How to Request a Member's Contact Information on eBay?
eBay enables you to directly request the contact information of your trading partner in case you are unable to do so through email. You can request for eBay users who are engaged with your current or recent transactions. A seller in any active transaction can request contact information of bidders on eBay for current transactions as well as in closed transaction of the winning bidder. Similarly, a bidder can request contact information of a seller during an active transaction or a closed one if he is the winning bidder. Moreover, access to international users might be limited due to the International laws.Open an eBay page. On most of the eBay pages you will see the ‘search’ button in the top right corner. For requesting the contact information of a person, click on the link ‘advanced search’ under the search button. On the left side of the page click on the link ‘find contact information’ under the members section.Next type the ‘user id’ of the member and the item number for the current transaction or closed transaction. The requested information will be received on your registered email id. But this information can be u

in on your order form:-

"I enclose a cheque/P.O. for ?25 (price includes p&p) made payable to Joe Bloggs"

It is common practise to inflate the p&p price in order to deflate the product price, don’t go over the top though.

Whenever you see the word ‘handling’, as in ‘post, packing and handling’, you know that you are seeing an inflated p&p figure. The word ‘handling’ can be used to justify any amount of expense if someone queries the fact they have been charged ?8 p&p and when they get the product it’s got a 50 pence stamp on it.

Rule Five - The Guarantee

You’re selling a quality product, right? There shouldn’t be any reason why the customer will be unhappy with your product, is there? So you should be able to offer customers a full, no questions asked, money back guarantee.

Don’t put any conditions on your guarantee, i.e., “if you’re not 100% happy with your product, just return it with it’s original packaging for a full refund”, with a guarantee like that the customer will think, “Oh, I see, if I actually take it out of the wrapping they won’t refund my money! sneaky !#@&*!”. Keep it simple and put a time limit on your guarantee:-

Advancements in Heavy Equipment
There is a rapid advancement in the field of heavy equipment technology. Unlike the earlier days now, using global positioning satellite technology, heavy equipment placed anywhere in the world can be checked or diagnosed. Finding the right new equipment suitable is also getting to be a big challenge. With lot of options and features to consider, it will be an overwhelming chore.Among the heavy equipment, backhoe-loaders are used in small demolitions, breaking asphalt, construction, digging holes/excavating, light transportation of building materials, powering building equipment, and paving roads. To smash concrete and rock, tools such as breakers can be used instead of the backhoe bucket. To empty its load more quickly and efficiently, some loader buckets have a retractable bottom. Grading and scratching off sand is executed with retractable-bottom loader buckets. The front assembly may be permanently mounted or have a removable attachment. Often other devices and tools replace the bucket. In order to mount different attachments to the loader, the backhoe loader must be equipped with a tool coupler. Find more info at www.heavy-

A Step-By-Step Guide for creating imaginative order pulling adverts for both on and offline marketing

OK, let’s get started!

Rule One - The Headline

The headline is without doubt the most important part of your advert, that big chunky text at the top of your ad, if this doesn’t grab their attention then you’ve lost a potential customer/sale.

The sole function of your headline is to get the readers attention so that they will read the rest offer your offer, right? That’s obvious, but pick up any newspaper and take a look at the classified section and look at all those lousy headlines :-

Increase Your Sales Today

Beat Inflation

The above headlines hardly make you want to read on, do they? In fact they’d be lucky to get a second glance.

Let’s say, for example, you was trying to promote a book about working from home on the Internet, what would be a good imaginative headline?

Learn How To Work From Home On The Internet

Yawn!...Boring! Not exactly imaginative is it?

Go To Work In Your UNDERPANTS!

Hhmm....No prizes for guessing which headline would get their attention!

Rule Two - The Sub-heading

With the sub-heading you should just give the reader a couple of lines of text to draw them into the main body of your advert, such as:-

Millions of people all over the world are making a fortune working in their underpants! Discover how YOU can do it too.

Now they’ve just got to read on, I haven’t even mentioned the Internet yet, I’m pretty sure they’ll want to know what I’m talking about.

Rule Three - The Body Text

The body text of your advert is where you have the chance to ‘sell’ the reader your product, it’s time to make that sale!

This is where a lot of people blow it, instead of concentrating on what benefits the customer can gain from their product or service they just ramble on how good their company or product is.

