Im looking to start an Ebay business but .................

Question

am having a hard time deciding what to sell. Any ideas? I am in the Boston area.

Answer 1

Ebay has changed to the neg dramtaically. They created a feedback monopoly where the buyer can blackmail you with neg feedback and u cant do the same even if hes a fraudster. Secondly, and most importantly, they require you to accept paypal payment and paypal has been a vicious monster in stealing users hard earned money such as freezing it for 180 days for "security reasons" or receiving a payment from a stolen credit card adn holding you liable for the loss adn so on. So i would carefully think about it if you plan on doing alto of buisness on there. Checkout paypalsucks.com for more info.

Answer 2

I started off selling a few articles of clothing that were like new or new without tags to get some extra money. Next, i started looking in the sale racks at stores like Ann Taylor Loft and Hollister where I was able to find things for under $4 and resell them for over $20! Once I had a foundation I started buying lots from the wholesale section on eBay, splitting them up and reselling them. It was a really easy process and provided me with lots of extra cash!

Answer 3

Have a read of some of the articles at http://www.ClickDigitalProducts.com/arti...  they might help you to get started selling items on eBay.

Answer 4

as long as it's something you can get cheap then sell for more then it doesn't matter so much what it is, as long as it's easy to post. And watch out for ebay's high seller fees, they can be anything up to %10 of the sale price.

Answer 5

anything sells. try going to yardsales and outlet type stores for cheap finds. biglots has some namebrand stuff that you can resell for more. just look around and see what there is more of available to you in your area or just sell whatever you can find lol you dont have to stick to just 1 type of thing to sell on ebay.

oh...and actually i would do amazon instead but ~shrug~ if your eally wanna do ebay
