Ebay - Good choice?

Who would agree with me that selling old products to make some cash for yourself is a good idea. Personally that's why I love ebay, if your low on cash, get some games, cards, products together that you once got the enjoyment out of. Then sell them! Your sure to be able to get some cash together to pay for some things and buy new things, or even purchase old things that you didn't want to sell.

Who'd agree with me?

We used to sell on eBay quite a bit. We were buying on there... so we used the money we got from selling... to buy!

I like to sell books... because I have so many... and they are easy to ship.

My mom is the eBay queen... she always has something listed in there!

I have over 1400 feedback on eBay.

I'm sure that lots of money can be made on eBay, but I've never tried it. I've actually only used eBay to buy about three items and I've never sold a single one. I don't know why I never really got into eBay, but I think it's just because I started running other types of businesses that were successful, so I never looked into the eBay route.

I used to sell quite a bit on ebay but stopped when I became employed. I still sell now and then when I have a few things lying around I no longer need, if you're lucky you can get some high bidders on certain things.

It's hard to make money on Ebay with their high fees. Some will charge a lot for shipping and only a dollar or so for the product to try and avoid the fees, but I think that violates the TOS and can get you banned.

Well, yeah, I've listed so many times on eBay and enver sold a single item and was charged the high fees still so I am somewhat kind of cautious about what I do put on there from now on. Plus, my account is banned until I get the money paid which'll not be for a little while. Either way, you should see what I mean... be careful and make sure you put all the details you need to into the description to make it a selling item.

Plus, I work at FedEx... so i get cheaper shipping via them using eBay

Making a business off ebay, not easy. You see all those articles on the front pages of magazines, but those outline only the success stories.

I'd invest my time into a more profitable business concept.

I think e- Bay is very good optioin but you have to careful when you selling your ietm. You also need some good feedback because good feedback means many buyer.

I sold many items from e-Bay and earn $500 around in 4 months.

i have used ebay to buy items as its easy to get a deal where prices are quite less than the market prices. though dont have an experience of seling anythign on ebay as i dont know what to sell and what not. i just cant make up my mind. sometimes i think i should sell this, but the next moment i think, no i shouldnt sell it.
