What to Sell on eBay


 
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 I had some old clothes, purses, and outdated electronics.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.
