Hot" section at Seller Central, sellers will find a Merchandising Calendar that reveals what items tend to sell at certain times of the year based on holidays and events. Outside sources such as Andale.com, meanwhile, provide information about hot sellers on eBay for a monthly fee of $3.95.

Lutwak sees strong growth in all of eBay's major categories. The products that sell best, he says, sell because of inventive sellers who are able to differentiate a commodity product through eye-catching listing information and innovative sales tactics such as 24-hour shipping or bundling an entire solution. "They try different ways of selling or accentuate different things about their selling strategy," Lutwak says.

To become a better trend spotter, keep track of eBay's hot categories, items and search words, Lutwak advises. Then be a pioneer in your sales strategy. "Try new things and become a trendsetter," he says. "That in itself is a best practice."

Steps for a successful sale on ebay

eBay provides you the opportunity to sell your items to a world-wide audience. Before listing your first item, it is helpful to know some basic information about selling on eBay.

Selling basic steps

1 Become an eBay seller
2 Prepare to sell your item
3 List your item for sale
4 Manage your listing
5 Complete the sale


Step 1: Become an eBay seller.

Begin by registering and creating a seller's account. To register as a seller, click the “Sell” link at the top of any eBay page, and then click the "Sell Your Item" button or learn about registration and creating a seller's account.

Consider signing up for Paypal, as this the preferred method for transaction for most buyers and sellers. When buyers use PayPal to pay for your items, you receive payments immediately and don’t need to handle checks or money orders.

Note: You will not be able to sell items on eBay if you have a private Feedback Profile. If you’ve chosen to make your Feedback Profile private, you’ll need to make it public before you can list an item.

Step 2: Prepare to sell your item.

Before you list an item, consider doing some research first about setting a starting price, listing time, keywords, shippings, et cetera. There are certain items that may not be sold on eBay. To avoid breaking eBay rules and the law, check eBay’s prohibited items policies to be sure your item is permitted.

Step 3: List your item for sale.

To list your item on eBay, you need to provide as much detailed information about your item. Information in a typical listing includes a title, description, price, payment method, shipping cost, and a photo. eBay’s Sell Your Item form guides you through the steps to a successful item listing.

Step 4: Manage your listing

You can track your eBay activities from My eBay. This page is especially useful if you have more than one item for sale or if you are selling and bidding on several items. My eBay's All Selling page lets you see the status of items you're selling from start to finish and manage your sales from a central location.

Step 5: Complete the sale

At the end of a successful listing, you'll receive an email from eBay that includes your buyer's shipping address and payment method. Once you receive online payment confirmation from PayPal or a check or money order from your buyer, you can ship your item. Always leave feedback for your buyer after you complete the sale, and remind your buyer to do the same. This will help you establish your reputation as a seller.


Key points about selling effectively on eBay
Understanding the following concepts will help you prepare for eBay’s unique selling experience.

 Your item will be among thousands of other items. For buyers to consider your item, they need to find it, so think like a buyer. Make sure you have good photos and a complete item description. An informative title, well-written description, and clear photos can make the difference between selling and not selling your item.
 An important part of selling on eBay includes communicating with bidders and buyers. Good communication helps to promote you as a responsive seller and will help avoid potential transaction problems. The majority of communication between sellers and buyers is through email, so it is important that you keep your contact information up-to-date.
 Your item listing will be viewed by a global audience. You probably won’t know your buyers personally, but you can know about your buyers by reviewing their member profiles. Setting your listing preferences in My eBay lets you to have more control over who may bid on your listings. This feature helps to reduce the possible transaction problems and potential unpaid items.
 Your Feedback Score is important. The eBay Community takes Feedback very seriously. It not only represents your reputation to buyers, but your Feedback Score is also used to qualify you for some seller privileges. For example, you need a Feedback Score of at least 20 to open an eBay Store.
 eBay has rules and guidelines called “policies” that create a safe, fair and enjoyable trading environment. They affect how you sell on eBay. By accepting the terms outlined in the User Agreement, you have agreed to conform to these policies. If eBay determines that a listing violates a policy, eBay may remove the listing from the site and may take disciplinary action. Be sure to review selling policies before you list an item (see Knowing eBay’s Rules for Sellers).
 Both eBay and the eBay Community provide resources to support your success as a seller. You can participate in eBay's community discussion boards and chats where you can connect with other members to get tips, ask for help, or just have fun. eBay Customer Support representatives also offer assistance on many boards and chats.
 eBay provides a wide range of resources for sellers. Listing items does take time, especially when you are new to selling on eBay. However, eBay offers selling tools and resources that help you to manage and automate your selling activities (see Resources for Sellers).

