Yes, ebay will allow you to relist the item once, for free.

Just some suggestions.  Pick something that you know about or that you're willing to learn about.  For instance if you like video games, then you will know what's hot, what's about to come onto the market, etc.  These items alomst always are in demand on eBay.  Generally, when they are out there 'before' they hit the regular marketplace in volume, it drives the price up on eBay.  That's what you want and that's where you make the profit.

i am an ebay seller, i would recommend you start with the items that is of some value to you and is not needed much any more, then sell it on ebay.  this is a good way to start.  you can sell most any thing.  check the site and see that there not too many of the item listed that you are selling.  GOOD LUCK!

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

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.

Sell it on Ebay with the restriction that you are not going to ship this, the buyer has to pick it up.\nI've seen this done often on Ebay especially when someone is selling something heavy.  It pretty much will limit where your bids will come from but you may find someone who wants it bad enough willing to drive a ways to get it.\nMy brother bought a car on ebay and flew 1/2 across the country to pick it up.

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 gets you three ways in the pocket book. One for listing (wether it sells or not) the a final value fee. (when the item sells) and if you use paypal... they get you there too... So, if you want 100 dollars for an item, expect more like 80 since 20 of it is fees.  Yahoo is boring and slow.. no one usually goes on yahoo...  if you want to post and sell.. go to www.craigslist.org. there you can post, sell, and find all for free... no gimmicks, i have sold everything i have posted so far. From engines (used) to misc junk... good luck..\nSteve from portland oregon

There are a couple of ways to do this. First you can list the buy it now price for 1 lot. In your item description be very clear on what they are bidding on. If you have 10 lots put 10 total and in your description tell them what comes with a lot. The other way you can do it sell individually. I would not recommend this as if you are selling something for 1.00 ebay automatically charges no less that .35-.50 cents to list... then you have a end of auction fee... if you do them in lots and you sell them lets say for $5-$10 then you are only hit the one fee for each lot and not for each piece. So you still have the .35-.50 to list and your end of auction fee probably .30 . This is opposoed to selling them piece by piece and only making a few cents or sometimes you can even lose money!!!!

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.
