Holli Jo – yeah craft supplies sell well, *especially* Japanes items and anything related to scrapbooking. (I did my homework. )

“Bidding” is officially closed now and the winners have been announced (yep, more than one!), but feel free to continue sharing your ideas. Some of these will be discussed in an upcoming article about how to research what will sell for you on eBay. I might even do some of your research for you!

I too considered dropshippers, but felt I would be relying on a middleman. I would prefer to take a different route, but I am still considering it.

I’m also looking into drop shipping companies. However, it looks pretty complicated and possibly expensive to do. If anyone has any experience with it, I’d love to hear about it.

I’m brainstorming! Seems like craftspeople have turned their nose up at ebay these days. Seems like they have all moved to etsy. If you go to arts and crafts business on this site, Lisa has an amazing blog full of information.

I’m with you, those japanese books and fabric are super hot right now.

As a professional photographer, all my money goes to the lab so I think there is something to be said for selling the supplies and not the item.

I guess I’m the only one still thinking of ideas…(I really want that book, by the way!)

What about selling crafts on eBay? I haven’t researched it, nor do I have my craft made. But I do have ideas for what I’d like to make. But perhaps places like etsy.com is a better place to sell crafts…It’s worth looking into, though.

Or, perhaps craft supplies? I’m very into crafts right now, so my interest level is there. I wish I had access to Japanese fabrics and idea books – I’d bet those would sell. Other craft supplies, I’m not so sure.

Okay, still brainstorming ideas here. I was in a Bosnian grocery store yesterday and saw Kinder Surprise eggs. That started me thinking about how much I love them. It made me wonder if selling foreign specialty items would sell on eBay. Another one of my random ideas…
