Start By Looking Around the House or In Your Garage or Storage Unit... and Sell What Your No Longer Use, Need or Wear
While many people resort to buying 'hot items' wholesale, you will probably want to start out selling on eBay on a risk-free basis by auctioning of the 100's of items that are just lying around the house or taking up valuable storage space that you would rather have cash for:
- Books you've already read
- Clothes, shoes, handbags, etc., you or your children or spouse ha've outgrown or grown tired of
- CD's, DVD's, Video Games you don't watch or play
- Inherited antiques that don't suit your lifestyle or decor
- Electronic equipment you''ve replaced with upgrades
- Small appliances you don't use
- Vintage cameras
- Costume and vintage jewelry you don't wear
- Collections of stamps, money, etc., you've lost interest in
Buy Wholesale and Have Your Items Dropshipped Directly to Your Buyer
Once you've gone through your 'free' inventory (from your unwanted household item) you'll probably want to look for additional products to sell. One route is to find popular items at a wholesale price and have them dropshipped to your buyers.
SaleHoo.com is an excellent source for wholesale and dropshipped items to sell on eBay

Your eBay Listing is KEY to Selling Your Items on eBay for Top Dollar
Make sure that you take FULL ADVANTAGE of the tools, options and space you have on eBay to make it easy for buyers to find your listing and to showcase it in the best possible light.
- Take advantage of the 55 characters and spaces in the subject line to pack it FULL of SEARCHABLE KEY WORDS. To get ideas for what "key words' people search on, search on similar auctions and look at the COMPLETED AUCTIONS, organized by highest price first, to see what key words successful eBay sellers have used. Make a list of them and use the most successful. Forget adjectives, exclamations (WOW!), and words like "and", "the", etc. Leave off "s's". Take advantage of recognized abbreviations like" vtg" for vintage, "NR" for "No Reserve", "NWT" for "new with tags", and so forth.
- Use the right selling category. Again, look at COMPLETED AUCTIONS for similar items, arranged by highest price, to see what category or categories sell the best.
- Take lots of really good photos from many angles including lots of closeups where needed. The more you can show a prospective buyer EXACTLY what they are buying, the more bids you are likely to get.
- Use the "add a second line" option. This helps you stand out from the crowd and is well worth the tiny extra cost.
- When you have an item you KNOW is popular enough to sell "for sure" at a substantial price, choose the "Featured Plus" option so that it is on TOP of the page that it would normally appear on. Some items may "guaranteed" sell for enough to warrant the "Featured First" option, where your listing will appear on the FIRST PAGE of every search.
