I would like to know if selling hand made stuff on eBay is profitable?

I have a ebay account for a while now and would like to start making some money with it. I sew so I was wondering if selling hand made items would be good and what items would sell more. I have tried selling perfumes it didn't work for me and since I am a crafty person then that's the way I should go. any ideas anyone thanks

Answer 1

It all depends on the hand made stuff you're making and if there is a market for it.

Check past or completed auctions to identify whether or not there is a demand on ebay for your products.

Hi – I sell on eBay. I profit about $3,500 a month. eBay has been my full time job for 4 years, and I have sold over 12,000 items. I also teach eBay classes.

I find items at second hand stores, garage sales, clearance sales, estate sales, and consignment stores to resell on eBay. Some of the items are used, some are new. You can start by selling items you already have, and learn the process and decide if eBay is for you.

Do you have a skill that's in demand? I know people who sell services like web design or graphic design. Other people sell handmade items like beaded earrings, customized baby items, hand crocheted blankets, or craft items. I've seen and bought some really cool handmade items from ebay sellers. There are many ways to earn a living on ebay, either part-time or full-time.

Please email me directly at [e-mail] if I can answer any specific questions.
