NOT ANOTHER GET-RICH-QUICK GUIDE

This blog is not a get-rich-quick scheme.

I provide basic information and insight on selling on eBay. Tips are especially useful for the beginner. If you are looking to clear out your closets and supplement your income then these guidelines will be helpful. If you have a brick and mortar store then opening up your market to the world is a great idea.

Nevertheless, there are plenty of people who have made a lot of money on eBay. Using these tips you can even make enough to consider quitting your 'real' job. Then again, maybe you will be one of those people that becomes a titanium seller instantaneously. I hope you do. I just want to make it clear that you are earning extra money and that requires some work.

eBAY HOLIDAY PREPARATIONS

Ideally you want to be building your inventory all year. Any items that don't sell on auction should be relisted in your store. Starting in October, or at least November, you should focus on preparing for the holidays.
Order your shipping supplies and review what you are going to sell.

From Thanksgiving, until the last shipping date to arrive by the 25th, almost all your time will be spent on shipping and maintaining your listings.

However, if you get a late start do not worry. You can still actively list new items. Your volume should still be higher for most categories than the rest of the year.

What to Sell on eBay when you are first starting

What to sell on eBay:
When you are new to selling on eBay it is best to start with lower priced items that are easy to ship. If you have large items, collectbles, electronics, jewelry, or expensive items, it is better to hold off listing these items until you gain some experience in listing, selling, shipping, as well as building your feedback. You may want to wait to buy inventory until you gain some experience too.
One of the easiest items to sell is used clothing. The old adage is if you have not worn it in a year then you likely do not need it. You can clean out your closets to find some items to list.
We will be providing other posts on how to measure your clothing, how to describe it, categories to consider, shipping and other useful tips. Please check back.