For example, for the Internet book I could write:-

"I’ve been marketing on the Internet for over 20 years, last year alone I made over ?250,000 from selling just one product..."

So what? Big deal! I’m not interested in how good you are, what can you do for ME, the customer?

Make a list of all the benefits people will get by buying your product and work them into your body text keeping the focus on your reader.

So, for the Internet book we could have:-

Discover the free way to get thousands of people advertising your product and YOU keep all the profit!

Learn how to start your own Internet business for less than the price of a pizza.

How to get your hands on top selling Internet products free.

Get a systematic marketing system that works while you sleep.

Insider secrets to e-mail marketing revealed.

How to TRIPLE your sales using one simple technique that doesn't cost a dime!

How to advertise your product just once and keep on selling it for years to come automatically.

How to build websites which really pull in the money and that take less than an hour to build.

etc. etc.

That’s better, now we’ve got their interest peaked, they are surely intrigued by now, we still need some more body copy to go along with these bullet points, such as:-

Discover how you can earn what you want, when you want without leaving home!

For the first time ever a top Internet marketer teaches you how to stake your claim on the Internet spending little to no money. You don’t need any Internet knowledge, business premises or employees, just a home computer and this powerful book. This step-by-step book will teach you how to....

Rule Four - The Coupon / Order Form

The coupon or order form should ALWAYS restate the price and briefly describe what you are selling.

If the price is right for them, they will then read your entire advert before making a buying decision.

Keeping this in mind, it would be WRONG to have the coupon or order form say:-

"Please send me a copy of How To Work In Your Underpants, I enclose a cheque for ?14.99 made payable to Joe Bloggs...."

This is wrong because you haven’t resold the product, it should look something like this:-

"Yes, I would like the secret inside information on how to make money on the Internet, please send me a copy of the book How To Work In Your Underpants. I enclose a cheque/P.O. (Includes postage and packing) for ?14.99 made payable to Joe Bloggs.....etc"

Now anyone who has just scanned your ad and gone straight to the order form will be intrigued enough to read the whole advert!

Don’t confuse your customers

You must be very clear as to how much your customer is going to pay, don’t confuse them, a confused customer won’t buy!

If your product costs ?20 plus ?5 postage and packing then your order form should say:-

"I enclose a cheque/P.O. for ?25 (?20 plus ?5 p&p) made payable to Joe Bloggs"

If you do not P&P then you should state this in on your order form:-

"I enclose a cheque/P.O. for ?25 (price includes p&p) made payable to Joe Bloggs"

It is common practise to inflate the p&p price in order to deflate the product price, don’t go over the top though.

Self Cert Loans - Special Lending For The Self Employed
Even as recently as a decade ago being self employed was a distinct disadvantage when you went to get a loan in the United Kingdom. UK Lenders just did not like it that they could not ask for that pay stub as proof of employment when you wanted to get a mortgage or other secured loan. Thanks to self cert loans that problem has been resolved for the self employed.As often happens with change, the market dictated it. More and more people are leaving their jobs behind and becoming entrepreneurs and firms are hiring contractors rather than taking on more full time staff in record numbers. Lenders had to introduce options such as self certification loans or risk losing a vast market.These self cert loans basically let you state your income without having to provide any pay stub. Some high street lenders but primarily loan specialists offer self cert loans. Of course, with anything that decreases the preparatory verification and increases the risk for the lender there are disadvantages to the borrower, generally in fees or interest paid.The self cert loans are no different. The catch is that with these loans the borrower

Indian College Graduates Need Some Training In English
I came to India in order to access its workforce and I expected that all college graduates have strong language skills in English. After I spent a couple of months, I found that Indian college graduates have a lot of potential to become great workforce; however, they need some training when jobs require them to speak and write in English competently. Especially when they work for companies headquartered in US, UK, Australia and Canada (and other English speaking countries), the training is mandatory. The followings are areas in which they need some training.Indian college graduates tend to write incomplete sentences and make many grammatical mistakes. Also they omit commas, periods and apostrophes. They often forget to capitalize certain letters, too. When they are instructed to not make those mistakes, they make a lot less mistakes. Also in most cases, they can find mistakes that they make. However, some training is definitely needed in this area so that they write properly subconsciously. All courses in college are taught in English expect for language courses like Hindi, Chinese and Spanish, but after all, they are not used

