If you wish to make money then the beauty of using eBay is that you can start off very casually and work your way up in your own time. However, you are buying and selling products to people and need to be organized and honest in your dealings because they will give feedback on all your transactions and this rating grows with you. The one thing to remember is it essential on eBay to have a good rating or people will not deal with you and this will lose you money.

Before going into the various ways of money here is another big tip. Everything is visible on eBay, you can see how people are doing selling their products, the wording they used, their pricing, and essentially their whole sales technique is visible. Look at what is working; this is the first place to learn. There are a number of tools on eBay itself that will help you too. There are pages that will list only the popular eBay items so you can find what is selling. There is a section called eBay Pulse that will give you loads of essential information like what are the most popular search terms in each of the categories. It really pays to take time to learn about all the information that eBay is giving to you freely and use that to help you make your decisions on what is selling well.

Now the first place many people start making money on eBay is when they decide to clear things from the home. Selling unwanted or less used products that gradually our homes provides quite a bit of extra cash. By the time you have sold a number of items you have pretty much learned the whole eBay process, dealt with listing your item, running the auction and the postage and packing. The next stage is to be the buyer and experience the other side of the process. A tip here is to think of spelling mistakes when people list, quite often without realizing it an item will be put up for auction but because of a typo no one can find it when they are looking, this means that you will likely be able to buy this cheap and sell it on at a higher price.

The next stages involve using the information that eBay gives you and seeing if you can find a source of popular products to sell online. Look around at what price you can buy things for and see how much they have sold on eBay. Local businesses, warehouses both near and abroad are worth looking at. Quite often you will find a warehouse in Chine for example sells goods much lower than you can get them. The downsides are having to buy and keep stock and essential good research of your sources. You might however get away from ever worrying about stock if you can find a good dropshipper, they will send the product you sell straight to the customer.
