I've Sold A Few Items On Ebay - Now What?

So you've sold a few items on eBay from around your house

. Congrats! By selling your first items on eBay, you're ahead of 90% of people who hope to sell on eBay. You're ahead of those people who dream about selling but never do anything to get there.

But right now, you're probably wondering what's next? Aside from getting rid of some unwanted clutter around the house, where does the true money on eBay come from?

To answer the question, let's think about what makes a business successful. What transforms one small hamburger stand into the instantly recognized McDonald's chain? The answer is in the systems. The system is the process that has been optimized so you can repeat it all the time and so that it works every single time. In your eBay business, you want to create systems that work without you being there. Having your products automatically listed and re-listed to eBay while you sleep is just one great example.

To create these types of systems, there are some great tools available to you as an eBay seller. These tools free you from some of the mundane tasks, so that you're not always sitting in front of your computer. It's a great feeling when you check your account in the morning and find that you made money while you slept!

Here's a couple more tips: Buy products that sell. Of course not everyone has the money to buy a truckload of products, but you need to get started and you can get started small. The key here is to do your research beforehand. What is already selling on eBay? Where could I buy it less than the current eBay price? What products are hot? How do I find them? Well...

Keep Your Finger On The Pulse. If you want a quick, birds-eye view of what people are looking to buy on eBay, check out http://pulse.ebay.com. On this page, eBay lists the top 10 most searched for items in each category, along with the most watched items. In addition, eBay displays the top 5 largest eBay stores so you can quickly spot the latest trends. Right now, the largest eBay stores are selling media items, such as books and music. These categories obviously have some strong sellers.

The eBay Pulse is an excellent tool to help you start identifying what buyers are looking for. If you take those same words from eBay pulse and do a search on eBay, you can see how much competition there is. Products with low competition and high demand are great ones to pursue, and you've found what you can sell.
