Most of us make pittance.  Power seller status is gained by gross sales, not profit. Very few ebay sellers are making the big money.  The get rich quick on ebay concept is a myth.  Selling on ebay is expensive, extremely time consuming, and stressful.  Some of the ebay buyers are just scary! I make minimum wage, sometimes a bit less, sometimes a bit more.  Why do I do it? Being your own boss is great & to me its worth it, for now.

I know a couple people making a decent 2nd income on e-bay one lady does a lot of yardsales and flea markets then resells on ebay another man I know buys wholesale and sell's new stuff on e-bay. they both do well. I do custom computer builds and repair on the side and have sold some of my old parts on ebay as well the trick to e-bay is be honest be fair and be profitable. lol You would also be able to be at home doing that as well..

i rarely do offers.. unless there's a reserve.\n\n:D\n\noffers mostly can be a joke and the seller doesn't have to accept the best...\n\nwhat i usually do is wait towards the near end of the auction and see where the price is currently and then make a wild guess or the educated guess  (both have the same risk for most since most sellers don't know what they got)  and i go to as close as the item is really worth or the retail (depending on how old the item is really)   \n\nit's all the matter of chances...\n\nmost times i just take their offer and do a buy it now...  :D

e-bay. Buy a product on e-bay, wait a week, sell it back on e-bay twice the amount. you're richer than you were when you first started.

Wow, is there such a thing as a book for ebay?\n\nI've been a member as a seller and a buyer on ebay for 10 years. You can just ask here or ask me.\n\nIs there something you wanted to know?

i think so if you can sell something people need at a price that is beneficial to both of you.. \n\n:) I know of people who bring in a lot of money weekly via ebay

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.

Most important thing to remember: 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 tougher, 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. And you will find that many sellers are not making it well on ebay \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\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.

Hello, I heard ppl are making money buying and reselling items and then having them shipped away to the new buyer. You can try ;)

Supply and Demand - If you can find a buyer, it could be worth thousands. Collectibles are only as good as the want of someone else if no one wants it it's not worth anything. Have it authenticated (by a true historian) and then put it on eBay and see what happens.

For the things unavailable in my area, yes.\n\nIf eBay sales can offer a better deal for something I can otherwise get locally, including shipping costs, I'll buy it online then, too.\n\nThe key is to do your shopping, and to be honest with yourself as to how badly you need something.

Ebay can be really good if you can find a product that sells well consistently and you can have a good selling price. One secret is a lot of people actually sell the product for almost cost and make money on shipping, on the products I sell I make at least $5 on shipping guaranteed.
