    I am sure there is a thread on this, I did a search but I had no luck.

    But I just want to know from people who actually do it, how do you guys create a profit off ebay. I've gone to garage sales, thrift stores and all that stuff, and I've only found items that will sell for like a $1 profit.

    like whats the best way to make a decent stream of income off ebay, I'm talking like $100 or so every one or two weeks

    thanks for all the input!

    I made $xxx and nearly $xxxx off eBay when I cleaned all the junk out of my house, I know of people who order cheap stuff from Asia and sell it for profit on eBay and they make a good living off that.

    The is nothing partically secret or hidden about ebay now. Buy low and sell high.

    So if you can find something that you can source cheap, that there isn't much compertition for you can make a nice profit.

    But there are a couple of things you can do.

    I know someone who made a good profit by making and selling wooden tombolas. He could buy the wood and put them together for next to nothing. Then he put them on ebay, their was next to no compertition. Then he used a very little bit of targetted PPC sometime to make sure there was more than 1 bidder. You always want at least 2 bidders.
