"The Secrets of The .01 Cent Free Shipping Ebook!".

I'll start with the basics.

Everyone wants to buy an ebook for .01 with free shipping so that they can build up their feedback score and not spend any money doing it.  Sellers on the other hand lose money when they list and sell an ebook for .01 with free shipping but they do gain the feedback they need.

Here are a few tricks that the expert sellers use to minimize the costs associated with selling a .01 free shipping ebook.

1.  If you are selling a buy it now item for .01 eBay will not let you list a quantity of more than one item.  You have to have a minimum of .99cents to use buy it now with a quantity of more than one.  This is a problem because every item you list costs a minimum of .25cents to list.  You could list 100 buy it now items at one cent each, but after they are all sold you owe ebay $25.00.  Are 100 feedback points worth $25.00?

There is a way around this....

2.  If you list an item in your eBay store you can have multiple quantities of a .01 buy it now item!  And you are only charged a one time .01 listing fee, (you could have a quantity of 1000) you are charged .08cents per every item that sells.  So if you sell 100 of these items you will have 100 feedback and you will owe eBay $8.01.  $8.01 is better than $25.00.

There is a downfall to this...

3. If you list the item in your eBay store - the item is not shown in search results and therefore hardly anyone will see your .01 listing unless they can somehow find there way to your eBay store....

But, good news - there is a way around this also!

4.  I am about to reveal a secret that only I and a handful of other sellers know about right now.  There is a way to have your buy it now .01 cent item on the regular search results with multiple quantities that will be purchased from your eBay store.  Let me explain...

Let's say you list this ebook "The secrets of the .01 cent free shipping ebook" <-- it's a great title because it has the exact keywords that someone will use to find such an item.  You found it!

So you list "The secrets of the .01 cent free shipping ebook" in your ebay store for .01 cent with a quantity of 1000.  How is anyone going to find your ebook?

Simply list it as a regular buy it now for .01 with free shipping and it will appear in the search results.  Oh? you can only list a quantity of one in a regular buy it now?  

Hmmm...

Okay, I'll end the suspense here it is in a nutshell...

If you list an item as a buy it now for .01 cent you can only list a quantity of one.  And once someone buys it than the item disappears from the search results.  But, if you list an item for .01 cent in your ebay store than you can have any number of quantity.  So you make an ad with a regular buy it now auction with a quantity of 1 for .01cent then you make that listing for pre-approved buyers only.  Here is the trick - you include a link from your regular buy it now auction saying "click here to be instantly approved and buy it now from my ebay store" - link that to the .01 item that is in your ebay store with a multiple quantity.  Your listing will stay listed for the full 7 days instead of disappearing once there is a sale.

Shhh! Don't tell anyone!

Okay now you know how to sell a ton of .01 free shipping ebooks.

But your still not making any money.

Your actually losing money every time you sell a 01 cent free shipping ebook.