Seller’s checklist
Use this checklist as your guide as you prepare to list your item.
 Task
 Carefully inspect the item
Note any flaws, wear, or damage. Unless the item’s value would decrease with cleaning, remove any dust, stains, or dirt.
 Take pictures of the item
A good picture enables potential buyers to see exactly what they are bidding on in a single glance. Be sure to take photos of any flaws or markings. Learn more about taking pictures for eBay.
 Write a title and description for your listing
In the title, include the name of the item and any keywords buyers might use to search for the item.
In the description, describe the item clearly, accurately, and completely. Include information about the condition, color, brand, product type, model, size, and style of the item. Be sure to proofread and spell-check both the title and the description. Learn more about writing a good title and description.
 Research the item on eBay
Use the completed listings search to find similar items that have recently sold on eBay. Notice the starting and ending price of items that have sold successfully and whether they are auctions or Buy It Now listings. This information can help you decide how to sell your item.
 Package and weigh your item
Consider packaging and weighing your item. When you list your item, you can enter the package size and weight to have eBay automatically calculate shipping costs for you and your buyers.
Now you are ready to sell your item!

Feedback

What is feedback?
Feedback represents a person's permanent reputation as a buyer or seller on eBay. It is made up of comments and ratings left by other eBay members you bought and sold to. There are three types of feedback ratings: positive, neutral and negative. The sum of these feedback ratings are shown as a number in parentheses next to your User ID.
How feedback works
 Each member may affect your score by only one point (positive or negative). However, they may leave you one feedback rating and comment for each transaction they have with you.
 You receive a feedback star once your feedback score reaches 10 points.
 We encourage you to leave feedback after each transaction is complete so that other members may benefit from your experience.
 A high feedback score and percentage is usually a good sign, but you should always check your trading partner's member profile by clicking on the member's User ID or score to read comments they have received from others and comments they have left for others.

Feedback Tips
 Contact your trading partner and try to resolve any issues before leaving neutral or negative feedback.
 You may not remove feedback comments you have left, so be sure to leave only fair and factual comments and ratings that relate to a specific transaction you had with your trading partner.
 Leave feedback after a transaction is complete so that other members may benefit from your experience.
 Usually a high feedback score and high percentage is a good sign, but you should always check your trading partner's member profile to read comments and look for negative remarks.
When to check feedback
Before you bid on an item, you can check the seller's member profile by clicking on the feedback score next to their User ID. Sellers may also want to view the member profiles of bidders to see how reliable they have been in past transactions.
There's one thing we should tell you: the information in this tutorial shouldn't be thought of as legal advice. If you have a specific question about whether your feedback comment may violate eBay policy or could be considered libelous, please contact a lawyer

Whenever leaving feedback, use caution and good judgment. You are responsible for the comments that you make, and you can't change, edit or remove comments you've left about others. The rating and comment you leave become a permanent part of the other member's reputation on eBay.

