2.Don't exclude buyers from foreign countries or with free email accounts like Hotmail or AOL. Ultimately, you are only hurting yourself. In some categories best buyers are located in a different country than you are.

3.Keep your ads simple. If you confuse buyers, they will either by-pass your offerings, or leave you negative feedback because they read something into your ad that you never meant to be there.

4.Don't attempt to increase your profits by a few dollars by charging excessive postage. Buyers are not stupid. They realize what you are trying to do and most will avoid your auctions like plague.

5.Give your customers all facts to bid intelligently. Don't tell them you will figure out what postage will be after auction ends. Tell them in your ad what class postage you use and what actual amount will be.

6.Don't discriminate against buyers who don't have a perfect feedback record. As long as you have good business procedures in place (such as waiting an appropriate period of time for checks to clear), there is no need to look downward at buyers whose reputation might have been damaged just because they got a bad deal. It happens to everyone and someday it will happen to you.

7.Don't discriminate against buyers who have little or no feedback. Remember, you were in same position at one time. Once you have been in business for a while you'll learn that a buyer with little or no feedback is no more likely to screw you than one with a shooting star.

Well, before you rush out and start trying to generate leads for your MLM home based business, you need to have a plan. It isn’t enough to tell people about your MLM home based business and its products and expect them to sign up. You need to know as much as you possibly can about your MLM distributor, products, and compensation plan so that you can answer any questions a MLM lead may have.

The more you know and more comfortable with it you are, easier it is to make people want to become part of your MLM home based business. Not knowing answers to their questions or giving vague answers is more likely to make any MLM leads you do generate mistrustful of you and your MLM home based business. And be sure to have a follow-up plan for what you’ll do after you’ve generated some leads and started making contacts because it generally takes several contacts before people take action of any kind, whether buying a product or signing up for a MLM home based business opportunity.

Once you know your MLM home based business inside and out, you’re ready to start generating those MLM leads. One of first places to look, of course, is to your friends and personal acquaintances. Make a list of everyone you know. You’ll likely be surprised by how long that list is, and people you know are a good place to start looking for MLM recruits. A lot of time, even if your friends and acquaintances aren’t interested in a MLM business themselves, they can give you names of people they know who will be interested in your MLM home based business opportunity. And if they don’t volunteer any names, don’t hesitate to ask them, politely of course, for names of people you can contact.
