How to know what to sell on Ebay

Discussion in 'eBay' started by jmbinfo, Jan 26, 2011.

    I've tried to make money on Ebay and it is usually hit or miss for me. I usually end up selling my own belongings instead of using it as a real money generation piece ( i have better ways to make money online anyway ) but I stumbled on Hot Item Finder and so far it is telling me pretty accurately what I need to be looking for OFFLINE to sell ONLINE. Like, you can do a search for shoes and it shows you the prices people are getting and then I can go to the outlet mall and look for those shoes. Now, I'm not really that into doing that much work but I can see the potential.

    Let me know what your thoughts are and I'd love to find out if anyone else is using this product.

    Why not just use eBay Pulse? It's simple and free...
    Side Note: Though I use Pulse, I find niche items to be the best.

    terapeak is the best research sites, although you have to pay but it is very worthwhile.

    eBay is the best site to buy or sell anythings you can want. This is online marketing. And it is also safety to buy anythings.

    Its hard to make money on eBay. Their incredibly high fees and insistence of using Paypal makes the job hardly worth it when they cost you 17% of the gross take. eBay is full of Paypal scammers and non payers. Here is some eBay advice: http://real-deal-blog.com/category/ebay-information/

    eBay is top dog. It's bigger than all of the other selling sites combined.
    We can't get around that and eBay knows it. That's why the fees are the way they are.... and the scammers.
    eBay is what all giants are: good, bad and ugly.

    You have to sell something that you have access to the things that people do not buy are things that they can get for cheap. It is all about what kind of deal the selling can get. So go for anything that you can offer and somebody else can not.

    eBay Pulse or pay extra for the delux version.

    Best to sell things you know about AND things that offer you a decent profit margin.

    Don't just rely on ebay and amazon, the fees eat into your profits. Get a website and use ebay and amazon to help drive traffic towards it.

    Good luck!
