ebay business

[mercemployee]

I am looking to start a part time ebay business, has anyone any experience of this?

What I am looking for is to find out what items are good sellers, as I don't want to buy a load of stock and then be sat on it for months whilst it sells.

I don't really have the spare capital to experiment with different products as much as I would like.

thanks in advance

I think before choosing somewhere to sell things, you should concentrate on choosing something to sell.

Well I know someone who BUYS furniture off ebay and then resells locally at a much higher price. Many people don't like not being able to see before they buy and others do not like the auction environment or just prefer traditional shopping. Some items that she buys get put straight back on to ebay but at a higher price and with a better placed advert.

She made 25K last year profit (and the taxman does know).

It is not part time however. There's a lot a couriers vans and tax records and watching items and placing small adds and showing potential customers and complete time wasters around her stock.

It's pretty much a full time job but with actually going to work.
