I like to sell goods to eBay but I do not from where I can buy goods to sell it in eBay ? Can anyone tell me ?
I wanted to say that I will not buy goods those will sell to ebay. I wanted to know who can give me the goods to sell on ebay and after selling goods he/she/they will get price of that goods and I will receive my commission selling her/his/their goods in ebay!

It seems you want to be a "consignment seller" or "trading assistant"

As in you want to list other peoples items and then charge a commission off the sale.

This business model tends to fail but if you want to pursue it -put up flyers around your community, get the word out that you offer this service.

Churches, colleges, supermarket bulletin boards.

I write about stuff like this in my blog here

To be an official ebay "trading assistant" you need a feedback level of 100.

Auctiva.com offers free listing accounts that includes options to keep track of consignment sales.

Google "consignment sales" "trading assistant" and read my blogs as i write them, lol

But, it would be more profitable to sell your own product- check your local craigslist, buy and haggle for stuff you know will sell well and high- i averaged 1200 a month profits at one point buying only wiis and xboxes off craigslist for resale – usually with less that 15 auctions a month! my business has since expanded, but its a great start for seed money

Is it just me or has eBay slowed way down the last 2 weeks?

I sell on ebay full time mostly clothes, but a little of everything. It seemd my clothes have not sold hardly at all the last 2 weeks as to where before they were selling good, Anyone know why this is? Is it spring break, and when will it pick back up?

Thanks everyone,
Josh

Retail sales have not slowed since this so called "recession". Actually a lot of people are protesting eBay but it could be just a slow week. Depending on what type of clothes you sell, they may be out of season. And some colleges and schools have had spring breaks the past two and three weeks so that could be a good reason. Hang in there, they’ll pick up.
