How To Sell Things on eBay: Getting Started!
Congratulations!
I’m excited that you’re going to learn more about selling on eBay.
So, I started selling on eBay more than 15 years ago because I needed to stay home and care for my Mom. eBay was the perfect solution, as It offered the flexible hours that I desperately needed.
Your eBay selling is what YOU make it.
- Want to declutter and make money?
- And are you looking for a cash-making business working hours that you set yourself?
- So, do you have a project for which you need funds?
- And how about keeping items out of landfills & make money doing it?!
Looking for extra money?
Thinking of starting a side hustle that could become your main job?
- Want to raise money for your favorite charity?
- Is time to stash away some funds for your kids’ or grandchildren’s college funds?
Welcome to eBay and online selling!
Selling on eBay is an awesome way to declutter your home.
Turn your unused possessions into cash for whatever you want and keep them out of landfills.
To begin, the first step in successful selling on eBay is to keep your startup costs low. In fact, it’s crucial for sellers at all levels to watch costs.
So, keeping expenses under control is an important factor in the overall health and continued success of your business.
One of the greatest expenses in running an online business is the cost of inventory.
In fact, I’m reminded of this fact weekly on the hit TV series Shark Tank. Entrepreneurs regularly appear on the show to ask the “sharks” for funding to buy inventory.
Of course, to begin selling online, you do need inventory. And ideally, those items should be free (especially when you’re just getting started). Inevitably, sellers ask me, “Kathy, where can I get free stuff to sell?”
So, keep reading, because I’m going to tell you!
Now, go through your closets and drawers.
Though technically not “free” (unless everything you own was given to you), chances are your home is full of potential inventory.
Next, make a pile of items that are still in great condition, but that you and/or your family no longer wear or use.
And now you have plenty of products to sell on eBay!
So, it’s time to list your stuff.
