Top 3 Products to Sell on eBay That Will Make You Rich
Article by Sarah McAllister
As of right now, eBay has quickly become the biggest website that you can profit off of fast and easily. Anyone can easily set up an eBay business these days. In fact, right now there are millions of users on eBay that run their own website on the site that show all the products that they are selling.
While the eBay selling strategies can come easy for some, it may be a little bit confusing for someone that has never even sold anything on eBay yet. eBay selling starts out with having an idea on what to sell. Figuring out what to sell is the most important step you must take in order to be successful with this process.
In order to choose what products to sell, you must focus on what people are interested these days that you can offer at a price that doesn’t compare to the retail in local stores. Now, with that in mind, you must stay focused and make sure that you do your research before selling anything off the bat.
Here I am going to give you a few ideas of what to sell:
1. Electronics
There is always a rapid need for electronics these days, whether it is an iPod, cell phone, or stereo system. When a new device comes out on the market at an extremely high price, you better believe that you will find people searching for that item on eBay to find a discounted price.
2. Information Products
These types of products are usually delivered digitally. You can find different types of information products (eBooks) to sell on eBay. You can find a whole bunch of them in affiliate sites such as clickbank, or wholesale junction.
3. Antiques
Another reason why people come onto eBay because it is some what said that eBay is the largest garage sale around. Many people will collect things for many years and then sell them on eBay to make a lot of profit off of their collectibles.
In my opinion, the best way to go is through drop shipping. This way is the best one used by the people that make a full time income on eBay everyday. Drop Shipping is a great thing that anyone can utilize. How it works is, you can go and search products that you are looking for at a discounted price. If you find a great bargain that you think might make your profit, you can list it in eBay.
When the product is sold, you will never have to worry about touching the product. You just let the manufacturer know that the product was sold and then they send it out to the buyer in the packaging.
So, you have a few ideas now on what exactly you can sell on eBay.

Excellent Advice and No Rosy Glasses. Highly recommended,
`The Home-Based Bookstore’ is written by Steve Weber, who solicited this review from me and supplied me with a copy of his book. I expect this will not influence my review, but it is good for you to know this up front.
Before I opened this book, I posed some questions I thought the book should answer. These questions, with the author’s response follow:
1. What are the criteria for choosing Amazon.com, eBay, or one’s own site for selling a particular title?
The author clearly prefers Amazon over most other options, although he gives some good reasons for setting up your own web page.
2. How do you pick titles to sell? Some obvious examples, such as Stephen King hardcovers are really poor second hand sellers.
The author gives some very general suggestions on which titles to pick and which titles to avoid. I agree with him almost entirely, although I can think of some exceptions to most of his titles to avoid; however, that is based on special knowledge of certain fields such as cookbooks.
3. How do you acquire interesting titles cheaply? Whenever I browse a second hand bookstore, 99 out of 100 titles are pure junk. I have yet to find, for example, an important out of print cookbook at any used bookstore.
The author provides many good sources, including every one I could think of, plus one or two I did not think of.
4. How do you track your stock so you can quickly determine whether or not you have a title OR where you may be able to acquire a title for a book hunter.
The author gives many useful answers to this question, including some new technology options that really surprised me, based on accessing the Internet through your cell phone.
5. What is the best shipping option considering cost versus speed?
The author gives some very good analyses on the advantages and disadvantages of fast versus slow delivery options.
6. Is there any value to branching out to recordings?
The author never once discusses how to apply his suggestions to other merchandise, even though he does go so far as to consider expanding an Internet sales operation to a brick and mortar store.
One of the reasons the author does not deal with other goods is that marketing books through the Internet is so much richer a subject than I imagined, in spite of the fact that I am a major customer of these services. The amount of software written to support this enterprise is staggering.
In a nutshell, Mr. Weber has given us an excellent manual on how to do this very specialized, albeit very popular form of Internet marketing.
The first sure sign that Steve was not pulling the wool over our eyes was when he stated that while this activity can be really rewarding, it is still hard work. The plus side is that you get to keep all the rewards of this hard work.
Since running a bookstore was always one of my secret ambitions, I really appreciated almost everything Weber had to say about this adaptation of the corner bookstore. If I were to point out any one thing where the author was light on his recommendations, it would be with the fact that I think a person who really knows and loves books in the first place will do much better than the average entrepreneur. I suspect that one could get into real estate investing without a good knowledge of law, carpentry, or finance, but unlike houses, books are something which not everyone knows well. One test for an aspiring book merchandising operation would be to name the leading textbook authors in statistics, economics, symbolic logic, and organic chemistry. I cite these because Mr. Weber makes the excellent point that non-fiction books hold their value much better than fiction, especially current popular fiction. The author does not point this out, but a major exception to this rule should be manuals on computer software. No one has any use anymore for a text on Multiplan, dBase III, or Wordpro.
I especially liked Mr. Weber’s recommendation that the reader consider specializing in a particular field, such as cookbooks. This is an especially good suggestion as everyone must eat and so everyone needs someone to cook for him or her. It is also a good field as there is a rich bibliography of out of print cookbooks which most foodies would love to have access to, such as English writer Jane Grigson’s catalogue.
While Mr. Weber does not deal with any other type of goods, I suggest his suggestions would work almost as well for records, toys, or collectibles in general, as long as you know your subject.
I am very happy Mr. Weber provided his book to me for review as it is very unlikely I would have found it on my own, and it is an especially fertile plot of ideas, suggestions, and guidance regarding this enterprise. I am happy for him that he got his work into…

