Your first stop should be eBay's Guide to Seller Services http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/services...

eBay's Seller Central has all the resources you need to learn about the basics of selling on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/inde...

The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- Sell products that people actually want.

Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.

eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace:

Items In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sell...

Hot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/what... and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left.

eBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action.

Merchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/cale... to view the current Merchandising Calendar.

Just research the items you are going to sell and start listing them for sale. Then when you have the system figured out start adding other systems to the process. Like stuffers in your packages to get customers to visit your website instead of Ebay.

ebay is not alway the best place to start. The system is somewhat cumbersome, and even proves nearly impossible to use at times. There are some very low priced ecommerce solutions available these days. I can actually help you set up an ecomm site if you'd like. thomy8s@yahoo.com
