Nope but then I'm a million miles from claiming to be any kind of expert. The wife runs a few online mainstream sites that use ebay and does fairly well from it but no books were used.

Let's face it - it's not rocket science. You simply have to sell something at a lot more than you buy it for. The more $ you make per sale x number of sales = the more money you make.

The only difficult part is in sourcing the product, be it physical goods or not. That simply takes a little hard work and intelligence and possibly a little capital to kick start it.

I've just started on ebay after months of researching. So far things look pretty good.

It's all just common sense - have a product or products & market it well. try to be unique.

Can anyone suggest good places to search for wholesale items?

Poker stuff, entertainment, etc. etc. ?

There USED to be a big market in used underwear. :Graucho

Noone with common sense would just give you their source. That's something you'd have to find for yourself. :2 cents:

My fiance buys and sells smurfs on ebay :)

DH

Common sense > GFY

i got approved by them today

definately not what i was expecting

products are like $1 cheaper than the average website.. after ebay fees from selling things like this, you'd be losing money

Oh don't worry, I have my backup accounts and you cannot be a true master unless you were suspended from eBay and have hands on experience with their security system tactics to detect your back up accounts and therefore create more backup accounts that don't get detected. There are only a couple ways for them not to detect them and they to be paranoid is to be safe. Plus I am getting the other accounts back up as soon as their lacking customer service team gets to my fax.

good question, there's alot of books on ebay these days.

Ebay guides could teach you the basics but I have never had enough caffeine in my to read them. Making good money on eBay is all about finding a product that sells fast and makes good money and then gaining a good market share on eBay for the product. You have to play dirty with your competition

Unless ofcourse you paid them.

What about Canadian webmasters? How do you deal with customs and whatnot? Is it still possible?

Good question. Definately a problem that I was faced with and accomplished. Concider your business a US business with a sales office in Canada. I would be stupid to say anything more

I even made an eBay Tips and Tricks Video:

http://www.axzar.com/ebay_tips.php

I sold an item for 4k U.S once.

Paypal sent. I threw in an extra $200 for the standard 20% tip.

Let me know when you're ready to get started.


Thanks.

Let me know how it goes.... =)

the secret to eBay...

Im working on the BL part of it... =)

Your video help with that at all?

My vid is Business 101.

I reveal how to better find sources, but I give no concrete leads.

Always thought about it but never got the ambitions to do it

Payment received. Email me your phone number or icq when you have some time

gross or net?

Anyone want to sell me their eBay account? You can just cancel your bank account and/or credit card on file so it's not possible to rake up a debt. Let me know what you got

Never made 20k a month on eBay but I generated some money off of it. Now I only sell something I don?t need and want a new toy (but I may change my mind).

Most of the eBay sellers make their money on shipping. If you are selling the same widget, lower the shipping cost by a few pennies. If you are selling Amazon, lower the widget cost and raise your shipping. Funny how some people will buy anything if they think they are getting a deal. :)

I used to make good money but the key was selling products that no one else was selling. The downside is that people catch on and start copying.

It was a game of trying of constantly find new products that would be worth selling.

High cost shipping can also add up to save lot's of eBay fees ;)

I usually list with free shipping or low shipping though since the customer doesn't have to worry about extra hidden costs and will appreciate it

Their still is.

i highly doubt i have the eye for buying and selling on ebay. some of the things people buy i wouldn't look twice at.

maybe if i put effort into it i could figure my way around, but didn't bother

I think that e-bay is really flooded with things. and with some of the scammers out there like that kid that sold the photo of a tv, it is not worth messing with.

ive just try to sign up at http://www.gegy.com/
and it only for US resident :(
anyone know a similar site for international user?
im from quebec, canada
thank you
TTiger

owned

I would be suprised if that place is worth your time.

An example would be selling ebay auction templates.....

Sell them for $1 and include one month membership to a site that has lots of other templates to download and perhaps a support forum. Then just rebill as normal with paypal.

Remember u can sell one template as many times as you like.

did you not read my post in this thread?

gegy.com sucks and products are maybe $1 cheaper - and all the products mainly are = movies and music

Talk to the manufacturers, it's the only way. Also, in many many cases, you're going to have to be prepared to buy 5,000+ units. I have yet to come across a single "wholesaler" or "dropshipper" that was worth a shit without going through the manufacturer.
