Hello,my name is effy and i am an ebay powerseller,the secret in ebay is hard work and effort,i have a team of 4 pepole that just working in at ebay department we have,when you want to make money you need the goods that is for sure,ebay is no magic you win some you lose some,you can check my ebay user name effy6 and see my sales,at the begining i just started it myself and afterwards i saw that i sell a lot so i joined another worker and now i am with 4 workers that manage ebay,we have a department for customer service,for shipping and for payments,it is all like you have a real store,as for your question,in one 1 year i have made around 60,000$ in ebay,so as i said at the begining if you have goods that you can get cheap,then go for it,good luck.

Hi,
Listen every goods that you have avilable maybe worth on ebay,its all about how you describe it,its easy to join and its free,however to sell there is some fee's to be paid but when you start selling they are redunded from your sale if you sell,if you want to become a pro at ebay i suggest that you look for big goverment auctions and stuff like that,meaning you need to get goods cheap and you can sell them at ebay,there is 180,000,000 potential buyers,so basiclly what ever you post you might sell,i have started with t-shirts and now im selling all kind of stuff and lab equipments,you can see it at www.ebay.com and under the community bar just type effy6 and you can see my sales.
If you need any help im always here to answer.\
Cheers
Effy

yeah, that is because there is a bunch of marketing affiliate items that people can make money on just from sending a free kit...that is probably why you are getting inundated with ebay stuff. YES I make money on ebay, I am not a power seller but I sell a lot of my baby clothes on it, and other baby stuff, and then I also do some dropshipping and then I also sold a lot of electronics too so I have had success, However it is only once in awhile, I am not a pro at it, and not a powerseller. However I want to boost my positive ratings so that eventually I can get a good reputation as that is very important on Ebay!!!
Good luck to you..

how do you ensure that the goods get to the buyers all over the world.

I think if you have the time and commitment it's easily possible, my sister-in-law found an item to sell, it wasn't generally a popular item, although she had no problem selling them! She bought them from a local shop where she could get them cheap and sold them on.

I believe it is possible but it all depends on how much you want to make and how much time you have to sell. It is not easy and the really good ones are very organised plus sell massive amounts so have a large turnover.
You would need to know what you want to sell, where you are going to source it from and also have some sort of business plan if you are going to do it full time. If only part time, as a way to earn a little extra money, you will still need to know the same things but on a smaller scale.
Good luck but there is no quick and easy way to make a lot of money because you have to have the quality product that people want to buy.