Though the eBay feedback system is a member to member system and the comments are solely the opinion of the person leaving the feedback, there are instances, where no judgment is required on our behalf, when we will remove a rating and comment.
 eBay is provided with a valid court order requesting removal
 The feedback comment contains profane, vulgar, obscene, or racist language
 The feedback comment contains personal identifying information about a member.
 The feedback references an eBay, PayPal or law enforcement investigation.
 The feedback comment contains links or scripts.
 Negative feedback was intended for another member. This may only happen after the member responsible has already placed the same feedback for the correct member.
 Feedback was left by a person ineligible to participate in eBay transactions at the time of the transaction or the time the feedback was left.
 Feedback was left by a member who provided eBay with false contact information
 Feedback was left by a member who bid on or purchased an item solely to have the opportunity to leave negative feedback for the seller, with no intention of completing the transaction.
Also, members that have left feedback may agree to use Mutual Feedback Withdrawal to withdraw the feedback (comment remains with a notation from eBay and the feedback rating is removed) and members indefinitely suspended within 90 days of registration will have all feedback they left removed (both rating and comment)
Review:
 Feedback is a member to member system and members are responsible for the words they use
 Feedback is made up of ratings and comments, and shows a member's reputation on eBay
 Communicate with your trading partner before leaving negative or neutral feedback
 Feedback comments cannot be edited or changed after being left

