I'd like to make some hats and sell them on ebay or at local fairs in my community. How do I do this?

Question

I've seen similar hats like I want to make in stores and on the internet but can I change the pattern a lot so the hats I make are not identical to someone elses and then sell them? I don't want to do anything wrong.

Answer 1

Cafepress.com allows people to set up their own "stores" online. Or you can try to sell them on e-bay.Just make sure and have good quality photos of the hats so people can really see what they're buying. It would help if you photographed some of your better-looking friends wearing the hats.

Check your newspaper local news page or lifestyle section for listings of craft shows, community fairs, and church bazaars. They usually list these events well in advance and publish the cost for a vendor table and a deadline for submitting the payment.

Answer 2

Hi,

Interesting post. I started my eBay selling "adventure" about 4 years ago. I tried unsuccessfully on and off for about 2 years to sell products on eBay. There are so many factors that need to be right in order for people to bid.

I had this nagging feeling that it's a solid business model to sell on eBay, so I didn't give up. My wife was watching TV and saw an infomercial for a course to learn how to sell and be successful on eBay. She bought it for me for my birthday 2 years ago, and I'm EXTREMELY successful at selling on eBay on.

When I saw your question I looked to see if the same kit is still being sold, and I found it for FREE on the Internet! They're only asking $1.95 for shipping!!!!!

I highly recommend this course if you want to be successfull, and you certainly can't beat $1.95

Good Luck
