My cost on an item is $10.00 and I put it up for auction on Ebay. What should my selling cost be? -

What should I charge to turn a profit and cover Ebay and PayPal fees? Thanks!

I could suggest $50 but it may not be worth less or more. You might list for 99 cents with a reserve of $50 if you want, then you can accept the highest offer or none of them. What is this item???

in my humble opinion, you should consider the time, transportation,and the snacks you eat it will cost fair enough for about $30.00.lol

You should check out the press release at http://www.bvdepot.com they are giving away free listing fees for auctions so your profit margin will be much better

Figure out how you much you want to make minus the fees and that should be your answer.

to confusing for me i always use craigs list.. you get to keep all your money

How do I find out how many people would eat at my restaurant? -

I m thinking of opening a pizzeria in a small farming town (800) with small towns all around. How do I come up with an average customer count?

I would like to caution you on opening just a pizzeria, especially in such a small town. There is very little profit to be made in pizza, even though it seems otherwise.My spouse has been a food vendor for 20 years and we watch the pizzerias come and go. Most barely make it a year, thus losing money instead of making money.You could have a minimum order size from your food vendor... usually around $300... and only 1 day a week for orders... say every Tuesday you order, you receive your delivery on Wednesday, and you pay when the driver delivers. Therefore, you could not just order a few things. You have to buy cases, half cases, gallons, etc. and order at least $300 each time. Buying from grocery stores adds up rather quickly when you only need a few items and can t order from your vendor that week. You would be charged higher prices from your vendor due to less volume to start but the product would be restaurant quality. Note: some items, say Kraft cheese, would be the same cheese they sell in the stores, but it hasn t been hauled around in trucks changing hands from wholesaler to wholesaler to seller, and there are bigger packaging options; which is very convenient once you get going.Just be cautious in this venture. You would be best to sell them from your house 1 by 1 as a starter and see how it goes. You could try to commission some local grocery or convenience stores to carry your item for a small fee. Start out small and work up to big.When you re completely ready (friends and family have tasted your product and profess to buy your pizza, you re stocked with products needed for orders, you ve run a dry run over and over to get prepared) run an add in your local paper, attach advertisements to all the free bulletin boards you can find in town (grocery stores, laundry mats, churches, bowling allies, convenience store windows, car washes, etc.), run ads on craigslist.com, yahoo locals, and anywhere you can find local people to announce your Grand Opening ! Use a short, concise, but slightly flashy ad. Something that will catch the eye of your locals. Lets say your town has a fondness toward something... see if you can use a spin on it in your ad. (Say the local school s mascots are the Tigers and the Cubs and your town comes together for gentle rivalry each year when football season starts. If its appropriate for you, you could offer a discount for each team to see which team gets the most local support. You could advertise this FREE at the local ballpark. Say cheese pizza 1 for Cubs and cheese pizza 2 for the Tigers... you would be able to announce the outcome at your ball field while everyone is there, for FREE, oh except for the free pizzas you would have to deliver to the winning team players! Another example, $1.00 off a large pizza when the Cubs win or when the Tigers win, whichever you so choose, however you so choose.Keep in mind... people only eat a certain amount of pizza a month. So don t be discouraged if this doesn t take off as soon as you would like. If your product is superior to others and marketed throughout your town by signage and word-of-mouth... you will get business! Just be prepared. :)I hope this helps!

It depends where you open it. If you open it in the middle of your farm, then no one is going to come. You need to open it near a shopping center or a grocery store, where other people will see it as they are doing their errands. It would be a good idea if you have the money to spare.

Unless you re psychic you ll have to take a guess, but a town of 800 seems a bit too small to make a profit in.

just go door to door in your town and do a survey if they would like a pizza place in town and how often they would eat there if there was

Which name do you like most for my company? -

small business importing designer diaper bags and accessories...a. LullabyJaneb. Style Icing

A, Lullaby Jane. It has a nice personal touch to it.

Lullaby Jane is much better than the second option. Style Icing says nothing about babies, and the ice in Icing sounds cold, brittle - not warm and fuzzy. You want a name that consumers can resonate to, and will in some way associate with babies, and a lullaby falls into that category, although it makes me think more of sleepwear and cradles than diapers. Maybe look for a third option.

Definitely LullabyJane! It gives an indication of what type of merchandise you are selling since lullabyes are usually linked to babies. Good luck with your business, it sounds like a great idea!

I think LullabyJane would be best because if you name it Style Icing people might think it has cosmetics and assesories in it. Also LullabyJane is really cute!

How can i make money working from home in uk? please no scam links? -

i have been ripped off before by home working scams, is the only way illegal?

You can only obtain legitimate work from home positions from brick and mortar companies. You want to send your resume out to companies hiring for positions you are qualified for, but include in your resume that you have a home office and you wish to work remotely. Include how you have your home office set up and what equipment you already have in order for you to perform your job. These jobs are just going to advertised as jobs, they would not promote them as work at home because they would hear from too many unqualified people.

Not every business site is spam so please believe in yourself first and do a bit of hard work to gain from the net, try the links below and check what you can do besthttp://4f3147jrl1w5qycdk12dyjsb0e.hop.clickbank.net/http://c00bbkjtgzt5lr5ckqhjj2p-m4.hop.clickbank.net/http://1e2c87vrh257lxfni6fwr8e-al.hop.clickbank.net/

Build a good website that gets alot of hits, you will need to learn website design, but put in the effort and you can get good rewards. Bingo sites are a good idea.

Grant money for expansion of a Real Estate office? -

I work in an EXIT realty franchise in Ohio. I have been asked to do some research into grant money and government aid for Real Estate businesses looking to expand/renovate etc. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

There s no such thing as grant money for a profit making business or company. Don t even bother looking. NO such thing! You need to reinvest your internally generated profits, or borrow against your cashflow. However, small business loans are nearly impossible to come by these days. Nobody is lending. Since you are in real estate, you ought to know better than anyone what the banking finance climate is like these days!

How to start a self-employed business in Illinois while working a full time employment? -

Hi there, first, my prospective business is not related to my full time job. And this would be my first time to start a business, and I don t know where to start. I ve been looking on State of Illinois Business Portal website for this category, but I can t find one. Can somebody help me, thank you in advance.

Well, the short answer is you just start doing whatever it is that your business is in the business of doing. If your talking from a registration standpoint, visit the nearest state tax building (or visit the website) and fill out the paperwork to start a sole proprietorship (you, the individual, are the business). That s the easiest way to start a business, though it places all liability on you. An LLC or corporation (your business becomes a separate entity), both having quite a bit more complex registration process, will protect you and your personal belongings from lawsuits etc. That you are currently working has no influence on the process (registration-wise) of starting a business.
