The first thing you need to think of is: do I want to sell only a few things, or do I want to sell alot of items and have a yearly profit of 1,000- 300,000$ a year? The first thing you have to do is set up a paypal account. This is one of the options you can recieve payment of purchase with, that makes ebay buying and selling much easier. The second thing you need to do, is copy pictures of what your selling on your computer. Then click on the register button on the homepage, and start an account- takes only 1-5 minutes. Then click on the sell button, and it will take you to a screen that lets you pick which selling plan you want. If you are only selling 1 item, you get that free, but if you are selling more than one but less than 40 items a month, then pick the lowest plan – 15.95 a month. If you are selling between 10-200 products a day which can make up to 800$ a day, pick the middle plan which costs 50$ a month, but if you made 200,000 a year around 600$ a year is not alot. If you are selling 250+ products a day, then pick the premium plan which costs 299.00 a month but again after you subtract it from your total earnings, it is not alot. Once you have youe account set up with which ever selling plan, you can choose to sell as much or as little as you want! 🙂
You need a clear vision and a plan.
1.
1. Choose an item or a line of items that you want to sell. Choose something that you can easily acquire at a low price and sell at a profit.
2. Research your product and find out if you can make a profit. You can do this by reviewing similar eBay auctions that have concluded. “Search” and find out how other eBay users have fared with the same (or similar) items.
3. Take crystal clear photographs of the items that you want to sell. Listings with clearer photographs have higher success rates, according to eBay.
4. Register for a PayPal account. Ebay integrates with PayPal to easily process payments from your customers,
5. Click the “Sell” link at the top of the main eBay homepage, and click “Sell an Item”. Enter a credit card number, without which you cannot sell on eBay.
6. Click the “Sell an Item” link again to list your first item for sale. Before you proceed, the system may ask you to log in again as a security measure. If you choose “Fixed Price,” enter the cost of the item. If you choose “Auction,” enter a starting price.
7. Enter a generic name or keyword which eBay buyers might use to search for your product as well as a description. Use the image upload form to upload your images. Enter a shipping cost and click the “Publish” button to submit your listing.
8. You can return to eBay and click the “My eBay” link to view the progress of your listing. If you receive questions from buyers in your inbox, respond to the questions promptly to encourage bids and purchases. When the item sells, you will receive an email with the buyer’s name and address. By shipping the item quickly and securely, you can ensure that you receive positive feedback, which encourages more people to buy from you in future.
Start with opening an account. Then, what do you want to sell? Do you make something or do you want to dropship? If you make your own stuff just set up listings and see how it goes. If you want to dropship, you’ll want to find some reliable sources and learning dropshipping is kind of intensive. Ebay has some hefty fees so do the math to make sure you have enough of a profit after the sale before investing too much into ebay.
