I think it is very possible.  My business does both.  The key is finding a nitche market.  We are in the wedding business so that is always a large market.  What specifically are you looking to sell?  Product or service?

ebay is great for wholesale and lot items\noverstock.com is cheap, there might be wholesale, but I would go w/ebay first, accessories like purses can usually be found in lots

Check out the operations and style of Ebay and any other sites that have proven successful. They have done ALL the research already. Use the KISS formula: Keep It Simple Stupid!\nGood luck.

good idea but you need to find out if you can find customers for them.\n\nI guess the easiest way is to plan a few things first - what designs are likely to be popular, how much you are going to charge, which areas are you going to sell (locally, nationally or world-wide), how you are going to distribute your products, what about after sales service, etc.\n\nOnce you are through with the above, take a few good photographs, create a site on Yahoo Shopping, and go for it.\n\nBest of luck.

If you don't want a website or an e-store, perhaps you should look in to blogging.  I am listing a blog that I came across, She just writes about her life, but she makes money by selling her book (perhaps you can sell shirts or ebooks) and with Google as well. You can have a blog for free with blogspot.  Also check out the other sites for inspirational stories about others that have started all different types of businesses on and off line. Check out the cafepress site, you can have a link so that anyone reading your blog can buy a t-shirt from you.  it's free to set up and they print the shirt and mail it and you get a percentage of the final price that you set.\n\nBest of luck to you

Hi i am a member of Ebay since 2000 and i can tell you that if you are intelligent, hard-working, patient and consistent with and original plan or idea, then you can certainly make a fortune on Ebay.\n\nBut the real problem is that most of us lack in some of the above mentioned qualities. Like any other business this Ebay business takes time to gather momentum since you have to first build your image as a reliable and responsible seller and notch up good ratings.\n\nIf you wish to make a fortune on Ebay just follow my simple steps:-\n\n\n1. Get a small but a very unique and lovely product to sell from the local manufacturers. Remember your this choice will determine the amount of fortune you make. Ensure that the product is the best in quality and your first time customers just love it and tell it to other buyers.\n\n\n2. Now when you list your product for sale just ensure that you include a high resolution picture of your product from atleast 2 or 3 angles so that the prospective buyer knows what he/she is buying and make up his mind more accurately. Also describe the product you are selling in great detail and mention all of its possible features and uses.\n\n\n3. Be very careful that you clearly mention accurate Handling and Delivery charges in your payment terms and conditions and clearly enumerate the ways of payments permitted by you and also the warranties and return methods if available.\n\n\n4. Now clearly include Your decent profit percentage in the cost of the items which you want to sell. Remember it is this profit which will pay for all your expenses and which will keep you up and going in times of tough competition.\n\n\n5. Ensure that you include some good sounding personal notes with all the items you send to the buyers. Take care of the packing standards. Offer your customers speedy problem resolution so that they are not dissatisfied and do not give you negative ratings as this may cause much damage to your image as a seller. Maintain regular contact with your old buyers and offer them your new products on regular basis.\n\n\n6. Generally it is seen that if you have an offline sales channel, then ebay can complement your sales very effectively and can result in generous revenues from the online sales channel. Just keep the postage and handling costs in check and just document your offerings in very clear terms.\n\nIf you follow all these steps and try to be innovative, creative and caring then you can certainly make a fortune on ebay but with some patience and not overnight as many people may suggest.\n\nTake Care.\nBye.

Think about a booth in a local flea market, or swap meet.  I have seen guys who have set up a little retail business selling new, custom built computers.  The overhead is cheap. Also, you could keep your inventory in your car and sell to your techno geek friends at coffee houses, etc.  I know a guy who literally had a "satchel full of blues," Cd's that he had left over after his music store failed.  He would sell them to his friends at restaurants and coffee houses.

I do not have specific experience in this area. But you might start by seeing what others are doing, e.g., wordsru.com. Why not send them something and spend a few bucks seeing how they do what they do, and how much they get paid for it? Another approach would be to do some work for an outfit like that (I'm sure you can do this from your home).\n\nBest of success.

I've got a friend who makes and sells custom jewelry on eBay. She specializes in earrings, necklaces and bracelets. She's pretty much eliminated half the population (men) from even visiting her site. If a person wanted to see what kinds of earrings are available on eBay and did a general search, they'd be able to look at 101,000  + earrings just under the major category of Jewelry & Watches. Plus another few thousand earrings under the sub-categories of hand made, artisan, etc. As the seller, my friend is facing some uphill battles because not many people have the time to look through 101,000 + listings. Sure, you could list an item in multiple categories to increase your sales chances, but with insertion fees, final value fees, gallery fees, etc. the seller might spend more to list than the winning bid brings in.\n\nSame problem with NWT items. Handbags, clothing, etc. are gender specific. And in many cases the bidder would like to see the item in person, touch it, hold it up to a specific article of clothing or accessory to see if it matches. Add to that the shipping costs and optional insurance fees most sellers tack on and bidders might be more likely to visit a local store unless they  get a really, really good deal.\n\nMy friend also tried listing Sunday to Sunday, weekends only, middle of the week, Buy It Now, Best Offer, ending her auctions after midnight Pacific time so west coast buyers had more time to look.  You name it, she's tried it.  The only thing she's learned with absolute certainty is there's no guarantees an item will sell. You can have an exquisite, one of a kind  "whatchamacallit" listed on eBay, but if nobody's interested, or if nobody finds it.....\n\nplrr

Buying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nTo get products, I import them from other countries. A partner of mine sells high-end bike parts on eBay imported from Taiwan and other Asian countries -- and she does extremely well. I import pearls from the Philippines, where you can get freshwater pearls for only $0.20 wholesale price or even less. You can make HUGE markups through this approach (e.g. get a real freshwater pearl necklace for $0.20 and sell it for starting price of $36)
