eBay Groups are different than the eBay Discussion Boards. Groups provide “safe forum away from the public eye, posting IDs and trolls.” They are an environment to interact with other sellers who share similar product lines, interests, or passion for collecting. Groups are a great way to get free advice from experienced sellers, get answers faster than eBay Help can provide, and learn new information about eBay selling in general.

Some interesting groups I found include:

Girls of Well Worn (No comment – if you don’t understand this, I’m not explaining it…)

Thrift Store and Garage Sale Frenzy – Learn what TS and GS finds sell well on eBay.

Dead People’s Clothes – Vintage clothing.

Funny Hysterical Listings and Policies – Real stuff sellers have actually included in their listings.

Gnome for the Holidays - Not exactly sure, I don’t really get the whole gnome thing.

Random Liars – I guess you can pretty much say anything here.

Kind of entertaining. Check out the eBay Groups page and see what you can find. These groups are good for a laugh.

eBay Groups for Networking and Learning

“eBay Secrets” is an oxymoron. There aren’t any. eBay is like anything else – you just have to do your homework, keep your eyes and ears open, and pay attention. Everything you need to know is out there already.

For example, Join eBay groups on social websites like Facebook, MySpace, StumbleUpon, and Yahoo Groups. Network, network, network, and read what other people have to say. You will always learn more by listening (reading) than by talking.

You can also attend free eBay seminars in your community. Look for these at the local library, recreation center, churches, senior citizens center, or YMCA.

Search completed listings on eBay to see what items have sold at what price. Use sites like Terapeak to research completed eBay sales.

Listen to free eBay podcasts through iTunes. All kinds of sellers are out there talking about eBay selling.

eBay Secrets

My Facebook addiction has moved to a new level! Come join my new group on Facebook, Stay at Home Moms who Sell on eBay. This group offers eBay tips, support, and information about how to make more money selling on eBay from the comfort of home.

This group will replace the eBay Coach Forum, which is being gradually phased out. Let’s face it, Facebook is the place to be. Facebook allows you to get to know other members of the group on a more personal level, and you’ll agree that Facebook is just fun. With over 100 million users now, we can meet lots of other sellers with different experiences and knowledge. More members = more participation = more information = more sales and more profits.

You do not have to be a SAHM to join this group, however, Domestic Goddesses and Divas will prevail! If you don’t have a Facebook account, don’t worry. You can create a profile in just a few minutes and it is free.
