Are you changing with it? Ebay likely could improve your business. Many businesses, including recyclers, are using Ebay to buy and sell.

I know recyclers that buy their saw blades for half what they used to pay, on Ebay. Virtually anything you could want is there, new or used. My wife wanted a dog grooming table. No problem, three models to choose from, new, half what the local pet store charges. My son sells radios and many other items on Ebay. Some are items that don't sell well locally; others are items he can sell quickly or for more money by utilizing Ebay.

Shoes. Yes, shoes. My friend told me I should buy my shoes there. He was right, brand new, 35% of what I pay at the shoe store every four months. What a deal! Go to Ebay, use the search field, and look for anything. You really will be amazed.

You can learn more about how to use Ebay at this years URG conference April 23-24, in Denver.
