Hi – I am an established seller on eBay. eBay has been my full time job for 4 years, and I have sold over 12,000 items.
I know several people who make goods to sell on eBay. One makes baby blankets, another makes beaded jewelry. If you have a skill like web design, graphic design, drawing or painting, you can sell those services.
You can write ebooks and sell them. (I sell HOW TO SELL ON EBAY ebooks that I have written.)
You can sell food products like home made jams and jelly, sauces, spice mixes. Also health and beauty /household products like bath salts, potpourri, candles, the list is endless. There are lots of places on the internet where you can get recipes for bath salts and potpourri and you make them, and sell them. (I know people who do this for craft shows and they sell the leftovers on eBay.)
I know a person who buys junk computers, takes them apart, and sells the parts. Another person has a print shop and sells personalized items like invitations and stationery. If you sew, you can make all kinds of things to sell - curtains, pillows, craft items, etc.
Look on eBay under specialty services and see what other people are selling, you might get some ideas.
Please email me directly and I can share more information with you.
Regards-

Some people have done very well selling eBooks on eBay, Write about something you have knowledge on and sell it! The great thing is that once you've done the hard work of writing and formatting it then you just need to provide copies for each buyer. Make sure you clearly copyright the work. Depending on your skills; if you are more of a hands-on practical person then why not make and sell clothes, pottery or artwork. Good luck!

Jewelry is always good.. Either that or don't make anything at all and set up an online store using wholesale sites that allow you to ship the products directly to your customers without even seeing it for yourself. That's the most cost effective way that I have seen.
