Can You Sell a Service on eBay?
Most people think of eBay as a place where you sell physical
items. They often start by selling unwanted bits and pieces from
the attic, moving on to other things in the garage and, if it
takes a hold, venturing into the market of buying items to sell.
Not many people associate eBay as a place where you can sell a
service.
Let's imagine I want to offer my services as a French language
teacher. Where else do you know that you can advertise for 10
days, reach an audience of millions and only pay a few pounds or
dollars in fees?
I can easily create an auction with my language services such as
teaching, proofreading, editing etc. I list my qualifications
and any appropriate memberships I have. I also include a photo
of myself - making it personal.
What I am really doing with this auction is selling myself.
I would start the auction at a minimum hourly rate, and probably
have a Buy it Now hourly rate too.
I know of a guy who lives in Germany and offered English
language services on eBay.de. Within days he received work, and
had to re-list many times as his Buy
it Now rate was being taken
up regularly. He gained commercial and private customers alike.
I also heard of a group of computer programmers who were made
redundant after their jobs went "offshore". Having found it
difficult to find new jobs, they decided to turn to eBay. Their
ideal was to stay together as a team of software developers. So
they created an auction to give the winning bidder the rights to
negotiate exclusively for their services. The winning bid amount
would go to a charity.
They started the bidding at $250, and the auction went well.
They did indeed find an employer who wanted to take the whole
team. And the group made several hundred dollars for their
charity. A highly satisfactory outcome!
If you have a skill, expertise and qualification, why not enlist
the power of eBay to sell yourself?
