Secret For Success in the eBay Market: Grab the Right Opportunity at the Right Time
eBay Member: Orawin Nantasen (Poon)
Story at a glance: eBay generates a 5-figure monthly income for Poon.
Her tip is to focus on international markets during festive season offering Thai high-quality handmade products
Today we would like to introduce Orawin Nantasen, nicknamed Poon, who has found online treasure after giving up her career as an office employee to become a full-time housewife.
“I used to be an office employee. It was a very secure job but also left me with very little spare time to spend with my family. Finally, I decided to become a full-time housewife and started looking into running my own
e-commerce business on eBay. I am very proud I took the significant step to become an eBay seller, as I now regularly generate 5-figure monthly revenues. More importantly, I can work from home and have time to look after my children according to my own schedule,” said Poon.
Poon started her eBay business in early 2007. “When I first began listing products on eBay, I had no clue about analysing market demand. Instead of making a huge investment, I began to test the market by offering a wide range of products, starting with fashion accessories. Some items sold well while others didn’t, but I wasn’t discouraged. I valued this time as an opportunity to become more familiar with eBay’s trading platform while honing my photographic skills and product listing techniques.”
Poon’s eBay business has gone from strength to strength, especially during the holiday season in late 2007. “A few months before Christmas, I found out that with a little imagination, many products such as home decorative items and party items were a perfect complement to festive celebrations. Since then, I started growing within the eBay marketplace by offering premium, hand-made Thai products including ornaments, home decorative goods and silk items from Thailand that are popular among foreigners.”
The key driver for Poon’s success on eBay is grabbing the right opportunity at the right time. This means choosing products that are suitable for festive occasions in overseas countries, especially major celebrations such as Thanksgiving and Christmas. Sellers should also list new products rapidly and consider the right time for closing bids in each country.
“Many of my customers are in the United States, United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada, so they often buy things related to major festivities. Beforehand, I will list colorful products ideal for that particular occasion, using the name of the event as a keyword to make it easier to find my products. On average, I list 400 items on eBay per month to give my products greater visibility to customers,” added Poon.
For new eBay sellers, Poon suggested that their first priority should be establishing the credibility of their own eBay shop. Buyers need to have the confidence to order products from sellers they have never met. New sellers must ensure their listings have clear, colorful images that accurately show what the products look like along with detailed descriptions. Products should be properly wrapped and shipped right away as soon as customers make their payments. Customers also need regular and sincere communications.
“What I have learned from my earlier working experience can be applied to my eBay business today. This includes my belief that credibility and a customer-service attitude are the key success factors for an eBay seller,” concluded Poon.
