money on ebay

Start with small items. Not everyone will buy a high priced item from someone with a very low seller total. Build a good reputation for yourself before you try to sell higher end products. Also, make sure you take paypal. Many people won't buy stuff unless the seller takes paypal. And always send with delivery confirmation to protect yourself from being taken buy a buyer. Believe it not that happens.

I decided to sell what I like. If I wanted it I figured others would too. I came to find out they did. I am a powerseller and make as much as I want. All I have to do is list more items. The hardest part is managing it with my landscaping company. I don't like to work 80 hours a week so I try to only list what I can ship the same day it was payed. The 1st year that I sold on ebay I made a lot. The most I sold in a month was $8,000 and my ebay fees were $3,000. Now I am more conservative. I try to keep ebay fees at 20% or below.

I think the whole secret is finding a product that will be in demand...supply and demand is the game, I think you have to study what sells and what is not readily out there in the shops for people to buy without having to pat that extra for postage.
