I am ebay newbie and I wish to start selling things on ebay, any idea where can I start other than creating a new ebay account which I have done that. Please help. Thanks
well i think this forum section is actually for ebay's affiliate program... not selling on ebay section... to answer your question.... if you already have a new acct. start listing products that you own and no longer want/need to make some money.... OR.... start buying products and selling them for a profit. Not much else to it. you should do some research to see what products are selling, find out how much they cost you vs. how much you can sell them for, and how much is involved. might try dropshipping to find "hot products" but in my opinion, drop shipping isn't going to yield large enough profits to make it worth it when you factor in all the fees. Or, at least for me..

I can refer you to a guide that helped me to start up my business on eBay. http://www.the-wiggly-worm.com. I think it is all you need to get going.
Hey alvin; This may help. It's a bit dated, but still some solid info for getting started. Direct DL www.auctionnewbieguide.com/orderok35639335702093.html Code (markup):
buy before selling item. You have to build your feedback score. Buy some cheap item like ebook and get feedback score from seller.
If you want to start Ebay business 1st thing you should do is do research on products which are in demand and try to sale these products at the start by using different technique like free shipping, discount affiliate program etc.. Next thing is you should create paypal account, read terms and condition of Ebay and not to forget you should also learn about costs of selling on Ebay i.e. listing fee, a final value fee etc... You should also use feedback system which will not only increase your sales but will also help you to improve you selling technique.
Start selling smaller thigns like household items then start to selll bigger things and even turn it into a small eBay business if your starting to like it. Books and DVD's should do it first.
