If you go the scanner route, here are the steps you must take

  • Buy film. (this takes driving time and money)
  • Shoot the photos.
  • Get the film developed. (this takes driving time, waiting time and money)
  • Inspect the photos for clarity and re-shoot, if necessary. (this takes additional time and additional money)
  • Scan the photos (additional time)
  • Crop and edit the images
  • Upload the images to your webhost

The same actions using a digital camera are much more efficient:

  • Shoot the photos. (film purchase not necessary)
  • Inspect the photos for clarity and immediately re-shoot. (no additional cost)
  • Crop and edit the images.
  • Upload the images to webhost.

The investment in a digital camera is one of the best ways to become a more efficient eBay seller! I paid a little over $700 for my digital camera about two years ago, it was the best time and money-savings investment I've made!

Powersellers stay up-to-date on auction trends and changes - Because Powersellers take their business seriously, they constantly keep themselves up to date on the latest industry trends and changes. They do this by buying books about online auctions, participating in eBay Message Boards / Forums, and staying tuned to the eBay Announcements Board. They don't want to be caught off guard with a new change or new policy that might affect their business.

Powersellers are always looking for better ways to do things - Whether it's listing auctions, packing and shipping, getting organized, or expanding their business, eBay Powersellers are always looking to improve their online business. This is the nature of all successful business people, they want to improve their business constantly.

As the 4% of eBay sellers known as Powersellers continue to improve their processes, here's hoping that the above strategies will be helpful reminders in improving yours!