Car Insurance: Mini Bike Shocks Ahead
Car insurance takes a significant portion out of a lot of people’s incomes, but for younger drivers it can be beyond reach on a low income. Under normal circumstances a new driving licence is a clean one, with penalty points for motoring offences not making an appearance until after at least a little time on the road. These two facts make motorcycle ownership a much more attractive proposition for impecunious young people.There is however a noteworthy exception to this. It is only relatively recently that mini motorbikes have made an appearance, and their use has been taken up avidly by juveniles, but already legislation has had to be amended to deal with their illegal use. This is resulting in the motorbikes being confiscated and in some cases crushed; and their owners being prosecuted.There would appear to be little point in prosecuting a juvenile as a result of a motoring offence, but the authorities have decided to use the law to enable them to deal with offenders in a fairly unique way. Even though the offenders are usually children, who are several years from being old enough to hold a driving licence, they are hit

Unsecured Loans- Things That You Must Keep in Your Mind
The unsecured loans have become really popular in the recent times. This trend has received a boost with the advent of the online private lenders who have further facilitated this procedure and made it easier for anyone to apply for the loan and get it sanctioned.The biggest convenience of an unsecured loan is that it doesn't require any security in the form of collateral against it. Instead, the only factor that needs to be taken care of while getting an unsecured loan sanctioned is the credit history. The credit history is important because the lender wants to feel assured that his amount will be repaid by the borrower.To assess the credit score of a borrower, the lender undergoes this procedure, he contacts a credit reference agency and can find out the details of your previous credit history in order to find out as to how credible you are. In this way the lender is able to calculate the risk factor while sanctioning your loan amount. And if, by the way, you don't have a great credit history, then you must not try to hide it from the lender, else you could find yourself into serious consequences. You can choose an opti

"I enclose a cheque/P.O. for ?25 (price includes p&p) made payable to Joe Bloggs"

It is common practise to inflate the p&p price in order to deflate the product price, don’t go over the top though.

Rule Five - The Guarantee

“If you’re not totally satisfied with the book Go To Work In Your UNDERPANTS! simply return it within 30 days of receipt for a full refund.”

Rule Six - Typefaces & Graphics

The purpose of your ad is to get the readers attention, there’s no need for fancy typefaces, colours or images (unless it’s a picture of your product).

Make it easy for the customer to read, there’s no need to give them a headache or eye strain when they read your advert.

Rule Seven - Always ‘Close’ The Sale

Anyone who’s had any kind of training in sales will be able to tell you the importance of closing a sale which is basically a quick run down of the benefits of your product and then asking for the order.

No matter how good your advert is, if you don’t close the sale at the end of your advert, that’s another potential customer lost! You must evoke some kind of buying action, make them see that they’ve got nothing to lose by just trying your fantastic product, get that order! i.e.:-

"Order your copy of Go To Work In Your Underpants TODAY and try it out for 3 whole months, if the secrets of Internet success outlined in this incredible book don’t work for you just simply return it for a FULL, no questions asked, refund."

Rule Eight - Make It Easy To Order

Offer as many different ways for them to pay as you can, cheque, postal order, credit card, egold, or paypal etc.

Try and offer a FREEPOST address for them to send the money, it’s bad enough trying to find an envelope in most households, never mind a stamp.

Make sure it’s clear EXACTLY how much they have to pay for your product, including postage and packing, i.e.:-

"I enclose a cheque/P.O. (Includes postage and packing) for ?14.99 made payable to..."

Don’t expect people to calculate it for themselves.

If you don’t have a coupon or order form on your advert, let them know they don’t have to write you a letter explaining why they’ve sent you a cheque in the first place. For a no coupon advert you would write something like:-

"To order your book, write your NAME and ADDRESS on a piece of paper, enclose a cheque/P.O. for ?14.99 (includes postage and packing) and send it to Joe Bloggs FREEPOST, 14 Anystreet, Sometown, England."

Rule Nine - Know Your Target Audience & Market

It’s very important that you know who your target audience is and that you craft your adverts accordingly.

Don’t use long words that most people wouldn’t know the meaning of, keep your sentences short, simple, and to the point.

How would your product benefit your target audience? Why should they buy your product? What are it’s key features?

Never talk about ‘you’ in your adverts, the customer only cares about ‘themselves’ and how your product will enhance THEIR lives.

OK that concludes the rules for crafting order pulling adverts, you may not be able to sell ice to the Eskimos, but you’ll at least have a better chance than most!
