Finding What To Sell On Ebay

Finding What To Sell On Ebay

To find out what sells well on eBay, log in to ebay and press the ‘buy’ tab. Choose the category you want to research e.g. silver jewellery, then on the lower left-hand side of the page click on ‘completed listings’. Then on the top right of the page go to ‘sort by’ and choose ‘price highest first’. You can then see which items had the most bids, which didn’t sell at all and which fetched the highest price! All this is invaluable research that will save you wasting a lot of time and money.

Where do you then find items to sell on eBay? Again, do your homework. Some items you may be able to get on eBay itself – just key in ‘wholesale silver jewellery’ or whatever your niche area is, into the search box and see what comes up. Sellers will list items in bulk that you can then sell individually. You can get items from car boot sales (such as books, maps, cd’s etc), auctions houses, product directories, local designers (check the local yellow pages or do a search on google. You can also use Dropshippers, but I wouldn’t recommend this to start with as it can be an unreliable method unless you have experience.

Ebay ID - why choose a good name for your ID

Make money on ebay, fast!
If you are brand new to ebay, here are some tips to help you get off to a good start:

Firstly, when you register on eBay you need to choose a name (eBay ID). Give this serious thought, don’t just key in something that is significant for you – why? Because if you want to be taken seriously by the buyers on eBay, your name should look professional and ideally relate to the kind of things you want to sell, and be memorable.

The same goes for the name of your eBay store when you open one, a little later. Your name and shop name could tie in together. E.g. If you are going to sell gems, your ID might be ‘gemster’ or ‘justgems’ and your shop might be called ‘gemsters gems’ or similar. Who would a buyer trust (and also remember) if they were torn between your gems and another ebayer’s gems, if your competitor was called ‘plutredop4245’ ? (Yes, I know that name makes no sense, and you’d be amazed how many ebay ID’s are like this).
