Why doesn't anything I put on Ebay ever sell?

Yes. I won't buy without a pic. It is actually fairly easy to put on, as long as you have a digital camera. Ebay will walk you through the steps of it.

Just go to yahoo auctions and sell it eBay style. A few years ago I used to sell through them all the time, but lately they were totally overrun by eBay. So I recommend eBay.

Posting an item to sell on Ebay is pretty simple.  They pretty  much walk you through the process.  When you get to their website, just click "sell" and it's pretty much fill-in-the-blanks from there.  But before you post your item, first think about what you want to say in your description, find out how much you are going to charge for shipping, etc.  Posting a picture of the item you are selling makes a big difference.  I know for myself, I usually don't even bother clicking an item that does not have a picture.  The picture of the item is the first thing that people notice.  Also, people will want to actually see what they are going to be paying for. There are some pretty inexpensive digital cameras nowdays.  If you are going to start selling on Ebay, really consider investing in a digital camera.  Do not pay for any selling-strategy gimmicks.  There are a lot of free resources on how to sell on Ebay.  Just search the web, or go to your local library and see if they have books.

Maybe try a classified ad in the local newspaper.  \n\nYou could also list it regionally on ebay, with a reserve price.  By listing regionally, the buyer has an opportunity to eliminate the shipping costs.  That way ALL the funds come to you.\n\nThe only draw back about a reserve price is, if it isn't met, your item is still not sold, you make no money and you are still responsible to pay the fees associated with listing it.\n\nJust check to see what they have been selling for. Make sure you have a realistic idea of its market value.

The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- Sell products that people actually want.\n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.\n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nAs for items to sell, you can:\n\n1. Buy bulk liquidation items such as those at Liquidation.com. The capitalization may be big, but the idea is to sell the items individually and profit from it.\n\n2. Find manufacturers of items you want to sell and buy discounted items from them\n\n3. Make deals with retailers in your area, and offer to buy their unwanted items for deep discounts. jayandmarie - the most successful ebay sellers - made deals with music stores where they will buy the entire inventory in the discounted bins, and then sold the items on ebay for 1-cent starting bid.\n\n4. Look for possible partners on the Web, preferably outside of the US. Import items from them and sell them on ebay. There's huge profits to gain from this approach.\n\n5. Check out deals from outlet stores. Focus on brand names, which you will find to be easier to sell.

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\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

It depends on what you are selling.  If you are trying to sell on ebay, you could very well get some things from flea markets and buy some things wholesale.  You just have to make sure you are getting a really good deal, since most ebayers are looking for great deals too.\n\nYou will also need to be careful with non-paying bidders on ebay etc.\n\nGood Luck!!  Ebay can be profitable.

Hi,\n\nInteresting post.  I started my eBay selling "adventure" about 4 years ago.  I tried unsuccessfully on and off for about 2 years to  sell products on eBay.  There are so many factors that need to be right in order for people to bid.  \n\nI had this nagging feeling that it's a solid business model to sell on eBay, so I didn't give up. My wife was watching TV and saw an infomercial for a course to learn how to sell and be successful on eBay. She bought it for me for my birthday 2 years ago, and I'm EXTREMELY successful at selling on eBay on.\n\nWhen I saw your question I looked to see if the same kit is still being sold, and I found it for FREE on the Internet!  They're only asking $1.95 for shipping!!!!!  \n\nhttp://www.alllsite.info/sell-on-ebay.php\n\nI highly recommend this course if you want to be successfull, and you certainly can't beat $1.95\n\nGood Luck

Trying to get through all the information on eBay can be a challenge especially if you don't have that much extra time. \n\nFirst thing I would do is search for "like items" and see what other people have sold theirs for. If something you want to sell is only selling for $5.00 or so and you were expecting $10.00, now might be the right time to post your auction.\n\nBut there is a great alternative to YOU selling on ebay.  Using a drop-shop where they take your item and sell it for you!  They take the pictures--writing the description and shipping it out. They charge a commission of course, but sometimes it's worth it just to have a sale be hassle free!\n\nThe link below is to their main web site and you can click on whatever state you live in to see if there is a store near you.\n\nThere is also people on eBay (TRADING PARTNERS) who will sell for you too--you can find them by zip code.\n\nThere's also TURBO LISTER which is free software that you can download into your computer.  It's so you can get your auctions ready to post on eBay off line and then just upload them when you're ready to post. \n\nSomeone mentioned in an answer a few above me what happens if you don't sell something. It's true that you can list it again within a time frame (check with eBay for exact data) and if the item sells the 2nd time you don't have to pay for the ad again.\n\nWhat is correct is:\nIf you DON'T SELL the item the 2nd  time around, you pay for that ad too.
