i have tried selling on ebay also and have had some success at selling cds and dvds. My biggest problem is how to aquire these cds and dvds and make a decent profit off of them. I have made a couple of dollars off of each one but the cd business is a volume business in which takes a lot of time. I have had good results also with mosquito (electronic) repellents I bought at big lots for 2.99 a piece and sold on ebay for 5.00 a piece making about 1.00 on shipping also.

I tried to list buy it now with free shipping but I found the ebay fees more than ate up any profit. I deliberately listed within the low to medium price on popular books – now I have a ton of Hallmark ornaments and no idea how to list them and not get killed with fees.

I would love to start selling on eBay, but…

I don’t know how to find things to sell.

Do people really buy stuff on there anymore?

How can I distinguish myself from every other seller on eBay?

What if I’m left with a room full of inventory and an empty bank account?

I’ve tried selling a few things here and there but like others, I wonder how to find the time and the inventory. I have a lot of gently-used baby clothes but I notice that new ones seem to sell better. And from the few I have sold, I don’t think I’ve made much profit after the fees Ebay charged plus shipping costs. I’m looking forward to reading your tips!

Hi Megan – I’ve tried selling on eBay several times before. A couple just to unload some spare household items, and more than I’d like to admit to try and make a living. BUT it has never worked for me, so I’m anxious to read your upcoming posts. I’ve tried buying things at discounts, from distributors, and using drop ship companies, only to find everyone else doing the same thing, and often for less than I had paid!

Tell me more!!

Hi Megan! Best of luck with this venture!
Ok, here’s my question:
I have a TON of little boy clothes in fabulous condition. How do I make money selling them?
