Still
interested in making money on the Internet?
Aside
from writing online as detailed in my blog article
entitled “How
Jamaicans can Legally make US Dollars as Freelance worker Online - Jamaican
Flexworking to make money from the Internet” you also have the option of
E-Commerce on Ebay by getting a Seller’s
Account.
 |
Make
sure you have a set up and verified PayPal
Account, as this will be your main method of paying for things online as well
as receiving payments from people who purchase items from your Ebay Seller’s Account.
Verification
within PayPal is a process that you’ll
be asked to do in order to verify you identity online. To verify your PayPal Account, you need to
have a Credit Card or a Scotia
VISA Debit Card or CIBC VISA Debit
Card. Then follow the instructions in my Geezam
blog article entitled “How to
use Scotia VISA Debit Card Online” on how to Verify your PayPal Account using a Credit
Card or a Scotia VISA Debit Card or CIBC VISA Debit
Card.
Optionally, you can do a
Direct Wire Transfer via a SWIFT/BIC
Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication/Bank Identification
Code) Transfer using the SWIFT/BIC for your Bank.
But as this is an
inconvenience to most buyers online, especially Americans, it’s best you try to
have a PayPal Account to do transactions
for the reasons laid out in and argued in my blog article entitled
“How
Jamaicans can set up a Payment Gateway in order to process Credit Card purchases
- E-Commerce the main Catalyst for Increasing Jamaica's Internet Penetration”.
As for Shipping, best to
use the Local Postal Agency instead of a Courier like Mailpac as described in my
blog article
entitled “How
to purchase items and subscribe to Magazines online and ship them to Jamaica”.
Despite the fact that
most of the local Courier offer their services such as Mailpac DealBug to allow you to ship down item purchased from abroad
as well as ship items abroad as well as described in my Geezam blog article entitled “How to ship things to
Jamaica after you’re purchase them online”, our Local Postal Agency is
surprisingly spry when it comes to sending Registered Items abroad via their
Courier Service.
Just make sure the items
you’re selling isn’t on the Jamaica Customs website as an item you
cannot import or ship abroad or export, technically speaking. Check the Jamaica
Customs List of Restricted Items and peruse this list, as it changes ever
so often.
But
what can you sell on Ebay that’ll sell
quickly, once you’ve paid the US$25 and set up a Merchant Account? Well the list
of stuff that’ll sell on Ebay is restricted
to what’s listed in the Jamaica
Customs List of Restricted Items. But for certain, coins will sell,
especially Jamaica Currency.
With
the continuing devaluation of the dollar and certain coin and notes going out
of circulation, these notes will become rare and thus fetch high prices on Ebay as stated in “Jamaican
currency devalues as ...DOLLAR SOLD FOR BIG BUCKS”, published May 6, 2014
by Diandra Grandison, Staff Reporter, The
Jamaica Star.
Other
things that will sell are uniquely hand-crafted items and original works of
art. But ultimately you’ll have to be guided by the Jamaica
Customs List of Restricted Items and decide what you want to sell on Ebay!
