Example Of A Bad eBay Photo.
Terry,
One of things that I have learned from reading your materials is the importance of pictures. I could not resist sending this picture to you. It probably qualifies as one of the best (lol) pictures of the century.

Do You Need Liability Insurance Covering The Items You Sell On Ebay?
Hi Terry,
I have been getting your newsletter for some time now. I find the information very informative.
I see that you sell used toys. Do you carry liability insurance in case a child gets hurt on a toy you sell to their parents?
It is amazing to me that most ebay sellers do not know what liability insurance is. They think that I was referring to shipping insurance.
There was a workshop done on eBay awhile ago. It was done by a lawyer and he suggested incorporating. I really don’t want to do that right now….I am not a big enough seller to cover the costs of being a corporation. He also suggested liability insurance. I am having trouble finding an insurance company that will cover an eBay seller. I have a business rider on my homeowners insurance policy. It covers my inventory and has liability for selling clothing. I wanted to add toys but my agent does not think they will cover me. My liability amount is only $300,000. The lawyer doing the workshop suggested a $1,000,000. I have been on the discussion boards on eBay but no one has it or does not know what it is.
Thanks so much,
Jennifer
Can You Put An Opt In Form For An Ezine In An Auction?
Have you written any updates to your ebook Prospecting on eBay? The reason I ask is because something I read in one of your sales letters or articles made it seem like you wrote it awhile back.
Also instead of sending visitors to the about me page can you just have an optin box where they can opt in for additional information or a free report?
Basically, what I would like to do is sell an ebook or report where it can be delivered digitally and acquire leads of individuals who are looking for a legitimate work from home opportunity.
I have never sold anything on ebay so I’m just wondering if something like this is possible these days without too much hassle? And what kind of volume you think I could produce if what I offer is good quality with respectable copywriting.
By the way, great articles packed with lots of useful information.
Thanks a lot and thanks for your time.
Respectfully,
James Nestor
Adding Photos To Your eBay Auctions
I don’t know if you answer your emails but I have a question.
I ordered the Auction Revolution and was excited about the host your own photo thing.
I went surfing and found several sites that host your imaged for free. I’ve tried several and I can get 1 photo to go when setting up my page. That’s all. Can you tell me how to get the rest of them on the page?
Thanks

Keeping Track Of Yard Sale Purchases For Tax Reasons
Hi Terry,
My question is mundane & boring - sorry! BUT it’s an important detail.
My wife & I get a lot of the goods we sell on eBay from Garage / Yard / Estate / Tag Sales. For the tax man the cost of purchase is a legit deduction, but you need to have proof of purchase. Sometimes an estate sale is run by an auction company, and will provide receipts, but most are “home” run and do not. If you ask for a receipt, or pull out your own book an ask for a signature, you can get a really cool reception. Some won’t do it at all.
Any suggestions? Is there a better way to do it that still satisfies the IRS?
Phil
