To ebayers: How long would it take me to start making about $1000-$2000 a month selling on ebay?

Answer 1

no

Answer 2

Do you even have stuff to sell? It depends. Have you never used eBay before? Idk.

Answer 3

well, it will take you a long time. that is depending on what you are selling. I am a seller on ebay, and I am not making close to that much, and I sell high end stuff. But it is possible, so look around and find out what people want and then go ahead and try and get it cheap and resell.

Answer 4

Ebay is a very very tough market. Look at amazon.com or you can make a lot more with a yahoo store if you know what you're doing.

Answer 5

It is quite possible to make a decent income off eBay, but you have to know what you're doing. Your aspirations are commendable, but, I'm not sure if they are realistic. You would have to have either a pretty unique product or a very popular product at highly competetive pricing. There are no quick and easy shortcuts, or everyone would be making a fortune on eBay. But it is easy to get started.

Ebay offers a rather complete Seller’s Tutorial that explains how to get started, what it costs, and the mechanics of using the site. You can find it here:

Determining what to sell is much more complicated than merely listing an item. You need to (1) chose a product that is in demand, (2) know your product extremely well, (3) have a source to purchase that product at a very good price, (4) know the marketplace for your product, (5) know where you can fit into that market, and (6) be able to sell your product at a competitive price on eBay, yet (7) still assure yourself of an adequate profit for your effort.

It's not easy to get started, as you can see, but if you get all the pieces to fit properly, it can be very lucrative.

Good luck. I hope you meet your goals!!
