Description

I remember when selling on eBay was a mystery to me. It seemed as though there was no rhyme or reason to why certain items would sell for so much money while others would not. Until I started to put together what it was that would cause for certain listings to get more views and sales while others just stay up indefinitely with not a dollar of action.That's when I knew there was something to be learned to separate myself from the other sellers on eBay.I stayed up day and night, searching for similarities between successful eBay listings and sellers. I scoured eBay, scoured the internet (and this was in a time when there was far less easily accessible info or tools) to find what were the key factors in what makes a successful eBay business vs just another person selling on eBay.Then one night, I stopped scrolling, my eyes widened, and I saw the full picture. That night everything began to change for me at a rapid rate.In The Bay Academy, I will teach you what I have learned over the last 20 years since that fateful night.I will show you the ins and outs of what it takes to EFFECTIVELY sell on eBay, not have decade-long listings with no sales.Who am I and why should you listen to me?My name is Ryan Steven Weier and I've been an eBay Seller for over 20 years. I started selling on eBay as a kid flipping anything that I could get my hands on; old toys of mine, sneakers that I would camp out for, you name it and I've probably sold it on eBay.Over the last 2 decades that childhood hustle has evolved into a successful e-commerce business which operates in multiple verticals across numerous stores, all on eBay.I have compiled my experience through my trials, errors, wins, failures and lessons over the last 20 years into one value-packed community: The Bay Academy
