This is how I started selling on Ebay
Ebay what a great place to sell just about anything. Other peoples junk is someonelse treasure. I started like most people might going to yard sales, thrift stores, and auctions. These are all great places to find stuff that you can sell on ebay.
What if you don't know what will sell. Its hard to know what will and what wont. I found about 5 different items and posted them. I believe I had a old spoopy i bought for a dollar at a yard sale, sold it for 10.00. I found a Vase that had a signature on it Campbell, looked it up on the internet and there he was. Bought it for l.10 cents and sold it for 40.00 dollars. A Mycasa dinner set for 15.00. I sold for over a 150.00 all together. I had some old clothes i didn't want I sold them. Yes all of those Items sold. A few I bought didn't and I was stuck with them. After a while I started accumulating a bunch of junk. I ended up haveing to have a yard sale myself.
Now don't get me worng I made pretty good money doing this. I found a lot of great deals on items that i knew would sell. The ones I couldn't just took up a lot of space. It also took up a great deal of time, having to find boxes to fit the items, new papers, bubble wrap, tape, and then ship it. It just didn't seem worth it. I knew I need to find another way.
And Then.....
I found just the right thing for me. I live in a small town that just so happens to have a little outlet mall. I was shopping like I love to do. I went into a store that had womens underware on sale for a dollar a pair. I thought wow that might be something i could sell on ebay. So I bought a few sets in three's. I took them home and took a picture put them on ebay and wow they went right out the door. As soon as I put them on there they sold.
I have finallly found something that I could not only sell but was easy to ship and didn't take to much time. all I had to do is take a picture, write a description, and post it. I went to walmart bought the beige envelops and some tape.
I started very small I spent $30.00 a week and turned it into 100.00. That was a 70.00 profit minus some for the ebay fees, paypal fees, and the shipping material. I would take my profit and buy more product to sell. So on and so forth.
Womens underware who new. I tell people that they look at me like i am crazy. People buy panties and bra's online. I have to say I was a bit shocked myself. I bought the first few sets in my size and my friends size just in case they didn't sell.
Now my ebay business is up and running. Its growing more and more every day. The more money I have to invest the more money I will make. But I do things one step at a time. I am probably not going to get rich and be a millionare doing it. Its fun and even more fun when that money is all yours.
Its still growing and I am still learning.
