Your first stop should be eBay's Guide to Seller Services http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/services.html

eBay's Seller Central has all the resources you need to learn about the basics of selling on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/index.html

The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- 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.

People will buy anything on ebay. If you have stuff around the house then dump it. That is starting capitol for garage sale hunting for the "great find," which can net you some more cash.

IMHO, though, do not be like so many ebay sellers who rape you for shipping. Charge what the shipping cost, and if you tack on $1 more for your handling charge that is cool. Just don't charge $18.00 to ship something which will cost $4.95 to ship. People get turned off by that and will not buy stuff from you. Always give accurate descriptions and try to ship the same day or next after you receive payment. If you need more advice or help about ebaying you can contact me.

Ebay has become a expensive place to sell things. Make sure you check out the percentages taken on all items sold (Paypal takes a cut, ebay, postage etc...) I love ebay, but use it to shop for bargains
