Start an eBay Business
The average household has about $3500.00 worth of stuff that can be sold on eBay.
Keep these tips in mind when selling on eBay:
- Focus on the brand of the item you're selling if it's a good one.
- Bundle items to make them easier to sell like clothing.
- Post well-lit, crisp photos.
- Don't be afraid to start the bidding at a low price.
- Consider the cost of shipping. If it's too heavy you may want to post on craigslist
instead.
- Stick to items made in the last three years for electronics.
- Add as much detail to the description of items.
- People tend to do their bidding on Sundays for high-end items.
- Be honest.
After some experience you can offer eBay selling services for those who have stuff
to sell but aren't as tech savvy. Of course, it's always smart to start with friends
and family but passing flyers around the neighborhood can be great as well.
Typically an eBay seller charges 30% of the profits.
The books below are very good resources for starting an eBay business.
