Answer 1

Go to "my" eBay.....go to start selling....there, it will walk you though the process......its easy. You need to take pictures with your digital camera and upload them onto the items you want to sell..

Good Luck to you......

Answer 2

If you look at it as a business, and take it seriously, there's a lot of money to be made on ebay.

First, open a few accounts with dropshippers.
Most only ask you to register with your name & address, and it's free...there are lots of scammers asking for a fat fee to start buying wholesale, but i believe that the biggest investment in a new home business should be time.

Start looking at Megagoods.com, http://PopsGifts.com, Netdropshipper.com and a few others who will come up in a Yahoo for "wholesale dropshippers".

You list a few of the items that interest you (if your passion is more toward car stereo, then start there...if it's iPods, then that's a good start) on eBay, and copy a picture from each item you want to post and upload it to the ebay listing.

*You'll be working from 2 browser windows...One is open to the dropshipper's listings, and the other is for posting the listed item to ebay...You'll get the hang of it.
Create a folder in MyDocuments for the images of your product line, and a folder in Favorites for your sources...Save the pages for each product you promote...this will come in handy when you get a buyer.

Pay attention to shipping charges and restrictions: Some dropshippers won't ship internationally, and others ship only thru USPS (cheaper, and slower).

Ebay will charge you a small posting fee, whether your item sells or not...so remamber to add this charge to your markup.
Don't be greedy...choose a solid profit margin and try to stick to it...Adding a flat 25% to each item, or stick to the mid-priced products and add a $20 markup to cover fees and profit.

You've got lots of competition, and if you offer a good deal you'll sell more products than if you try to get rich every week.

There's also a site called iOffer.com that allows you to post items for sale for free, has lots of traffic, and only charges a small fee if you sell the items.

Once the sale is made, the buyer pays you thru Paypal (safest for both parties, and easiest for newbies), and you then order the product from your source and have it shipped to the buyer...the money left over in your Paypal is profit.
