How to make money on Ebay.com
I have bought my fair share of goods from eBay.com. A lot of online retailer have store presences there, so I’ve been able to get brand-new name-brand items for less than retail price. The majority of my purchases involve salon products such as NailTek Intensive Therapy II and/or Seacret Ocen Dead Sea Nail Kits.
I’ve even sold a few things on eBay, but more so to clean out clutter than to make money. I think my first experience of selling stuff on eBay was when I got divorced and sold the anniversary Precious Moments figurines that my (ex)husband had given me as gifts when we were married. I knew I could get more for them there than selling them at a garage sale. But I by no means profited on them (although my Ex may disagree).
Since I work at home “on the computer”, most people presume I “sell stuff on eBay” and ask me for advice. Well, I suggest taking pointers from Kristi over at Spend Less and Save More who started selling on eBay in 2002 and is now her business.
Kristi covers the basics from how to create a successful eBay listing to shipping eBay items. She even gives away secrets on hot sellers including cashmere, vintage sewing patterns, and Wilton cake pans… who knew? Thanks Kristi for sharing your knowledge!

I have just started selling on ebay and it has really supplemented our income lately. I am a SAHM and it definately helps! I LOVE the Paypal system where you can get paid immediately through the debit card. So why am I writing? Thanks for your cool post and thanks for your referral to Spend Less Save More- I’m reading her site now!
We sold a ton of stuff on ebay about 3 years ago when my husband lost his job. We needed money for bills and rent and the stuff that we sold on ebay did really well. We haven’t sold on ebay for a while because a guy bought out product and said it didn’t work, he wouldn’t send it back to us and pay pal gave back his money. We where out the product and the money, so now we only buy from ebay not sell. (Also the product was brand new)
I was so glad to see this post tonight. I’ve been thinking of selling a few things on ebay recently…time to declutter some and some things are just too good for a yard sale.