Knowing the rules for sellers
eBay's policies are rules and guidelines that help to create a safe, fair and enjoyable trading environment for all eBay members. As a seller, you are responsible for reviewing and understanding eBay’s selling policies, as well as all applicable laws and regulations as outlined in the User Agreement and in Rules for Sellers - Overview.
Policies and guidelines specifically related to selling an item involve:
 Prohibited and restricted items –- What items can and cannot be listed.
 Listing practices –- Actions that are not allowed in listings.
 Completing the sale –- Practices that are not allowed involving transactions.
When policy violations occur, eBay emails the seller, as well as bidders, that a listing has been ended. Learning about eBay's selling policies before you list an item will help you to avoid unintentionally breaking rules (including the law). eBay’s selling policies are updated to respond to marketplace, community and security issues, so it is important to check them regularly for changes.
eBay’s policies are intended to:
 Support government laws and regulations
 Minimize risks to sellers
 Provide equal opportunity to all sellers
 Protect intellectual property rights
 Provide an enjoyable buying experience
 Support the values of the eBay Community
Violation of eBay policies can result in a range of actions, including:
 Listing cancellation
 Forfeit of eBay fees on cancelled listings
 Limits on account privileges
 Loss of PowerSeller status
 Account suspension
Prohibited and restricted items
Policies about listing items are often based on country and state laws. However, many restrictions involve the sale of controversial or sensitive items and are not necessarily prohibited by law. The limitations are a result of input by the eBay Community.
There are three aspects of item restrictions – prohibited, questionable, and potentially infringing items.
Prohibited –- These items may not be listed on eBay.
Examples of listings that are not allowed include:
 Items that are illegal or that encourage illegal activity.
 Items that are racially or ethnically inappropriate. For policy and examples, see Offensive Material Policy.
 Listings that do not offer an item or service for sale. For policy and examples, see Listing No Item.
 Services that are illegal, sexual in nature or that violate eBay’s User Agreement. For policy and examples, see Prohibited Services.
 Listings that promote giveaways, random drawings, raffles, or prizes. For policy and examples, see Bonus, Prize, Giveaway and Raffle Policy.
Questionable –-These items may be listed under certain conditions .
Examples of listings that are not allowed include:
 Listings of perishable items and do not identify in the item description the measures the seller will take to ensure that the goods are delivered to the buyer safely. For policy and examples, see Food.
 Listing a reproduction of a Native American item and not listing it in the "Reproductions" section under the Native Americana category. For policy and examples, see Artifacts.
Other polices involving questionable items include Pre-Sale Listings, Vehicle, Vehicle Equipment and Device Listings, and Cell Phone (Wireless) Service Contracts.
Potentially infringing –- These items may be in violation of certain copyrights, trademarks, or other rights. Some items are not allowed, even though they may be legal, because they almost always violate copyright or trademark laws.
Examples of listings that are not allowed include:
 Listings with counterfeit or bootleg items (counterfeits, replicas and unauthorized copies).
 Listings that include disclaimers of knowledge of, or responsibility for, the authenticity or legality of the items offered in their listings. For policy and examples, see Authenticity Disclaimers.
To avoid creating listings that would infringe upon intellectual property rights, see Protecting Intellectual Property Rights. You can also take eBay's tutorial on Intellectual Property Policies and VeRO.
Important: Protection of intellectual property also extends to each member’s listings. eBay members are not allowed to use another eBay user's pictures or descriptions in their listings or About Me page without the owner's permission (see Item Description and Picture Theft).
Note: Even if you offer to give away for "free" (rather than sell) a prohibited, questionable, or infringing item, this will not relieve you of potential liability. This applies to both seller and buyer.
See Prohibited and Restricted Items-Overview.
Listing practices
To promote a safe, fair and enjoyable trading experience, eBay has established a set of community standards and guidelines for listings and other community content. These include policies restricting the use of profanity, HTML and JavaScript, and links. In addition, eBay’s listing policies provide guidelines on how certain items may be listed and described.
Actions that misrepresent items – Misrepresented items result in a poor shopping and finding experience for buyers because their search results show listings in which the buyer may have no interest. These practices also result in an uneven playing field for sellers who do not use these techniques and attract fewer potential buyers.
Examples of listing practices that are not allowed on eBay include:
 Using brand names or other words inappropriately for the purpose of attracting buyers to a listing (called keyword spamming). For policy and examples, see Keyword Spam.
 Creating titles for listings that do not accurately describe the item for sale. For policy and examples, see Misleading Titles.
 Listing in an inappropriate category. Item listings that belong in the Mature Audiences category that are found outside of that category will be ended. For policy and examples, see Categorization of Listings.
 Listing items that include compilations and informational items that, for example, contain cross category information, are listed outside of the Everything Else, Information Products category, or are combined as bonus items with any other listing. For policy and more examples, see Compilation and Information.
Actions that avoid paying eBay fees – Selling fees help eBay support both buyers and sellers. Listing practices that circumvent (avoid) fees are unfair to sellers who pay the appropriate eBay fees and may provide a poor buying experience.
Examples of listing practices that are not allowed on eBay include:
 Offering the opportunity to buy the listed item or other items outside of eBay.
 Offering low item prices but unreasonably high shipping or handling charges.
 Listing an item that requires an additional purchase.
 Including contact information (e.g., email addresses, domain names, phone numbers) in the listing title or description.
 Listing an item where a seller allows buyers to choose from a selection of items.
To view the policy and more examples, see Circumventing Fees.
See also: Multiple Listing Limit, Reserve Price Violations, Unpaid Item/Final Value Fee Credit Abuse; Listing About Me; Tax Policy.
Completing the sale
If your item sells successfully, the sale needs to be completed. This includes contacting your buyer, accepting payment and shipping the item.
Examples of actions that are not allowed on eBay:
 Bidding on your own item, or having family members, roommates or employees bid on your item (called shill bidding). For policy and examples, see Shill Bidding.
 Interfering with another member’s transaction. For policy and examples, see Transaction Interference.
 Accepting payment and sending an item that is significantly different from the item described in the item listing. For policy and examples, see Seller Non-performance.
 Refusing to accept a buyer’s PayPal payment using a credit card when the seller included the PayPal logo in the listing. For policy and examples, see PayPal Payments Policy.
 Charging buyers an additional fee for their use of ordinary forms of payment including acceptance of checks, money orders, electronic transfers or credit cards. For policy and examples, see Payment Surcharges.
If something goes wrong, including having problems with your buyer, there are options to help with your transaction problems. For more information, see the Transaction Problems and Protection section of Help.
Other polices involving listing practices include: eBay Pilot Programs, Home Page Featured Policy, and Want Ads and Trades.
Other Policies:
 eBay allows discrete identification or ’credit‘ for third parties that provide services or products directly connected with the particular listing as long as they meet specific requirements. For policy and requirements, see Third-Party Acknowledgements, Credits and Links.

How to pack items for delivery on eBay

Simple, quick and easy.

Safe delivery with careful preparation

When sending a package, there are several easy steps that make your package more secure and easier to ship.

The Box
Choose a box with enough room for cushioning material around the contents. If you are reusing a box, cover all previous labels and markings with heavy black marker or adhesive labels.

