Your Ebay Recovery Plans

Your Ebay Recovery Plans

I can give you a map on how to continued working and selling online. Their are hundreds of former sellers with different ideas of what you should do next, but in the back of your mind you must already have your own idea.

If it is to stealth your way back onto Ebay or to plead your way back into their good graces then I am not the one to aid you in that quest. I have been there and done that. Even when it does work it feels kind of degrading.

We are business people and we are forced by a company that we generate income for to ask permission to do just that?

Recovery is just that. You are trying to recovery from something that happened to you. Who recovers from a bad relationship by changing their name and face and getting involved with the same person again. Sooner or later the result will be the same.

We are here to talk about business. You are not a business person until you are in control of your business. How the business runs and how fast it grows. As long as you work at Ebay or even Amazon you are limited in that quest. You will always work for them instead of being in a relationship where you are at least equal partners.

What I am going to suggest again is that you take your online business on the road. You post your items for sale at other sites that would love to have you as a partner. You learn from these experiences and build your own website as a home base for all the things that you wish to market. The luckiest sellers to have been suspended by ebay or restricted by ebay were those sellers who had their own websites to fall back on. Those websites kept the cash flowing while they figured out the next moves. The next moves usually involved setting up shop at other sites and using their existing connections.

What are existing connections? Access to names and email addresses that we already have. That is going to be a future post. To conclude this post I would like to suggest that you go out and look at the new online marketplaces that are competing with ebay. Ebid is one such site. There is a banner link below for you.


eBid. Online Auctions with no listing fees.


If you want a walk through list of the best sites along with the basic information that you need to set up shop at many of these sites I have written a little book that you can find at iTunes, Barnes and Noble and Amazon for the low price of 1.99. The price is so low because I needed this kind of advice when I first left Ebay behind and every dollar was dear to me. The title of the book is Powerselling After Ebay.

Good luck with your online business and please take a moment to share this post with a friend.
