There are a few things that you really need to know before you go and throw yourself in at the deep end.What to Sell.First off, you need to know what it is you’re going to sell: what’s your speciality? You’ll do far better on eBay if you become a great source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in those products will come back to you again and again.

The trouble with making an income out of EBay is1. The competition is fierce2. Most of the good ideas have been exhausted3. You may not have the finances to buy in stockAbout 6 months ago my son decided to have a go at supplementing his pocket money by trying to make money on EBay. I have no idea how he managed it however he is now earning approx £200 per month with no hassle or risk, He simply used the small amount of brains he was blessed with, from his mother’s side no doubt.Finding the right productThis was the most difficult thing, for weeks he looked at what other people were selling on EBay. It became apparent that many of the Power Sellers are simply selling items listed on Amazon, making their profit by marking up...

| EBay's Squeezing Store Owners |
| 2007-12-16 04:30:00 |
In an effort to justify the price increases by 3% and taking the eBay stores selling fees from 7% to 10%, Bill Cobbs, in an open letter to eBay entrepreneurs, attempted to calm the outrage. He says eBay is "Resetting the Balance of the eBay Marketplace". This outraged eBay Store users, who are making a business from the online auction moving inventory with the "Buy Now" feature, since their margins are slipping away as their auctions costs are climbing.So while the increases may appear small many store owners are complaining it's going to drive some of them out of business, because on top of eBay fees you have store fees, picture storage fees, listing fees, promotional fees, and when it sells, they get hit with this new selli...

| Easy Money on Ebay? |
| 2007-12-11 13:47:00 |
By KL Bohn - Posted on: 2005-06-08 23:26:18 Ebay was only two years old when I discovered it. A friend I worked with was also starting to sell on Ebay at about the same time, and we exchanged ideas and experiences constantly. Since we were already working together on our Ebay ventures, we decided to combine our resources into one company and grow it while we were still both working our regular job. We found our niche selling technical books and manuals as our little company began to grow and prosper. Our co-workers at the company we worked at during the day came to consider us the "Ebay Experts". We were answering questions about online auctions on a daily basis, but one coworker had the same comment every day."Hey, show me how to mak...

| eBay Auction Home Business Tutorial: Start Low To Sell High! |
| 2007-12-10 22:26:00 |
I sell items on eBay and enjoy teaching others how to make money with eBay auctions, but I admit to doing my fair share of buying, too. Recently I found a few items I wanted to add to my collection, and even though I knew the items would go for several hundred dollars, I noticed the seller began the auction price at 99 cents. Is this a good idea? Turns out that it's an excellent idea. A recent study performed by the London Business School and two professors from Northwestern University proved that items that were posted with an opening price of one penny actually ended up selling at "significantly higher" prices than auctions for the same item...

| How eBay Took Over The World... |
| 2007-12-09 13:23:00 |
On September 4th 1995, San Jose resident Pierre Omidyar created the foundation to what would soon become one of the most prominent figures on the Internet. The site was originally intended to be an online marketplace where individuals could sell goods or services, though was to become so much more in the decade that was to follow. Omidyar’s creation was originally known as Auctionweb, and formed a small part of his personal site. The first item to be successfully sold was a broken laser pointer, which eventually sold for around $14 following a small bidding war. Astonished by the interest generated by this item, Omidyar realised that if he could sell a broken laser pointer, then it was quite possible he could sell anything.In 1996, Pierre Omidyar hired Jeff Skoll as the company...

| Why the 1 Cent Auction is Killing the eBay eBook Market |
| 2007-12-09 12:25:00 |
In this article we expose the myths that many eBay sellers believe. They believe they can actually make money from 1 cent eBay auctions – but they won’t think that after reading this article.*MYTH 1*Selling 1p eBooks are ideal for backend sales and website sales.Total utter rubbish! Do you honestly believe that people who pay 1p for an eBook will bother to read it? Maybe 5% will. But that means you have to sell 100 just to get 5 visitors to your website.Not only that, but buyers of 1p eBooks are freebie seekers and not willing to loosen the purse strings so to speak. If you’re selling an eBook for just £5 on your website, can you really imagine them whipping out the plastic?The m...

| Top Five Ways to Quickly Improve Your Descriptions When Selling on eBay |
| 2007-12-08 12:16:00 |
Here are the top five ways to enhance your descriptions to increase your sales on eBay. 1. Take good pictures – Since buyers cannot touch or feel the items you are selling on eBay, your pictures need to be of the best quality in order for buyers to feel confident of the quality of your items. Your pictures need to be focused and excess area needs to be cropped out before you upload your photo. If you ever look at your pictures and think, “That’s good enough”, they aren’t. The quality of your pictures directly relates to your quality as a seller. A good picture can be worth a thousand dollars, a bad picture will cost you dollars.2. Correct grammar and spelling – eBay buyers want to know that they ar...

| Can The Little Guy Still Make Money on eBay? |
| 2007-12-05 21:39:00 |
I get this question a lot and it has three answers: "Yes," "no" and "maybe." Let's see which one applies to you. There is no doubt that it is much harder for the individual operating out of their home to make money on eBay today than it was even a couple of years ago. When I started on eBay in 1999, eBay was a license to print money. A little guy (or gal) like your or me could sell almost anything and make money. As far as finding merchandise to sell you could source garage sales or buy surplus and overstocked products from hundreds of dealers. Today, however, many of those same dealers that use to sell to me, are now selling the same items on eBay at the same price they used to sell to me. There are stil...

| I Bootstrapped my Business with eBay Profits |
| 2007-12-05 21:30:00 |
Deep down, I had always wanted to start my own business – come up with a great idea and be at least modestly successful. I’d always envied other women who had done it. The trouble was I had no bright ideas -- until a few years ago. It’s funny how it came about -- not from hours of brainstorming, or from reading piles of books – but from my own practical experience. I had been a technical writer for 15 years, but when dot-com bubble burst, many of us tech writers fell into dire straits. I had made a great living doing part-time contracts from home. It allowed me to be with my kids after school. But then the work dried up and hourly rates were cut more than half. Even if you could find work, it didn...
