eBay Selling | Free report on eBay auction selling with Andrew Lock, The Renegade eBay Auction Seller

I'm happy to share my top resources with you as a newsletter subscriber. These are all companies I personally use and recommend to you. Many of these resources have taken me years to track down as I've gone through the process of trying various vendors. Obviously I can't guarantee that you'll have a good experience with all these companies - that's outside of my control - but if you do have an issue that they don't resolve to your satisfaction, let me know and I'll consider removing them from this page.

Cover-Action-Pro - www.cover-action-pro.com - this is a plug-in for Photoshop versions 7 or higher (including CS) but NOT Photoshop Elements. It creates BY FAR the best looking graphics for ebooks, CD's, DVD's, boxes etc, AND the images are 300dpi, which means they are print quality, which no other software can do.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disk.com - www.disk.com - they'll create, print and ship your information products for you.
Vervante - www.vervante.com - they'll likewise do everything for you, including design graphics

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.trypaypal.com - not many people realize that you can accept credit cards with PayPal's Selling Manager Pro. The rates are excellent and they don't have as many fees as other merchant accounts.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Camtasia is the industry standard software for creating screen capture videos, but there's an excellent, cheap alternative with the same basic functionality called Cam Studio Pro - www.camstudiotool.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

BYO are the leader in easy to use, high quality audio for websites. The quality is much better than Instant Audio Generator, and it's more flexible. You can now also use it for online video - www.auctionaudio.net

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hammertap, the auction research tool is what I use to consistently gain the upper hand in any niche, it's like giving yourself full access to EVERY eBay sellers business. I can't recommend this tool to you highly enough, it's a must have for any serious eBay seller - www.auctionresearchtool.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Vistaprint are easy to use, their prices are very competitive, and they can turn a job around fast if necessary. I use them for printing most of my promotional materials like business cards, postcards, folders etc - www.vistaprint.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PrintMedia have printed most of my published books. Peter Coleman is easy to work with, their prices are reasonable, and they're a very helpful company. Based in Southern California. - www.printmediabooks.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The software I like to use for online video on websites etc is FLV Producer. It creates much better quality videos than YouTube, and you can customize the player to match your site. It's an excellent piece of software that I use regularly - http://www.easyflashvideo.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The problem with sending large files over email is that they're often rejected by email servers. YouSendIt.com overcomes that problem easily by uploading the file and creating a download link that's sent to the recipient the other end - www.yousendit.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

You MUST keep a backup of all your important computer files, and one way to do that is online storage, which is now very easy and cheap. I like this service a lot - www.box.net

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It can cost a considerable amount of money to use even royalty free music so this service is phenomenal. If you need intro music for a teleseminar, audio interview, podcast etc, this is an online, downloadable collection of all kinds of FREE music, and the quality is superb. Make sure you check the exact terms and conditions of usage before you use it though - http://www.freeplaymusic.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're not a graphic designer it can be a challenge to choose suitable colors for a project. This online color generator tool is free, and it quickly shows you groups of colors that are proven to work well together. - www.colorscheme.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

With so much competition among online sellers it's not difficult to find yourself a bargain, if you know where to look. This is one of my favorite sites that is updated constantly - www.techbargains.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's annoying having to register for a site that you don't expect to use ever again, so this service collects login information for various sites. It's worth checking here first before you fill out a sign-up form - www.bugmenot.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I discovered Endicia it saved my office staff hours every day in preparing the outgoing mail. There are many many benefits to using this inexpensive system, so I encourage you to take a look at it - www.netshipping.net

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Despite what you may hear, it's not that simple to create an online e-commerce web store. ProStores, an eBay company makes it a LOT easier with a wizard like interface that guides you through the process, and of course it integrates nicely with PayPal (and other merchant accounts) for accepting payments - www.storetrial.com

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

eBay is awash with lists of wholesalers and drop-shippers. PLEASE don't buy any of those lists, they are complete junk. The ONLY company that has an outstanding reputation for finding reputable suppliers that are easy to work with is WorldWide Brands - http://www.wholesalefinder.net

Duplication: Duplication is the process of creating DVD’s & CD’s via “Burning” with duplication towers or a standalone DVD writer in a computer. Each copy is created from a master CD or DVD, and the copies are duplicates of the original.

Replication: Replication is the process of manufacturing CD’s/DVD’s in a factory using specialized equipment. These discs are manufactured (“pressed” or “stamped”) from a glass master 'mold' in a factory, usually in a quantity of at least 1000. Replication is the process used to mass duplicate major Hollywood DVD’s and music CD’s.

The data on both duplicated and replicated discs is identical. However, because of the way the discs are made with each process, the advantage with replication is that the discs have almost 100% compatibility with players, whereas duplicated discs have some compatibility problems with certain players, which means you'll get some returns from customers who say the disc won't play.
