I would recommend starting with something you enjoy, find a wholesale supplier or make the goods/services yourself, and setup a store with eBay.  This is really quick and easy (AKA: cheap) to start.  If you don't know exactly what you want to do it is a good way to see how it will work without a huge investment.  If you are successful in that marketplace you can take it to the next level and expand into a more traditional business model with less risk!  \n\nTry playing around with writing a business plan and see what your risk and financial tolerance is.  The link below is a good tool for planning a new eBay business, I would recommend you check this out first!

The first rule in eBay: 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\nFor managing ebay listings, I use Timbercreek's Sold! http://www.timbercreeksoftware.com/... - it can create invoices, schedule your listings, manage multiple auctions, manage customers, track payments receive, etc.\n\nI suggest you read the articles on Success with Auctions http://www.powerhomebiz.com/internet/auctions.htm\n\nBuying 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\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.

1. Get a free blog/website and apply to Google Adsense = both are free. \n2. Get a free blog/website and apply to affiliate programs\n\nSelling on eBay is not an option for you because it has listing fees and final value fees when your item sells - so if you want 0 expenditures, ebay is not for you.\n\nThe only way you can grow your business if you do not wish to spend anything is to do everything yourself and creativity in finding ways to do things without paying for it.

You have to be old enough (18 I think), and then set-up an account. Make sure you have pictures of the things you want to sell. Have good explanations of the quality and what kind of shape the item is in. Then set a reasonably good starting bid, then hope for buyers!

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\nI suggest you read the articles on Success with Auctions http://www.powerhomebiz.com/internet/auctions.htm

I have my own eBay business.    The first thing I would do is buy some inexpensive things on eBay, just to get some positive feedback.  The first thing I bought was a VHS tape for $.99.  The trick to being successful is to pick a category that doesn't have that many sellers, and is something that people want.  If you pick a category that comes up with 500,000 items up for auction, people just aren't going to browse through that category to see what everyone has.  Even when you refine your search on a category that big it usually comes up with 30,000...still too many for browsing.  I always ship USPS Priority Mail because there is a flat rate box (12x14x3) that is one price, no matter how much it weighs....so if you can fit it in that box it's only one price. The Post Office will also come and pick your shipment up for free with Priority Mail, so there's no going to the Post Office and customers get their product in 2-3 days.  (I've found that people don't want to wait for their stuff longer than 3 days.)  I don't want to tell you what I'm selling because I don't want the category to get overloaded with sellers.  But I do well, I am able to support myself, no problem.  I actually started out with only $500.  When you put your product up for auction you have a choice of a 7 day or a 10 day auction.  I always do the 10 day auction starting it on a Friday.  That way you have 2 weekends for people to look at your stuff.  Some sellers don't accept PayPal as a method of payment because you have to give a percentage of your profit of a sale to them if it is used by your buyer.  I personally won't buy from people that don't take PayPal because you have protection against a seller that is trying to rip you off.  I have only had good experiences with my customers and  with PayPal, and I have a 100% positive feedback rate.  If you have any more questions you can email me at:\n\nebayenigma@luv2kre8it.com
