I am hoping to start selling goods on eBay as a way to make some extra cash, tips or advice?

December 6th, 2012 Leave a comment Go to comments

I am hoping to start an eBay seller account, I have a job that gives me a lot of free time and I recently sold some things through kijiji and made some good money fairly quickly. Now I would like to get into finding merchandise and selling it on ebay for a profit… I am not asking for everyone to tell me their business secrets they worked hard to learn but I would like some advice for starting off. Thank you!

Try not to sell something dozens of other people are selling, because you’ll either never make a sale, or you’ll have to lower prices so much that you only break even (or even lose money). If you’re selling multiple related items, offer combined shipping discounts. People will be more inclined to buy more than one thing if shipping is cheaper.

    Get on company email lists for items on sale or for a very low price then purchase and sell at a higher price on Ebay.

    Ebay is a great place to start your online business. First do some marketing research to find out about the goods that sell most or the ones which make you quick money. Then you can register yourself in eBay as a seller and create a paypal id and start selling your stuff.
