What sells well on Ebay?

well if you just put in something for sale under 10 dollars its only 25 cents unless you add on extra pictures or bold writing etc.. i just do the basics and then they get a little percentage of the amount sold.. but im selling stuff i have either had so long that its gonna be pure profit or things i found so cheap that it wlll still make enough worth while

Well 25 cents doesn't sound too bad, and depending on what percentage they take if it sells, I can see that it might be worth doing. It's good that you're able to make a good profit on the things that you sell. We have lots of things around the house that we don't use, so maybe one day I'll give it a go!

i just looked it up and omg they have raised them a lot higher than when i sold on there before!! but if you do things right you will still make money on things and thats whats important.. i think it said it was like 8% and up depending on what it was.. i think it was like 3 or 6 when i did it.. grrr.. oh well.. i dont trust any other sites to deal with

yes that can happen with anything, infact that is why I am having a bit of a rest..it is a bit of a turn off really when you don't sell.

yeah i screwed myself last time because i was on a roll and sold a ton of stuff steady then i kept listing things the same speed and it just STOPPED and nothing sold and i was stuck with all those listings and im like oh crap!!! so i stoppped for awhile for other reasons too and now i have gotten several things for free recently or had some things long enough to where i feel it would be only profit since i just didnt go buy the stuff to resell.. i try to sell things i have already to begin with since some times hunting down things are a pain in itself.. its like the stock market.. you never know what or when anythings gonna happen.. ive sold things for like 60 bucks when i paid 17 for it then barely broke even on other things

when i did it before i tried to do a lot of collectibles but then it seemed like i got on the tail end of them and got stuck with the crap lol

ha ha ha ha ha... will keep a bookmark on this thread then. Will check back from time to time. I sure hope more people will share here. It would be a good way to learn.

well that was one reason i made the discussion because i have no idea where the trends are right now.. when i did sell before i sold a little of everything from clothes, books, electronics, cell phones etc.. books seemed to be hard to sell last time so im only putting one up this time.. maybe between everyones answers here we will both get a good idea on whats hot right now

i just checked out how much they have raised their fees and omg they are a lot higher than i remember!! and yeah its not worth it if you are trying to sell it for the same price.. which it why i sold a lot of stuff i would pick up from yard sales that looked brand new but cost barely anything lol

i love you!!!

i always wonder about the food that looks like the virgin mary etc and why people buy it when its just going to decay and rot..

Eventually everything decays, but if you have the cash to fork out for Virgin Mary toast, you can probably afford to have it vacume sealed.

i would resell things i would get through discount catelogs and if i found new stuff at yard sales etc then i would sell that.. its crazy because if you know what to sell then you can go into good areas for yard sales where rich people are that buy a whole bunch of crap and never use it and practically give it away and you can buy it and turn it around for a lot of money.. i had gotten out of it because it was too time consuming and they shipping prices switched and went up but i have a few things that i am gonna test the waters with because even with the shipping rates being higher i should still clear money on them..

cool it sounds like you know what your doing so best of luck to you! i remember when people were selling snow on ebay lol people were buying it too lol
