Global With eBay And Gain Big
When Paul Fischer and Gregory Skibbee started eBay jewelry seller Windsor Auctions (eBay User ID: windsorauctions-usa) in 2005, they weren’t sure whether they should try selling internationally. But when Fischer, a 39-year-old Lutz, Florida, entrepreneur, and his 48-year-old co-founder looked more closely at what they would gain by going global, the choice was easy. “The one thing that pushed us over the edge was that by agreeing to ship internationally, the listings would appear throughout all of eBay,” Fischer says. “We did it for the audience.”
Since then, Windsor Auctions has grown to a 20-person company with 2006 sales of $1.4 million. Fischer gives substantial credit for the company’s success to his early decision to ignore the naysayers and seek global business. “Half of our business comes from outside the U.S.,” he says. Windsor also sources much of its product overseas through manufacturers in Thailand and China.
