VIDEO PROFESSOR LAUNCHES NEW eBay ® TUTORIAL

(Lakewood CO) FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Video Professor, the world leader in comprehensive self-paced computer software tutorials has released a new tutorial to help consumers buy and sell on eBay.

“I’ve been teaching folks how to use their computer for 18 years,” says John W. Scherer, CEO and founder of Video Professor. “I figured it’s about time I showed them how to make money with it as well!”

The new eBay tutorial will teach users how to buy and sell on eBay through its proven "What-You-See-Is-What-You-Do" method of teaching.

“eBay is a marketing phenomenon,” says Scherer. “eBay allows people to buy and sell, literally to run a business from their own homes. It just made good sense to offer people a product to learn about eBay in their home as well.

eBay has millions of users and tens of thousands of people run businesses on eBay. eBay is proof that one person’s junk can be another person’s treasure. People shop and sell everything from collectables, to concert tickets and even cars.

Here’s why you should learn to buy and sell on eBay:

  • 724,000 people use eBay as a primary or secondary source of income
  • Another 1.5 million people supplement existing incomes using eBay
  • There are 45,000 different categories of merchandise
  • There are 135 million registered eBay users
  • 7-8 Billion dollars runs through eBay every quarter

“There are things right now in your basement or attic that I guarantee you someone is willing to pay for on eBay right now,” says Scherer. “That’s what makes eBay such a success for buyers and sellers.”

The Video Professor eBay tutorial will be available in standard CD-ROM lessons as well as be available via the company’s VP Online learning library where users with high-speed Internet can stream the lessons direct to their computer.

As with all Video Professor tutorial lessons, you start with the basics. You’ll begin by learning how to get started on eBay, how to register with eBay, then search for items you’re interested in buying. You’ll also learn about proxy bids, Dutch Auctions and important eBay terminology.

Then we help you become a seller. You’ll learn how to create an account, and explore eBay’s fee structure. Other important areas include designing and setting up an appealing and effective sales site, dealing with inquiries from bidders right through to completing your sale. You’ll learn how to set up payment methods including PayPal, how to box and ship your items and deal with any after-sale issues.

Finally, Video Professor will take you to the expert level, including how to become an eBay “expert” and to use all the advanced technology to create your own online business.

“Whatever level of eBay user you want to become, we’ll take you step-by-step through the process,” says Scherer. “Maybe you just want to become a good bargain hunter, or build your own complete home business. Whatever your need, it’s covered with this exciting new tutorial.”
