Your Questions About Ideas To Make Money On Ebay

Susan asks…

What products can I sell to the Italian market on ebay, that can make me a bit of a profit?

Hi everyone!

I’m orginally from Australia, but have moved to the South of Italy to live with my dad. As there is a high unemployment rate, finding a job here is almost impossible and I want to have my own income. I have had to think outside the square box, and thought about the idea of making money on ebay.

My question is what products could I sell to the Italian (maybe things I could buy in Australia or the Uk) market that could earn me a good income? Appreciate any suggestions or ideas.

Many thanks in advance.

Most sellers won’t share their secrets on where they get their inventory for so low and end up loosing money.

Making money on eBay?

I was wondering how I could make some money on eBay making something that I could sell over and over again. Not something really small, but something I could get a few bucks for. I was thinking about making a jokebook that I could print off a bajillion copies and sell them. But I’m not doing that because its stupid. Got any ideas?

I am the ebay expert

if you are good at computers and video games create roster updates for sportsgame for an example create or buy a roster update and then reproduce it and sell it on ebay. I suggest buying a mvp baseball 2005 roster update of off ebay and then massivly reproduce it people always buy them.

Another idea if your into games like pokemon or something save your team on a flashdrive and then sell it to other people

Make money on ebay?

What is the best way to make money on ebay, for a teenager (17). I don’t want it to be a way to make money in my spare time, it has to be enough money so that I don’t have to work anywheres else. I don’t want to sell stuff around my house, cause there ain’t nothing to sell, and if there was then that would only last me so long. So does anyone have any good ideas for me?

Nagesh answers:

Hi there, I am not sure about how much you know about computers and I think you have to be at least 18 to do this, but maybe when you turn 18 a good way to make money is off eBay. Keeping part of their profits. Here is an article that explains more.

To start selling on eBay, start with the EBAY SELLING BASICS page http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation/howtosell/sellingbasics.html

Remember though, if you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher — just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.

The key success factor is: Sell products that people actually want.

It is important to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace. Use eBay Pulse http://pulse.ebay.com “a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay”.

As for items to sell, you can:

1. Buy bulk liquidation items such as those at Liquidation.com. The capitalization may be big, but the idea is to sell the items individually and profit from it.

2. Find manufacturers of items you want to sell and buy discounted items from them

3. Make deals with retailers in your area, and offer to buy their unwanted items for deep discounts. Jayandmarie – the most successful ebay sellers – made deals with music stores where they will buy the entire inventory in the discounted bins, and then sold the items on ebay for 1-cent starting bid.

4. Look for possible partners on the Web, preferably outside of the US. Import items from them and sell them on ebay. There’s huge profits to gain from this approach.

5. Check out deals from outlet stores. Focus on brand names, which you will find to be easier to sell.

Is there a flaw in my idea of making money with no money on ebay?

So get this:
Open paypal account. Find an item on ebay (in any category) with a buy now option of £5 or less (this can increase each time you reppeat process).
List the you have found item with a picture off of google images and have the starting bid at 99 pence (free item listing).
Make sure you put the ending of the listing before the ending of the item from the original seller, so that the origianl seller doesnt already sell item.
If people have bid for your item and it reaches a few pounds above the £5 then you are succesfull.
So your item’s bidding has ended and then you wait for the lets say £9 payment from the person who is buying from you.
Then choose the ‘buy now’ option from the original seller for £5 and you can change the shipping address to the person who bought the item from you.
£4 profit and you can go higher and higher. You cant fail because if your bidding (for sake of arguement) doesnt go above the £5 then 12hours befor the bidding ends you can take the item off of the display.
PERFECT
long story short: You’re the middle man (LITERALLY) the original seller gets his profit you get your profit and the customer gets the product.
Genious
How come no one else has thought of this already????

Nagesh answers:

I’m sure there are many reasons why this won’t work and lots of folks have probably tried this.

The ebay fees are probably one factor. Plus the unlikelihood that you can take the buy now option and turn around and repost the item starting at 99 and actually sell it for more than you paid … Even before the fees.
