The Burning EBay Products Supplier Question

How do eBay sellers find items to sell, items that will sell well each time you run an auction?

I am going to reveal a secret to which you already know the answer. You just don’t know you know. The secret to eBay products sourcing and one of the key secrets of eBay power sellers is knowing the one basic product category that mysteriously seems to sell like hotcakes at a Sunday brunch.

The fact of the matter is that on eBay you can sell virtually any product. And although you could probably find someone who would buy your fingernails, that’s not really the issue. You don’t want to sell just any product; you want to sell what you can consistently earn a profit. Many people starting out on eBay want to sell cool items such as DVDs or the latest electronic gadget, but this is not generally the best way to break into eBay if you are starting from scratch.

You may not be aware that there is a source, or sources, of goods that requires very little if any startup capital. It also requires very little market research. Of course, it never hurts to take the time to research a market, but with some products it just isn’t as necessary. The category of goods I’m thinking of will have no drop ship fees or problems with customer service, and the great thing for you is that this category always sells well.

I know I’m playing a kind of guessing game with you, but please bear with me. I am going to tell you the secret, and you are likely to say, “Well, I knew that!” Of course, if you knew it, why aren’t you taking advantage of it? Nevertheless, please stay with me because as with so many so called secrets, it is really very simple.

EBay power sellers know that eBay is the world’s biggest garage sale. That statement is gold. Ignore DVDs. Ignore consumer electronics.

Here are your best eBay products supply sources that will make your auctions a success: (1) second hand shops, (2) retail merchandise that has been liquidated, (3) live auctions, (4) your neighbors’ junk items, (5) garage sales, (6) estate sales, (7) your own second and cast-off items from your attic, (8) parts taken off of otherwise non-functioning appliances, such as old vacuum cleaners, washing machines and junked cars, (9) thrift shops, (10) yard sales.

Selling successfully on eBay does require some work, but that should be a labor of love. The fact is that no business can succeed without thought and persistent effort. If you are looking for a way to get started on eBay cheaply and make profit, this is a very workable entry point. Now, you don’t just have to focus on garage sales, though some do very well indeed–my bigger point is the leveraging of one-of-a-kind items. Perhaps you have access locally to a specialty item not readily available elsewhere. I’m sure you get the point. Time to get started.
