How To Do A Joint Venture On eBay, Part 3
4. There are lots of lazy and unscrupulous sellers on eBay who will copy those who are succeeding. Your prize listing that you worked so hard on may be stolen verbatim by a competitor. And picture theft is so common that some sellers take the time to print something across their pictures. If you're doing a Joint Venture, though, this ceases to be a problem, simply because you have no pictures or copy on eBay for someone else to steal! Competitors don't even know you exist.
5. Joint Venture sellers can, most likely, forget about shipping any boxes. All of my joint ventures have involved a digital download, which can be quickly and easily delivered to customers via autoresponder. Therefore, I do not have to mail a single box. Hee-haw!
6. Have you ever gotten involved in a price war? It isn't a pretty sight! Inexperienced sellers can mess it up for everybody. What they do is panic and start slashing prices. Once Seller A cuts prices, Seller B notices and lowers his, at which time Seller A escalates the war. Seller C notices and does likewise. The effect is that no one makes any money because prices are artificially depressed, often beyond the cost of the products for sale. A sane seller will have to hold on to her merchandise for a period of time until the foolish sellers are chased out of the market. Joint Ventures sellers, however, can serenely coast above the fray and are invulnerable to such nonsense.
