How to make money in Ebay ?

I recently earned a few dollars on eBay, but it seems like it's not that easy to earn anymore. There is so much competition! If you have something rare or popular, you might do it, but many things just don't sell. Also, having PayPal is a big advantage, I never sell the stuff that I list without PayPal.

I did this once before- It's like any business- if you see a gap in the market, you will make money from it! I went to Japan and I realised that overseas alot of young girls like these really long loose socks that look like leg warmers- infact I wanted a pair but didn't find any on ebay so I had a look in Japan (where they originated from) and there was one shop that sold them for very very cheap. So I bought a large bulk (About 30 pairs) and shipped them to myself. When I got back to UK, I sold these on ebay and made a very good profit off them, they were going for roughly 10 times the price I paid for it- now it's not so profitable sa lots of people caught onto this and started selling them too but I was one of the first to sell them and that did make me money so I imagine if you keep doing things like this it's possible to live off ebay!

Dont know about wholesalers but all you do is sign up to ebay, place an advert of the item to sell, if your lucky you will sell it..get paid then post it..job done Thats a very high level piece of info, best thing to do is go onto ebay and look around
