Professional ebay sellers can attest to you that they are able to reach up to six-to-eight figures of profits in the first succeeding years of their selling practice.

Your enthusiasm to start your business immediately is great, but stop for a minute. Do you have all the items that you can sell? • For this you can start by checking out bargains stores, garage sales and flea markets, clearance sales and discounts, thrift and specialty stores in your area, items from friends and family and even your own stuff that you want to dispose of yet are still in good condition. You can also locate wholesale sellers for brand new items that you can later on sell on retail prices – the higher the mark-up difference between wholesale and retail price of the item, the higher your profits will be. 2) Look for manufacturers and dealers who will be glad to do business with you. • With their approval of course, you can sell their products on your own eBay outlets and get half of the profits. The trick here is that since the products are of factory price, you can up it just a little; once the item is bought you can give the exact amount to the manufacturer while you pocket the extra cash. Unless of course they want a chunk of the profits too, then agree to an amount wherein both of you can have fair share of it. But remember to keep your price to a minimum because buyers will still judge whether the price stipulated for the item is affordable or not. And last but not the least, 3) Use the internet to obtain more sources for possible eBay products that you can sell. • You can go online and search for manufacturers and individual sellers who have their own websites, wherein they sell their own merchandise to interested buyers. You can set a bargain price for it and then put it up for sale as your own. The internet has great deals to offer for wholesale selling on ebay if you only know where to look.
