Anyone here ever make more than $20K a month off EBAY?
 

I'm not talking scams and scam products, I'm talking about selling niche products built in one state and selling it to the rest of the country. I'm pleasantly surprised to know that shit I buy in Hawaii or Seattle get snapped up for 5 to 10 times more than my cost by people in Ebay.

My income from Ebay grew exponentially and then it hit a plateau. I'd like to know if any other adult webmasters use Ebay as a suplemental revenue stream.

Speak up, Ebayers! :thumbsup

i should be... ebay is easy money

Mainstream business is where it's at.

*cough*

Understatement of the century.

It still makes me laugh out loud to find out people still bust their ass on crappy TGP traffic yielding a negative return when they could put the same amount of effort into ebay and drive Porsches after 3 months.:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Sold a collectors car that was owned by Judy Garland on ebay for $50K one month.

I've done $20,000 to $30,000 per month on two different occasions.

What's an example of something you bought from in one state and sold for 5-10 times more to the rest of the country?

If it's large items and you're moving some of them I can see it making money, but if it's small relatively cheap items you're going to have to sells tons of them like in a general retail store to make any notable profit. Am I thinking about this all wrong?

I'd love to share it but I wouldn't want my income to drop 50%
That's like saying people make money using Yahoo Interests and showing you how to subscribe to the interests on the left and update your shit so your profiles (with your link) always shows at the top and always shows online.:1orglaugh

Yes.

You'd buy a ream of paper for a 400% mark up (and do), but I doubt you'd buy a new workstation at that mark up level.

Margins are always lower on big ticket items.

lol gotcha:winkwink:

Mike33,
People who profit the most on ebay are experts on antiques, and such items.

Don't expect to make 20k a month selling diet pills or laser pointers :rasta

You're right. But I guess you'd have to sell a quite a lot of reams of paper to make significant coin. And is there really so many such items that can only be found in one state and not in another?

Happy to hear you guys are doing well with Ebay. Hey, whatever works. If you found a way to do it, keep on:thumbsup

I see, makes sense

This isn't your profile, is it?!

DUDE, don't give it away!:mad:

But since the cat's out of the bag.... Think LIGHT WEIGHT guys and think MARGIN vs Novelty value vs. MULTIPLE USES

My name is quite Scandinavian on Ebay.

The problem is that these "drop-shippers" and "wholesalers" are usually selling shit to you at a cost I like to call "retail".

Take what u have learned in adult and apply to ebay

Ebay and paypal allow u to rebill, thats the key

Offer a service and then rebill for support

Wait, this place doesn't even do that. Am I missing something or is gegy.com no more than an affiliate program?

Edit: Man, this place has some vague documentation. I guess I can choose my own markup.

Nice!

How? :(

Wow

oh shit, is that your site andrew?

looks pretty solid, I'm gonna try it out

Hmmm

Got time to talk about it ?

what did you pay for it?

Can you give us an example? That doesn't make much sense, unless you're marketing a very specific service or high maintenance product.

whats ebay

Back in 98/99 I made 20k a month selling Sports Memoribilia:thumbsup

You'd think if you sold the stuff you'd know how to spell "memorabilia." :1orglaugh

Without eBay, I would be living on the street. Or worse, working at a real job.

Drop shipping opportunities are some of the biggest B2B scams online.

WATCH OUT!

They may say you are getting it at wholesale prices, but in reality you are paying close to retail.

Most of the time you'll have trouble selling these items online for what you paid for them.

The real key here is to get as close to the manufacturer as possible. Most of the products you buy from these drop shippers have passed through MULTIPLE hands and thus have had MULTIPLE markup's before reaching you.

I have never sold anything on Ebay...

Was your shit authentic? Got anything left?

I am an eBay master. Too bad my accounts got suspended for stuipid cock fuck reasons. For $1000 I will spend a couple hours on ICQ or on the phone explaining to anyone interested how to make $20,000 a month on eBay with minimal investment.

A lot of people are rich because of ebay.

I did one month when I sold my car. :1orglaugh

No - you're really not. A true 'master' wouldn't have had his/her account suspended in the first place even for 'cock fuck reasons'. The few living that close to the edge that are any good would have new accounts waiting in the sidelines.

Haha OWNED! :1orglaugh

Do you recommend any Ebay books that would be of value to someone starting out?

yes .. all of my stuff was authentic.. I sold my top dollar pieces individually.. then sold the rest to a local shop owner. :(

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.
