Get the Basics Done First

Starting an eBay business has got to be one of the most exiting things you can do with your life. Not only does it allow you to work from home. You also get lots more free time to do the things you want. Sounds appealing doesn't it? What you need to do first is getting basics out of the way.

Sell Stuff Lying Around The House First

You may or may not have done this already but you need to familiarize yourself with eBay first. How it works and the mechanics of the system. Only then can you make the important steps to making some serious money. Get used to listing your items, packaging them up ready for delivery and dealing with infamous customer service issues.

Let's Get Down To The Nitty Gritty!

Once you've become accustomed to how eBay works you now need to decide on "what to sell on eBay". Believe it or not, this isn't really that difficult and eBay will even help you with this.

EBay Pulse

Go along to eBay pulse to find out what the hottest products are in each individual category. This simple tool is so powerful it's actually underused in my experience. Really drill down into each category because we're not looking for the usual suspects here. We're looking for hot niche items with buyers with their credit cards at the ready.

Don't Follow The Sheep

Nearly everyone that wants to start their own eBay business goes for the most obvious and sexy products like consumer electronics. Now, even though I'm not discouraging you to sell these items, the marketplace is fierce and the chances of you getting a good wholesale price for this item is rare. There is another way though. A different way that most people haven't even thought of.

Buy Retail Sell Retail

There are very few people that use this technique and I'll probably get blasted in the forums for revealing this. Every so often, websites like Amazon want to shift stock that hasn't shifted as well as they thought it would and now offer these through "special offers". If you go to the main page you should see a link marked "special offers".

50 - 75% Off

These items have anything from 50 - 75% off the listed price. These are the exact same items we're going to buy and sell on eBay. Don't believe me, go ahead and take a look for yourself.

I've made a ton of money selling software like this. I don't know, for some reason the buying decision has already been made by the time they arrive at eBay and my stats show that they're only on the auction for a matter of seconds before they click the "buy" button. As you can appreciate, I can't really go into every single tactic I use in this article and to be fair 99% of people read and don't take action anyway. I think it's fear of the unknown?
