Auctions - Ebay Revealed

"I get so tired of mailing auctions packages.
Pick, pack and ship... over and over."

"I depend on eBay for traffic.
I don't have any traffic of my own."

"If I stop, how else could I earn income?

It's my only stream of income."

"I've basically created my own hourly wage job,
working harder than ever. For eBay."

If you are an auction seller, you do not own your own business. It owns you.

More specifically, eBay owns you.

Yes, eBay is a brilliant concept. Poor old Amazon -- they have to do all that pick-pack-and-shipping themselves, millions of times a week. But eBay? They get YOU, and millions of others to do the hard part for them, from home, as free labor...

the sourcing of product
the warehousing of product

the packaging
the shipping
the chasing after money
the handling of complaints and support
and so on, and so forth.

And eBay? They let the software run the network of buyers and sellers. And then they let the network effect take over...

More and more sellers meant increasing diversity of product, which attracted more and more buyers. More and more buyers meant more demand, which attracted more and more sellers.

"And thus did eBay's growth feed upon itself"... meteorically. eBay grew into a company worth billions. They now own all "the little people" who do the hard, tedious, physical work that software cannot do.

You Work For Ebay... For Free

You work for eBay... for what is basically an hourly wage, while your "business" fails to build its own equity. But from eBay's point of view, you're working for free. Actually, you're paying them.

EBay never owns, warehouses, or ships a single product. However, they do collect a small amount for each transaction... which now adds up to billions of dollars per year.

A "small amount"... until you consider the cost of doing all the "hard parts" for eBay.

A "small amount"... until you realize that you are not building a business of your own, one with true value (i.e., one that can be sold). (However, you are building eBay's equity... its shareholders thank you.)

A "small amount"... until you realize that if you don't own your own traffic, you can't own your own business. And you're stuck... because eBay owns the traffic.

Which means you depend on them.

Well... it's Independence Day.

No...
