Ideally if you are selling outside of Singapore, you should look at light weight items, due to postage costs.ljh wrote:Thanks for ur reply. It is very useful. So do u have any suggestion for a start up for a online business? your help is much appreciated.
Anyway, anyone knows how is the market of online buyers in singapore? Is there any statistics available to show this?
Thanks for the reply. It seems that it is not advisable if i only target on singapore market alone. Think you are doing quite well in ebay, so could you please advice, what are the important things to take note if i want to start selling things on ebay? for example shipping issue when i am selling to ppl from other countries. And what are factors to attract ppl to buy from you rather than other seller? thanks.spoon72 wrote:I do agree that singaporeans are very conservative when it comes to online shipping, it's a different mentality, probably because singapore is so small . I am making a decent living on ebay and singapore buyers make up of perhaps 1% of my sales. ALthough i believe the singapore yahoo site is much more popular then ebay.com.sg
1. Costs, make sure you get them all accounted for, including paypal, or anyother payment system you use, also packaging materials, ebay fees, postage..ljh wrote:Thanks for the reply.
