If you were to ask a group of people how they could make money using eBay, they would probably all come back with similar answers – sell off their unwanted possessions. I don’t think any one of them would think of using eBay as a strategy for regular longer term income and even cutting down their daytime work hours.

They are using the site in perfectly legitimate ways to help them build their mailing list, which will reap lucrative rewards in the future.If you have your own website and you want to build your own email list in the quickest time possible, you need to be looking at this auction site to help you do it.

Before we get into the details of how to use eBay in this way, let’s look at why the auction site is such an attractive proposition for internet marketers who want to build an emailing list like this.

If you stop to think about it, the answer is quite simple. There are millions of people the whole world over who – even as you are reading this – are browsing the listings on eBay, LOOKING for items TO BUY.

And what specifically do they look for? They look for items relating to their hobbies, their interests and their lifestyle. As soon as you log on to your eBay account and list an item for sale, you are tapping into a market that runs into the millions.

It’s far easier to find customers on eBay than it is to find them anywhere else online.

Anyone can set up a decent website – even if they pay someone else to do it for them – but unless you can find and drive traffic to it, you won’t sell a thing. EBay is different – the traffic is already there .

That’s an over simplified example of course, but EBay does have many advantages over more traditional online advertising methods and you can see the results very quickly too.

For starters, it’s pretty cheap to list an item for sale on eBay for a duration of ten days. For that time it’s available for the millions of eBay members worldwide to view and possibly buy. Your item will be listed in an appropriate category of niche buyers that already have an interest in what you’re selling.

Ok so the buying fees have changed again, but you could spend elsewhere without hope of success.

Just think about that for a moment. No other website – whether it’s an auction site or anything else – gives you the exposure that eBay does. You could place an item for sale in an online classified advert, but it wouldn’t get a fraction of the traffic that your eBay item will. And it’s very likely to cost you a whole lot more than a ten day auction on eBay.