Cushioning
Place the cushioning all around your items. Close and shake the box to see whether you have enough cushioning. Add more newspaper, styrofoam, bubble wrap if you hear items shifting.

Sealing
Tape the opening of your box and reinforce all seams with 2” wide tape. Use clear or brown packaging tape, reinforced packing tape or paper tape. Do not use cord, string or twine because they get caught in mail processing equipment.

Correct Address
Using a complete and correct address is critical for efficient delivery. Use ZIP Code + 4 when possible. Locate a correct address for accurate mailing.

Drop Off
Packages may be handed to your carrier or taken to the Post Office. Packages may also be dropped into a blue collection box with the following restrictions:
Stamped packages should weigh less than one pound

Packages with postage printed using Click-N-Ship or another PC Postage provider may weigh more than one pound, but must fit in the collection box

Buying Art on eBay? Don't Be a Victim


Tired of working same old job? Ready to give up that nasty commute and work from home? Want to be your own boss? Need extra income? Well, fret no more because now you can make big money selling fake art on eBay. (It's OK; eBay doesn't care.)
You say you know nothing about art? Not a problem. The morons who'll be bidding on your fakes don't know anything either. But unlike you, they think they do, which makes bilking them out of hundreds, thousands, and sometimes tens of thousands of dollars per fake, virtually effortless. Yes, committing felonies and misdemeanors has never been easier.

But nobody's that stupid, you're thinking. Well, guess again. In the old days, experts on stupidity used to believe that a sucker was born every minute. That was before eBay. Now researchers into imbecilic behavior can go onto eBay, watch real bozos get ripped off all day long, count them up, and easily verify that far more than one sucker is born every minute. So are you ready to ascend to the next tax bracket? Of course you are. Let's get started!

Find Some Art

Step one is to find a piece of art. Paintings are always good, but tend to be more expensive, harder to locate, and more difficult to doctor, so look for drawings, watercolors, prints and other works on paper. Works of art on paper are the easiest to manipulate, particularly prints (especially lithographs found in books about famous artists), and are recommended for crooks who are just starting out. Best procedure is to wait until you've got your water wings before you tackle paintings.

You can find cheap works on paper at places like second hand stores, junk shops, flea markets, garage sales, and rummage sales. Choose pictures that have a little age and look important. Better quality used bookstores and online used book databases are good places to find art books with prints or lithographs by famous artists in them. If you decide to cut your prints out of books, pick images that are printed on heavier paper, and make sure they're blank on the backs with no text from the next or previous page-- you don't want to be too obvious.

Choose Your Artist

If your art already has a famous artist's name on it, you know who it's by, or you know what artist's art it looks like, skip this step and proceed directly to "Fake the Signature." If your art is not signed or you don't know who it's by, or it's by a minor artist and you want to upgrade it to a major one, you'll have to match its style up with that of a famous artist. You'll find loads of examples of famous art by famous artists in art books at your local library or at large bookstores like Borders or Barnes & Noble. You can also look online. Look at art by different artists until you find one whose art looks like yours. Then you'll be ready to move on to the next step and fake the signature. Hint: The more famous the artist you match your art up with, the more money you'll be able to extract from clueless bidders, so stick to household names like Picasso, Chagall, Miro, or Dali. (Why commit a misdemeanor when committing a felony is just as easy?)

If you already know something about art or have some art education, you can probably match your art up with little or no help. But remember-- even if you don't know a single thing about art, all it takes is a little practice looking at famous art by famous artists, and before you can say "Warhol ate my homework" you'll be able to match fakes with artists in your sleep. By the way, your art doesn't have to look that much like the artist's art that you say it's by, but the more it does, the more birdbrains will bid on it.

Fake the Signature

After you match an artist to your art, your next step is to sign that artist's name somewhere on the art. You can sign it on either the front or the back, but signing on the front usually elicits more bids. The easiest signatures to add are ones you write in pencil, pen, crayon or marker on works on paper. If you're new at breaking the law, use pencil on a work on paper.

