Is Ebay still a good way to make Money on the internet?

Hi\n\nThe money is no longer to be made on eBay, but that doesn't mean you can't make money USING eBay.\n\nLet me expalin...\n\nYou sell an item for 99c. Big deal, you've made about 20-30c profit. You're not gonna get anywhere doing that, but, what if you could turn that customer who pays 99c into a lifelong customer who spends tens of dollars on your products and services every month.\n\nYou can find out more about these techniques using these articles http://www.auction-enterprise.com/articles.html\n\nYou can also grab a load of free eBay eBooks from here:\n\nhttp://www.auction-enterprise.com/free-ebay-ebooks.html\n\nThanks, James

It will be hard to sell DVDs because now we have netflix, and so far on ebay, Ive seen movies sell at like .99 cents. Noone buys VHS movies anymore, so I dont think you should make this your primary income. You can definitely make some EXTRA income by selling off stuff you just want to get rid of. Its not very difficult to set up an account with ebay. You can start basically today if you signup. Plus the buyer pays the shipping price so you dont really lose anything unless your item doesnt sell.\n\nI used to sell virtual items on ebay and made tons of profit. You might too.

The Web offers tremendous opportunities for those who know how to harness it. You hear of stories of people who earn thousands if not millions of dollars from doing business on Web. While there are many scams (same way in the traditional business world), there are various ways you can legitimately make money on the Web.\n\nHere are the main business models you can adopt:\n\n1. Sell products on the Web - Big boys like Amazon or Lillian Vernon online catalog or smaller businesses like BigKidsVideo.com or Candle4Less.com all sell products on the Web. \n\nYou can either sell: (a) through your own storefront through your own website or applications such as Yahoo Stores; or (b) sell through online auctions like eBay\n\n2. Information Delivery. Others such as About.com or PowerHomeBiz.com create content and monetize their content in a number of ways:\n\na. Advertising - whether by joining banner ad networks such as Tribal Fusion, BurstMedia or Fastclick and display the banners on their site; or through contextual advertising such as Google Adsense or Intellxt. Google Adsense is the HOTTEST program right now for online publishers.\n\nb. Affiliate Programs - you sell other people's products that your audience may be interested in; and you get a certain commission after the desired action was done (whether a sale, a lead, subscription to email newsletter, or however this is defined). As long as you have a website, this is one of the easiest way to make money on the Web\n\nc. Paid online content. Hoovers.com or WebmasterWorld.com Supporters forum all require paid subscription before accessing the information\n\nd. Content licensing and syndication. Some publishers such as the Associated Press get paid every time their content is published elsewhere \n\nI suggest you check out the following books:\n\n- 121 Internet Businesses You Can Start from Home: Plus a Beginners Guide to Starting a Business Online -- by Ron E.

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

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.

Not legal ones..... Just Kidding. Actually, I've been doing work through ebay for years now, and making quite alot of money at it. I asked my parents if I could sell some things on E-Bay, and they set it up for me, and I have made over $29,880.57 to date. I just ask around for people's junk that they don't want, or I buy it from them cheap, and then post and sell. If your parents dont want you to do that, then tell them you will share a part of what you make. Don't forget about shipping and handling fees (usually about 5$ an item). If this doesn't work out, I have several other LEGAL advices that you can follow. Email me back at kingofpythias@yahoo.com, I'm glad to help.

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.

Yes absolutly.  eBay has made it possible for people to sell their junk as well as just about anything else from the comfort of their own homes.  I think it has allowed a lot of people to make money that probably wouldnt normally have been able to.  I mean one item on eBay can be viewed by someone almost anywhere in the world and that gives the sellers more reach for a low cost.  eBay is great.  I LOVE it!!!

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 and get rich 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.

I sell alot on ebay. I've found that to be successful, you must have good photos, good descriptions, a good product, and good service. Even if it means you have to put out a little money up front before you start to make money. Also make sure  to use as many describing  or cross referencing words in the title as possible.

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

Sure if you go into business for yourself. Like doing independent contract work ie graphic design or something. Ebay isn’t a bad idea either you could take on other people’s stuff and take a cut of the profits, good luck!
