Products to sell on eBay.

You can sell almost anything on eBay (someone even once sold a brussel sprout from their Christmas lunch on eBay apparently) and I'm going to show here you lots of different ways to find things to sell on eBay.

Let's start with some good wholesalers for eBay sellers, then look at making stuff, finding items to sell on eBay and buying on eBay itself to resell!

If you are interested in using one or two sources to buy items at wholesale, then 2 wholesale sources I recommend you check out are Worldwide Brands and Salehoo.

As an example of the kind of products to sell on eBay that you can get from Salehoo, here's a quick list of SOME of their stuff:

Ipods, video games, clothing (all kinds), shoes, jewelry, cell phones, electronics, car audio, jeans, xbox360, perfume, nintendo... think that's enough to give you an idea!!

Here's some more info:

A wholesale catalog is very useful as it has loads of low-priced items that are popular products to sell on eBay. It means you can buy everything you need in one place.

What I like about this catalog is that you don’t have to order large quantities in one go, which is great and also unusual.

There’s nothing worse than having to order $1000 of items only to find they don’t sell well. It also messes up your cash-flow if you have to pay that kind of money up-front.

You also don't have to leave your home to find items to sell - so you save on time and fuel!

Dropshipping Companies

Another way of finding products to sell on eBay is to use dropshippers.

This means you don't have to buy items to sell, the dropshipper has the products, they post them out to your customer too and give you a commission.

So, a dropshipper is really a go-between.

I've heard some negative stories about people's experiences with some dropshippers - orders not being honored etc, so tread with caution with this one.

There's obviously a huge up-side as you don't spend your own cash on products, and your time isn't taken up with posting them, but there are risks too. Salehoo can help with reliable Dropshippers by the way.

Make sure you really check out a dropshipping company before getting involved. What you want to avoid at all costs is getting negative feedback on eBay, it can kill your business.

And if a dropshipping company lets you down by not sending your order out quickly or not sending it at all, you will get bad feedback, for sure.

Items to sell on eBay - More ideas...

I am going to share a wide variety of ideas here - I recommend you read them all and see which suits you best.

I'll show you how eBay itself can be a great place to find products to sell on eBay, plus how to make things, find things and more...

There are useful tricks of the trade that will help you. Some tips I can share here to find products to sell on ebay:

Many eBay sellers list ‘wholesale items’ in auctions and in their shops. In other words they put collections of items in bulk numbers into auctions at wholesale prices, eg. 50 necklaces, 100cd’s, and so on.

Simply do a search on eBay with the word ‘wholesale’ in it eg. ‘wholesale costume jewelry’ and you will see what I mean.

If you learn when are the best times to shop on eBay you could pick up some great bargains.

This is why it is so worthwhile to invest in good information about selling on eBay, like the Silent Sales Machine ebook.

It's challenging to make money on eBay if you don't learn what the competition is doing.

So, eBay itself can be a great and easy way to find items at low prices which you can then list individually at higher prices in your auction listings or in your shop.

The other advantage to this is, every time you buy or sell something on eBay you are given a feedback rating. This rating will then appear next to your eBay name.

The higher this number is the better. It shows you are successful.

So, if you are buying regularly on eBay to get your own stock, you will increase your all-important feedback score. This is a crafty way of using eBay to make money and increasing your all important feedback at the same time!

You can also find items at car boot sales, flea markets, fetes and auction houses.

If you have a good eye for a bargain you could make a lot of money buying at places like these and then selling on ebay.

Another place to look is local designers or artists. Do they want an online outlet for their work? Will they give you exclusive rights to sell their work on eBay?

Imagine if you are the only seller on eBay selling those items. Do you travel? If you are holidaying in countries where they sell cheap local crafts that could be a great option for you.

Make products to sell on ebay?

You can make jewelery or do carvings, pottery, pictures etc. Whatever you like!

Unique, quality items can go like hot cakes on eBay, particularly if people cannot get these items anywhere else.

Easy crafts to make money

This way you are using eBay to make money from your craft skills, reaching a far wider audience than only selling your crafts offline.

Check on eBay to see what kind of crafts sell the best before you start making stuff though.

What you think is going to be a best selling product may turn out not to be in reality.

It's far better to delay your eBay business by doing valuable research than it is to leap in with the hope you have chosen the right kind of products.

Do you enjoy collecting things? Why not sell your collections on eBay and then start new ones?

Find your niche

Another of the keys to using eBay to make money successfully is to sell items that are all part of a niche.

In other words, specialize in a small market.

If everything you sell is on the same subject, you will get much better results than if you sell a wide variety of items.

Most of the top sellers specialize like this, and I have found that the best way to have success fast is to copy those who are already successful!

As an example, if you are interested in selling shoes on eBay, will they be designer shoes, or low-price shoes?

Will they be kids’ shoes or trainers or evening shoes and so on.

If you are thinking of selling books then what kind? Rare books, old books, children's books, self-help books? Or factual books, school books, language books, second hand books and so on.

Find your best subject area then narrow it down. Then do your research and see who else, if anyone, is already selling that on eBay.

See whether there is enough demand.

Can your prices compete with theirs?

Try a few items out first, test all your ideas out and don’t go buying vast quantities until you have properly tested the market.

It’s so easy to go rushing in, full of excitement, but if you control that and take the time to do these vital steps you will be using eBay to make money much more successfully and quickly.

I hope I've given you lots of ideas about products to sell on eBay. Follow your passion and interests, combine it with good research and I'm sure you will be successful.