Find a good clear example of your artist's signature and then practice writing it on scratch paper until you get good at copying it. This may take several hundred signings, but be patient. You'll soon get the hang of it and be able to sign almost as well as the artist. By the way, you can often find good clear examples of famous artists' signatures on eBay. Don't worry if they're genuine or not. The doinks you'll be swindling won't know the difference either.

Additional signature pointers:

* If your art is already signed, but the signature is part of the picture ("signed in the plate" or printed by the company that made the art), add a signature anyway. A hand-written signature always enhances the value of a phony work of art.

* If you have trouble faking an artist's name, fake only the artist's initials, and then say whose initials they are in the text of your item description (see below). This tact usually works, but don't expect the kind of bidding you'll get when you fake the whole signature.
* If you have hand tremors or other problems copying the signature, date the art with a year close to when the artist died. That way, you'll be able to explain why the signature looks a bit forced, contrived, or shaky.

Write Your Description

Your eBay item description is the centerpiece of your flimflam, the hook that reels in the live ones. Well-written descriptions mean more bids on your ersatz art and more money in your pocket. So take some time, be thoughtful, and be creative. All dollars aside, the entertainment value alone of watching fools line up to get fleeced is more than worth the time it takes to skillfully misrepresent your forgeries.

Make up a convoluted story about your art's ownership history. Just about anything will do. Some eBay theorists believe that the more convoluted a story is, the more pinheads will believe it. Whatever tall tale you tell, keep it vague and unverifiable.
For example, say something like "We present this important Vincent Picasso drawing to the open market for the first time ever. According to the current owner, who wishes to remain anonymous, a wealthy art collector bought the drawing at a major European art gallery sometime in the early 1960's. Several years later, the collector gave it to his contractor in partial payment for a kitchen remodel. In the mid-1980's the contractor joined an obscure religious order, renounced all of his worldly posessions, and gave the drawing to his son. Several years ago, the son, a cross-dresser, rear-ended the current owner (actually, the current owner's car) while applying lipstick during the morning rush hour. The drawing was given to the current owner as part of an out-of-court settlement for damages resulting from the accident."

Stories like this make the art sound pretty good, but you can make it sound even better. No matter how worthless your art is, exaggerate its importance with a few well-placed art words. For example, describe a mass-edition reproduction print by the process used to print it-- a heliotype, an offset lithograph, a photogravure, or whatever. Cortically challenged bidders will have no idea what you're talking about, but will believe that those words make the art more valuable. Hint: If you're worried that a few bidders might actually know what an offset lithograph is, drop the "offset" and use just the word "lithograph." Point of information: Telling the truth here and there is unlikely to compromise the overall integrity of your fraud.

The art word "provenance" is especially good to use in your descriptions. Provenance in the art business refers to chain of ownership, and is important when it speaks directly to the authenticity of a work of art. Never mind that; use the word any way you want. For instance, at the end of the Vincent Picasso drawing description above, say something like "A copy of this provenance will be provided to the winning bidder along with the art."
Additional ways to trump up your fake's believability:
* Call your art "museum quality" and pepper your description with superlatives. Don't worry; they'll believe it.

* Write an effusive verbose excessive rambling treatise about the artist, his life, and his career (include the artist's birth weight only if you're offering a very early work). You can cut and paste artist biographies and career information right off the Internet and into your description (don't worry about copyright infringement). Note: Long detailed descriptions are excellent for hiding disclaimers (see "Skirting Fraud Laws" below).
* Go on and on about the highest prices that the artist's art has ever sold for at auction. Even though you're only offering a magazine illustration worth a quarter, talk about paintings that have sold for millions.

* If the art's been recently framed, refer to the framing with phrases like "framed to museum standards," "archival materials," and "UV protection." The dundernoggins you'll be duping believe that if the framing is good, that means the art is good too.
* Claim to have names of previous owners, certificates of authenticity, or other forms of proof that authenticate the art, but say in your description that you'll only provide those to the winning loser AFTER the sale is complete. Then send them photocopies of letters or documents that you found in books or library archives. You can also use copies of documents you find on the web. These documents should mention the artist's name and/or discuss art similar to the art you sold, but never specifically mention your art. Note: Your documents should always be photocopied; photocopies are much easier to manipulate than originals. Don't worry-- the infinitesimal intellects who buy your art won't think to question your documents, and won't ask to see the originals.

