So you’re unemployed and you are considering making your living on eBay. Well, it can be done – I’m not going to tell you different, but to make a decent income ($2500 and higher) from just selling on eBay you will have to learn allot, and sell allot.
Many millions of people around the world have the same dream as you (wanting to make a living selling on eBay) and the competition is stiff. There was a day when you could find some good drop-shippers and let them ship out all the goods to your eBay buyers, but that profit avenue is drying up fast.
Why? Because the drop-shippers got smart and cut out the middle-man – that would be you and me…..the little guys. So have I discouraged you enough?
Like I said above – it can be done. If you are really serious about making a living on eBay you better start reading, reading, and reading. Then there is the Internet where you can find thousands of articles on how to make money on eBay, but there is one place that I think is the very best place to go to learn how to sell effectively – that’s at eBay itself. Click here to the eBay learning center and start by bookmarking that page. You can print some of their best learning materials off and create a binder. Then you can read anywhere and not just when you are online.
I highly suggest printing of the eBay learning center material before you buy any books. You can then go to the library and check out some books on eBay. Many of them are very basic so skim a little before jumping on one author’s take. Some books look like they have all the answers you need when you read the jacket, but when you dig into the book, it’s just very broad and basic.
There is that point where you will stop finding answers, tips, and tricks. That is when you realize the real pros at selling on eBay have got some master strokes they don’t give up. One of those master strokes is where to find the product that sell, and have a good margin. Some of these eBay masters make ALL their money from the shipping charges they tag on to every sale.
So have fun, read, dream, and then make a plan that makes sense to you and your situation. Oh – and look out for some of these eBooks promising to give you the “real goods on making a million dollars a year from selling on eBay”. You don’t need to spend $30-$50 dollars on some crap ebook when the information is out there for free on the eBay web site, and in the library.
