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.

The main criteria for selling on EBay is PRICE.
If you want to sell clothing, backpacks, stuff like that, you can buy from http://www.clothing4all.com and get the lowest price without having to buy any minimum quantity.

I sold my old clothes which I had only ever worn once or twice and they made me a small fortune but after they were gone I ran out of stuff to sell. Its not that easy if you wantr to be consistant. a lot of people sell fake designer clothes but that can be risky. Good luck !!!

Put a good picture in a frame and take a photo off it and advertise it on ebay as computer art and see if people will bid for it. If you want to know how to get a virtual art gallery join my jigsaw and art group on Yahoo groups.

Buy directly from wholesalers and sometimes manufacturers for the best profits. I know a few ebay powersellers in real life who use wholesaler directories like http://wholesale.50webs.org/ or http://dropship.tk .. it makes more sence to sign up to a directory like this to get access to thousands of manufacturers, wholesalers and dropshippers than spending centuries on google searching for suppliers :-)

did you hear about the girl that sold her virginity to get through collage - tried that but mine was a second hand virginity and nobody bid on it. I suggest something like concert tickets, buy them way in advance from other sites then sell them when all the tickets are sold out and they are highly in demand.
