The answer to this question is… just
about anything.
My first
several sales on eBay were items I had lying around the house that I wanted to
get rid of. I had some old clothes, purses, and outdated electronics. I
recommend new seller to start off this way too! This way you are not investing
in inventory, and are getting rid of items you don’t want anyway. This way you
get accustomed to the process of selling before you start investing in
merchandise.
When you are ready to begin investing
in merchandise, here are my biggest tips:
Buy & sell
brand name items. They are the most searched for items and the quickest to sell
on eBay. If you buy them from the Salvation Army and other resale shops, you
can often find great deals that will give you a high profit margin.
Shop at outlet
malls ,clearanced items, or any clearance rack. Remember that just because it is
on clearance doesn’t mean it is always a good deal.
My biggest
recommendation as you begin selling is to sell what you know. This way you know
you’ll be able to answer any questions a potential buyer may have about the
item, and you will also know price points.
Knowing and
understanding the fees associated with selling on eBay is important and
necessary. The margin between the price you pay and the price you can sell the
item for must cover the fees while leaving you with a profit.
