E-bay selling?

Question

What would be the best thing to sell on E-bay? just thinking about starting to sell and was woundering....

Answer 1

Sell products that people actually want.

Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.

eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace:

Items In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html

Hot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left.

eBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action.

Merchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html to view the current Merchandising Calendar.

Answer 2

The best advice I was given by a seller was to find what works best for you. What works for me might not work for you.

Take the things you have to sell. If ebay doesn't have a stock photo, photograph the items since people want to see the condition of the item they are bidding on. Set a fair starting bid and do a "Buy It Now" priice if you wish to.

The length of your auction is up to you. Most let them run 7 days.

Good luck.

Answer 3

the things that go best are hard to find items. and vehicle or plane parts. Weird i know but that's what makes the most money.
