Maybe you've seen the other sellers on eBay and wonder where they get their merchandise. It's easy to see who is selling stuff from around the house, but where do the other sellers get their products?
Besides the stuff that is lying around the house and the garage, many eBay sellers hit yard sales and thrift stores to find items to sell. Generally they are looking for things that are cheap or marked way below their actual value. Thrift stores can be a great place to find brand new clothing with the tags still on.
Say for example an eBay seller finds a brand name shirt with a price tag of thirty dollars on it. They purchase the shirt for three dollars and they spend about two dollars on eBay for the listing fees for that particular auction. In the end, they only invested five dollars and that shirt could possibly sell for twenty dollars. The seller makes a profit and the buyer receives a brand new shirt at an amount that is cheaper then the price tag.
To sell stuff on eBay this way will take a little skill and time on the part of the seller. You of course will have to have an eye for the things that sell and the things that don't. The best thing to do is to research, research, and then research some more. After enough research you will be able to find an incredible amount of stuff to sell. You might also want to consider hitting all of the yard sells in your area in order to sell stuff on eBay.
Purchasing items to sell on eBay and learning how to sell those items can cost a little bit of money at first. It's going to take some money to make money, as it would be with any business. The investment is worth it.