|A real nuts-and-bolts guide to making money,
There are untold thousands of books on the market that promise the buyer a way to make money. Most just provide an outline, or some ideas that the author claims will produce guarenteed millions, buying distressed properties, government surplus, whatever. Some are by successful business owners, but don’t really get into the details of running a business. And some are out-and-out frauds.
This book, though, is almost unique among how-to business books. It’s written by a successful busienssman, and it’s a real, practical nuts-and-bolts guide to setting up an internet-based used book store. In fact, it’s so detailed you have to wonder why the author is going to such pains to help set up his own competition.
There are chapters on where to buy books, what books to sell and which to avoid, how to grade books, the best selling venues, how to describe books, how to set up an inventory system, how to deal with problems- if you can’t run a business using this book alone, you shouldn’t be running a business, period.
Now reading this book won’t guarentee you can make a successful go of an on-line used bookstore; you still need the kind of drive and perseverence that characterize all successful business owners. This isn’t something you can make a go of in a few hours a week; it requires dedication. And you need to be flexible; I suspect that this business model won’t be profitible forever, as the publishing market changes. But it’s a good model for more than just books. I could see applying the same model to other used goods.
If you are, in fact, the kind of person who has the drive and the devotion to make a business work, and you’re looking for a good business model to start with, you could do a lot worse than to get a copy of “The Home-Based Bokstore”. I strongly suspect that this book will spawn a lot of new Internet entrepenuers.

|1. list and sell the item online. as the auction is being made, weigh the item and add 1 lb for box and peanuts. as you do have to put in a weight at time of auction.
2. get free boxes from companies, from dumpster diving, or get free ones from the post office (web site).
3. find companies who through away peanuts or have a paper shredder and all of your mail, coupon ad’s, etc, shred and use that for box stuffing. Goal is to use free boxes, free stuffing as these items can cost you.
4. once item sells, wrap it, pack it. since the item sold on ebay it will come as payment from paypal or a money order/check. If by paypal you can just hit the print shipping label button (as long as you have a printer and some stickers, the 2 stickers per sheet work the best). Once label is printed place it on the box. If no label, you can just use Microsoft Word to print out return address in the corner and shipping address in the center. Then print on the stickers. This beats hand writing each label w/ a marker on the box.
5. now that it has a shipping label from online, you can either schedule the post office to pick up the box(s) from your door. Or just drop them off at the post office. As shipping has already been paid by your paypal account when you printed the shipping label.
6. if you hand wrote, hand typed the address and didn’t use the paypal label printing option. Then you will have to walk each package into the post office and pay for it at the counter. Parcel post is the cheapest unless its under 14oz. Then use first class mail. If the items are small, and can fit into a bubble envelope. Then use this method as it saves you much in shipping. ($ 1 for bubble envelope + $ 1.50 avg shipping yet charge $ 5.95 shipping = profit of $ 3.45 per item shipped)
7. if the item(s) are breakable, fragile, etc. On the auction click the option to have shipping insurance by choice or must have. This way the customer can purchase shipping insurance (you will have to click the button when printing the label or tell clerk at post office with hand written label) to ensure their purchase arrives safely.
8. Unless you sit for hours and just do shipping items in like an assembly line process. It can be very tiresome and boring to do. Oh and don’t forget to get a decent tape gun and rolls of tape (Office Depot, Sam’s club, etc). Brown tape is best over clear as clear doesn’t like to stick to cardboard boxes much.
