I've been selling on eBay since 1995. My eBay feedback score is 99.4% with 930+ positive comments from my Customers. I'm making money while having fun! In this article I'll plant the seed to get you thinking about making money online on eBay!
If you're a Craigslist junky, think eBay. Same idea, greater exposure. Yes, there are fees to sell on eBay, but the rewards can be huge!In this article I'm going to encourage you to look around the house, garage, and yard to see what items you're not using. I'm not about dumping everything just to make a few bucks! But if you haven't touched it in a six months, you probably don't need it. Donate it, give it away, throw it away, or sell it on eBay!
Step 1: Selection.
Look around for a few things you are willing part with! Go small to begin with. And go light weight because you will need to ship it when you sell it. Scout around for items laying around collecting dust or just taking up space. Check out your old jewelry, trinkets, purses, hats, dolls, figurines, CD's, DVD's, audio books, toys, or games. Clothing and accessories are big sellers. What hobbies have your family outgrown? Do you have collectibles that you are no longer into? Do you have two of something? The possibilities are endless. Look in the junk drawer. What's laying unused on the work bench? What's stuffed in that box on the top shelf? Check in the back of the cabinets for kitchen relics. Your cast-off may become someone else's treasure.
Step 2: Inspection.
Line up the items you're ready to part with. Now carefully inspect each item. Look for imperfections, dents, dings, cracks, or grazing. Are there rips, soil, or stains? Is your item faded or missing buttons? Does the item operate as designed? Is it broken? Does it have loose or missing parts? As a bonus, can you find the original box and instructions? Selling an imperfect item can damage your reputation as a seller on eBay. Your reputation is measured in the feedback you receive from your buyers. It is your rating and ranking. A solid feedback score will make buyers feel comfortable to spend their money with you. Now select carefully and narrow your items down to the first one or two items you will be putting up for auction on eBay.
While you're doing that, I'll take care of some business at home. Look me up for the next step you'll need to know to get starting selling online on eBay. I'll check in with you later!
Things you'll need:
- DESIRE to make extra MONEY at home, in your spare time!
