You want to think carefully about what you are selling. Don't sell anything that has any sentimental value, for instance, or anything that you think you might be able to get more money out of at a consignment store. Also, don't sell anything too large. After all, it might be difficult shipping your old couch, while your old postcard collection is a little lighter.
When you sell items that you already possess, you are not risking any of your own money on purchasing items in bulk or buying wholesale items.
Most people who learn how to sell on eBay appreciate the convenience of a small home scale. This can help you tremendously when it comes to shipping. Instead of hauling everything down to your local post office, you can weigh your package and print off shipping labels from the internet right there at your home. In addition, if you have a lot of parcels, you can even have UPS pick them up at your front door.
Once you have a few items that you want to sell, you will have to take photographs of them and list them in the appropriate category. Almost everyone who wants to learn how to sell on eBay wants to know if they should list their items in more than one category. In some cases, it does make sense. However, when it comes to clothing, it should be enough to list it in only one. If it is vintage clothing, placing the word "vintage" in the title will help it show up under the vintage category, too.
Although you can accept payment in the form of cashier's check, personal check, and money order, PayPal is the preferred payment of preference for most buyers so it is imperative that you set up a Pay Pal account. You can then transfer your money right into your bank account once you are paid.
When you learn how to start an eBay business in the beginning, you aren't trying to make big bucks - you are simply learning the system. Once you have received some positive feedback and have gotten the hang of it, you can move on to bigger items and start expanding your business.
The Most commonly asked question on eBay is 'what can I sell' when in fact the question that potential sellers should be asking is 'what do the buyers want to buy?'
This weekend I picked up a magazine and it had two full page ads in it, one was selling a miniature ornament of a Cinderella shoe, and another ad was selling imitation wedding rings that they said were original copies of the Royal Wedding ring... for $14.99.
What those full page ads in a national magazine cost I have no idea, but one thing is for sure; The companies that paid for those ads knew that their products would sell.
And so will you after following this five step guide.
Firstly I would like to say this, I have absolutely no interest in this particular product, this is in fact a product that I had never even heard of until five minutes ago and I stumbled upon it purely by chance.
Please sort out a category of articles for yourself that might be more suitable just for this particular test.
Now for important bit
In summary:
It is not the fault of eBay that some items in a category will sell better that others.
In this instance sunglasses do sell well, you just have to sell the ones that are in demand. Simple as that.
You cannot decide what people should buy, but if you can find out what people want (as we did in this case) then trust me you don't have to sell it, eBay will do that for you,
Good hunting, regards Max.
