If you are ready to start making money on eBay, you need items to sell. One of the best places to look for inventory is your own home. Many people have brand new products as well as items, such as clothing, in good condition. Your home is filled with merchandise that you can list on eBay that will not only help you de-clutter your home but has the possibility of earning you some extra cash. Here’s how you get started:
- Start by gathering all the items you want to sell.
- Do your homework. Make sure to have a notebook or paper ready so you can jot down notes.
- Go to eBay and click on the search feature. Start with typing in the name of the item as well as the brand name. A good idea is to also click “Include title and description” for a broader search.
- Once you’ve found what you are looking for, do a little research to find out if your item is worth listing. The listings brought up from your search will give you current auctions and what the bidding started at as well as what the bidding price has gone up to. This will vary depending on condition of the item and the sellers shipping and handling costs.
- To see what you item has sold for in the past, click on the “Completed Listings” on the left column under “Refine Search”.
Using these features, you will determine if your item or items are worth listing. Make sure to read descriptions and take a good look at the sellers’ photographs to give you a clear idea of how auctions can vary. Some sellers will get very in depth with descriptions, including measurements, weight of items, fabric content, etc. Other sellers’ descriptions will be vague. The best eBay auctions include a multitude of information and good, clear photographs.
