Here is what I suggest.
Find a few unwanted items around the house to start with. You can auction these off, to learn how eBay works.
Start off with a low asking price to encourage bids & run a full seven day auction.
Don't forget about it & check up on your auction while it's running to see how the bids are going & answer any questions. |

| Nice advice. You may want to purchase a few items first to be 100% certain how eBay works. Also, make sure you open a paypal account & get it verified - otherwise this will only cause delays later on. |

| The amount of times I've had to wait for a winning bidder to verify themselves with paypal before payment could be sent though is unbelivable. So, please get it sorted first. |

| Look around your house, make a list of thing you want to sell, research eBay to see how well those items are selling. Great way to start. |

| Another way to find merchandise to sell on ebay is by going to garage sales. I would also try looking on craigslist.com in the for sale section. People who sell on craigslist tend to sell items for a very low price so you can make a profit by selling it on ebay. |

Hello,
I agree with K700. First you may start selling the goods around like old mobile phone. Run the auction successfully. In parallel think of buying low priced items like ebooks and complete transactions promptly. This will earn you good positive feedbacks which are very important to start selling.
In the second phase, think of some good hot selling product and research the market, its prices and suppliers...you may consider dropshippers.
Good Luck!! |