* Block out or falsify addresses, phone numbers, or other specific contact information on any of your copied documents if you think they can be easily traced. Say that you're doing this to protect previous owners' identities. You can also replace real names or addresses with nonexistent ones.

* Conning cretins with copies works well, but with experience, you'll be able to produce your own falsified documents including appraisals, ownership records, and certificates of authenticity. That will save you the trouble of having to locate and falsify documents belonging to others.

* When you make up names, put initials after them like "Appraised by Dr. Brantley Snerker, S.C.M." We all know that people who have initials after their names are right far more often than people who have no initials after their names.

* When fabricating names of businesses, use non-specific ones like "American Fine Art Appraisal Partners," "Appraisals International," or "Quality Art Investments, Inc." Locate them in big cities like New York, Miami, or Los Angeles, but don't provide any addresses or other contact information.

* Documents should be dated before 1980, preferably in the 1960's or 1970's, because then they're difficult to trace. You can say you tried to contact the experts or the companies that authored them, but couldn't find them.

Skirting Fraud Laws

Extracting a pea-brain's money is one thing; keeping it is another. Judicial use of disclaimers is essential to assure that the pathetic boneheads who will be financing your flamboyant new lifestyle have no recourse to get their money back in the unlikely event that they ever figure out they've been reamed.

Include a quiet unobtrusive statement in your description like "Sale is finalized upon receipt of payment."
State somewhere else in your description, preferably hidden in the middle of a really boring part where you're running on and on about nothing that's even remotely related to your art, that though all evidence points to the fact that your art is genuine, you are selling it as "attributed to the artist" rather than by the artist.
Place the bulk of your disclaimers elsewhere on eBay, on a totally different page from your for-sale listing, and casually suggest that bidders click over to that page and read it before they bid. If they don't, and most won't, they'll have no idea how royally screwed they'll be if they buy your art. "But how the frig can I do that?" you ask in disbelief. Simple. eBay offers an amenity called a "me" page where you can type disclaimers until your hands cramp up. Have a section where you discuss and define terms used in your listings like "attributed to," "in the manner of," "in our opinion," or "in the style of." Then clearly state that no refunds will be given on any art that is described using any of those terms. You can also use your "me" page to blather on about how honest you are, how much you love art, that your second cousin was an Eagle Scout, and how long you've been in business.
Guarantee that the buyer will be entitled to a full refund if the art has not been properly represented as an original watercolor, drawing, lithograph, print or whatever else it actually is. Say something like "We guarantee that this is a genuine pencil sketch on paper." Only guarantee the medium, though; never guarantee that it's by the artist whose signature you've added.
Offer a full refund within ten days if the muttonhead who buys it snaps out of his IQ coma and provides a recognized expert's opinion saying the art is not by the artist whose signature it bears. Don't worry-- you'll never have to refund any money. First of all, finding a recognized expert is not easy. Second, paying for that expert's opinion is expensive-- usually costing hundreds and sometimes thousands of dollars. Third, getting an expert's opinion within ten days is almost impossible because they have to see the art in person, meaning that you have to ship it to them. Fourth, if the buyer says he's found an expert, tell him you don't recognize that person as an expert.

Other helpful hints:

Use "private" auctions to hide bidders' identities (see eBay for instructions). Private auctions prevent people who see you're committing larceny from emailing the clever victims who can't wait to get rich at your expense.
Only accept checks, money orders, cashiers checks, wire transfers, certified checks, or other forms of cash. That way, the dorks you nail will have a really tough time trying to get their money back. The good news is that if they're stupid enough to buy your bogus baloney in the first place (and they will be), they're unlikely to ask for refunds later.
If, by some extraordinary stretch of the imagination you have to refund a bidder's money, go ahead and do it. As soon as you get the art back, put it up for sale on eBay again. It'll sell just as easily as it did the first time.
