Can You Really Make Money With Ebay? What You Need To Know
If you've ever read an article about eBay, you've probably come across stories of
everyday people making thousands of dollars per month selling on eBay.
Just go to eBay and look at how many PowerSellers there are: there's quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of these sellers must be making at least $1,000 per month. That's the requirement for becoming an eBay PowerSeller.
Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!
The fact that these people exist gives you an idea of the earnings potential here.
In fact, most powersellers don't even set out to to start an eBay business - they simply started selling a few things, and then kept going. There are plenty of people whose full-time job is selling items on eBay, and some of them have been doing it for years now.
Once they've purchased the stock, everything else is pretty much pure profit for these people - they don't need to pay for any business premises, staff, or anything else.
The net profit can be attractive.There are multi-million dollar businesses making less in actual profit than eBay PowerSellers do.
And you don't always have to buy stock to sell.
If you find a reputable drop shipping wholesaler, you can advertise an item before you buy it - then once it's sold, you pay the drop shipping company and keep the difference between the wholesale price and the auction selling price. Many of the top powersellers who make money on ebay use wholesale drop shippers.
Even if you don't want to quit your job and take the plunge, you can still make money with eBay in your spare time.
You can pack up orders during the week and take them down to the post office for delivery every Sunday. There are few other things you could be doing with your spare time that have anywhere near that kind of earning potential.
The great thing is, eBay doesn't care who you are, where you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers are very old, or very young. Some live out in the middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of the few alternatives to farming or being very poor.
You can sell and make money on eBay no matter who you are. There's also no long drive to the office and back every day.
Put it this way: if you can find something reasonably cheaply that you could sell, then you can sell it with eBay. And since you can always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that's not exactly difficult.
Here's the simple way to make money with eBay: but a lot of some high-demand items cheaply and sell them on eBay. Just make sure to do your homework first and know what sells and what price you can reasonably expect.
If you want to take it slow at first, then you can just sell things that you've got lying around in the house. Search through that cupboard of stuff you never use, and you'll probably find you've got several hundred dollars' worth of stuff lying around in there!
That's the beauty of eBay - there's always somebody who wants what you're selling. Since they've come looking for you, you need to do very little to get them to buy it.
