How do i buy and sell on ebay?

January 15th, 2013 2 comments

Hi,
I have recently become interested in buying and selling on eBay, is there specific items that buy and sell and make a profit? I have sold a few items this week and posted them on monday, one was via 1st class and the other was via 2nd class, i still havent been given any feedback. Please help i am a new ebayer.

Mant thanks.

Sell anything you don’t need.
I myself sell like trading cards and all that stuff.

Keep in mind how big the item is for shipping.

But, if looking for just selling stuff around the house an ipod touch is perfect!
Those sell super fast

Since pretty much everyone knows that an ipod touch is sold for $200 used at $150-170
You would lose money(since you have to put it down as used), but if you have your own phone (especially an iPhone) it would be nice to just sell that for around 160 (include cord ALWAYS)

If you are actually looking to make profit buy stuff that people want but no-one really knows the price.
For example take trading cards. Pokemon like cards you won’t get gobs of money but are easy to get from a friend.

Baseball cards are where the money is really at when you where a kid you probably had some.

but now baseball cards aren’t bought as much, like they aren’t really much of a trend. (Although kids may not be buying them extreme collectors will buy)
That is your opportunity to sell yours but before you sell them look the card(s) up online some can get in $1000!
Hope this Helped!

Whats the best way to sell vintage comics? I tried selling some on ebay, they all sold, but way below worth?

There just isn’t enough exposure on ebay. There’s several other comic specific bidding software/sites, but they all cost money and I don’t know which one is worth the money.

Well ebay is usually a defining point for price ranges. Unfortunately all sales are slow now, and prices are low. You could try a local sale..ad in the paper, Craigslist, etc. But I really don’t think you’d do much better.

I have better luck with comics, trading cards, etc. when I do a "lot" and sell them that way on ebay.

Got any tips for selling on ebay?

I am trying to get rid of some old trading cards I have. I just want to know some tips about how the whole process works so I can make a good first sale.

well first make sure you have a paypal account its free to set up and only accept payments via paypal.I would also do a search on e-bay for similar products so that you know what kind of a price you can ask. If you set it to high you may not get any bids.Make sure you also type down the details of the product"what it is" the "condition" Etc…Also take very good pictures of what your selling people like to see what they are buying make sure you take pictures of any defects and mention them in your listing this will cover your butt if someone complains that the product is damaged.And make sure you state your warranty terms in bold letters on the listing "sold as is" "All sales final" Etc…I also have noticed that I seem to sell things closer to the weekends when people get paid so if you list it on Sunday for 7 days be patient if you don’t get any bites at first. Good Luck to you.
