What Sort of Items do you Sell on eBay?

Will selling used products make money on eBay?

If you're starting out as a seller on eBay, you may be wondering which products sell well, and what products you should start with.

If you haven't been selling on eBay before the best advice is to start small and work your way up. Selling used goods, such as antiques, collectibles, books and vintage items is probably the most popular way to start. The market for these types of goods has always been steady, and it's a very good way of 'cutting your teeth'.

The smaller end of the market has always been a difficult one for the larger, more commercial companies, so you should find this much easier. If you have some prior knowledge of art, antiques, collectibles or rare books so much the better, so try and pick something you know.

Most people can find these items to resell in charity shops, boot fairs, thrift shops and markets etc, and there are normally many in each town or city. When hunting for these 'bargains' you must bear in mind the potential postal costs involved, plus the likeyhood of damage in transit (so nothing too heavy or fragile!).

Yes, selling used goods on eBay can make you money, if you do it properly.

If you want to find out how to do it properly, starting at the beginning and working your way up, then you could do a lot worse than look at Amanda O'Brien's book '£2,500 a week eBay PowerSellers Secrets'. This book - yes this is actually a proper book - will take you through everything you will ever need to know. From beginning to end it leaves nothing out, and updates are emailed regularly.
