Make money with ebay

Everybody knows about eBay.. well almost everybody. Some people are using eBay to make money and some are using eBay to shop for the best deals. What your here for, is to find out how you can make money with eBay, selling to those looking to buy the best deals.

You can get an eBay account for free to start selling. Or you can open up shop for a monthly price. I think this option is more for the people who have a steady flow of merchandise and buyers. You don't want to be paying a monthly fee for something you don't have yet. If your just getting started the free account works just as well.

Next you will need to find merchandise or products. This can sometimes be a frustrating task, I know I've been there. But I will give you a few ideas to help you get started. There are many places you can get merchandise. Here are places I find mine:

1. Yard Sales, you can always find things to resale at local yard sales. People are selling items for very cheap because they just want to get rid of it. This is a good place to start, you can find things in good to perfect shape, or if you know how to fix things you might find something to fix and sell.

2. Goodwill, the same things apply here. You can also visit this site to find things to resale http://shopgoodwill.com/ . They have great items on the site. This is an auction site and you can find great things for cheap that you can resale on eBay.

3. craigslist, click the link and find you state and city. You will find people selling there stuff for cheap in your area. They should tell you the condition and/or show you a picture of the item. You can find almost anything on the site. You can also use craigslist to make money as well. If you find good deals on eBay or elsewhere you can sell to craigslist.

4. Online Deals. I like using this method pretty well. A lot of people think that the best deals are on eBay. That's where this method comes in handy for you. What you do is search for deals that are going on at online stores at places like: walmart, target, best buy, overstock, amazon etc. A lot of the time they are running deals that are cheaper than what they are selling for on eBay. So when you find deals you need to go to eBay and do a search of that item to see what they are selling for. You can use the advanced search option to search past actions to see the final bidding or selling price for a better idea. Then when you see that the deal at whatever store is lower than the price on eBay and that it is selling, you buy some and list it on eBay and make profit. One place you can find tons of deals at once is http://slickdeals.net/ . When you get there just hover your mouse over the forum button in the top section then click on the Hot Deals button. There you will find tons of deals. You should have no problem finding something to sell on eBay.
You could also use this method at the physical stores themselves. The hard part is that you can't just go to eBay's website and do a search on the item that you are looking into buying. But you think that it will sell for more, by all means buy it or buy some and sell it.

5. CafePress over to the right there is a post about CafePress with more details. But basically you can create product and sell them on site or on eBay. You choose!

6. Drop shipping, this is a good way to start out if you don't have room to store merchandise.
Drop shipping is a way for you to get hooked up with wholesalers, list items you want to sell before you pay for them, sell them and when they sell you pay the company the wholesale price and you keep the profit. And when the product sales, you give the company the address of the buyer and they ship it for you. It's that simple. You can do this with doba http://dropshiphq.net/ . They give you a 7 day free trial and access to 1,000,000 product for drop shipping. There is a monthly fee, but you could find that it is worth it.


That's it for now! I will add as more Ideas come. Good Luck!
