How to Sell Stuff on eBay for Beginners | 101 Guide

Basics:
1. eBay is not Amazon:
eBay customer doesn’t care if it's used, they are usually looking for rare items, discounts, and preowned stuff.

Tip: go out there and buy a few things on eBay to get your ratings up, so they don't think you’re scamming people.

2. Listings Fees, eBay fees and Shipping fees/PayPal
Listing: the average fee is around 35 cents per listing and sometimes free depending on the items. So if you're adding 100 items that are 35$ bucks, so they add up

eBay Fees: they have a fixed fee of 10% and can only go up to 750

Shipping fee and Paypal fee
Beg: You never pay for it
Climax; just include it in your price or charge the buyer shipping
Ending: that’s why shipping isn’t a big problem

- Same with your PayPal fees

Profits/ Money side

1. Where to find the items to list
Beg: When I first starting on eBay, I didn’t have much money to buy products
Climax: I sold everything I had that wasn’t an asset, so that meant around 75% of the items I sold.
Ending: I took the extra money I made, between $1000-$3000 bucks and use that to buying more items to sell

- Buy from thrift shops or Goodwills or even Red Cross, Garage sales
-
Pros: High Margins
Beg: I use to go every weekend with my friend
Climax: and we would go with 100-300 bucks and come back home and make an extra 300 or 1000 bucks
Ending: So you can make a lot of profits if you know what you're looking for.

Cons: Time Consuming
Beg: we would go in the morning, usually on Saturdays because that’s when people drop their donations off
Climax: we would visit goodwills all day and other stores.
Ending: this process to hours, I’m talking about over 5-8 hours just looking and buying and listing was and taking pictures.

- Directly from a manufacturer or a wholesaler
Pros
Beg: I have a friend and his name is Chris
Climax: He only buys and sells whole items and he does 15k-20k monthly consistently in sales
Ending: And I actually meant it at the post office.

Cons: Competition and time consuming
Beg: When you buy wholesale, a lot of other people can do the same
Climax: so competition is high and the prices are almost the exact same
Ending: So the key lies in finding hot items and then selling those.
- The only way to find out is to see what's selling on eBay and do product testing

Tip: when you're making this much money, you don’t need a 9-5, so it's normal for it to be time-consuming


2. How much to list them for and your Profit margins

1. Items you plan on buying from thrift shops, red cross, goodwill, and garage sales
Beg: When you go to the store, always bring your phone
Climax: check eBay and use the filet section and select ( sold items, and completed items)
Ending: This tells you, how often they sell, and for how much, completed make sure they weren’t returned.

Tip: Example: I find a camera, I looked on eBay and see how much it sells for and use my filters.
- It sells for 50
- And they want 10 bucks
- Factor in free shipping or no free shipping and also PayPal fees and eBay fees
50 bucks – 13% and that’s your profit ( bad at math just use an app)
- Also shipping cost and cost of the item and that tells you, your profit)

2. Whole Sale: Margins are 30-40% and sometimes 20%
Beg: Take into account all the fees and also how much money you want to make
Climax; once you have that, you know how much to sell for
Ending: it's pretty much the same thing, except you’ll have more items

The best items to list ( how to get it also)
