One more way to make money online.......  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 91/100. heatherfeather80 (832) 4 years ago

Hello, I started cleaning out closets, cabinets, garage, etc. I found tons of clothes, shoes, candle holders, dvd's, old cell phones, all stuff that I don't wear or use anymore, including childrens clothes. I listed them on ebay, and am averaging about 5.00 an item. Except the cell phones, I made 56.00 on one and 116.00 and the other. This is a great way to earn some money, instead of having a yard sale and sitting in the hot sun for 9 hours while people pick apart your stuff and try to talk to down on everything you once loved..lol Seriously, you can sell ANYTHING on ebay. Car parts, motorcycle parts, collectibles, antiques, movies, jewelry, curtains, anything you don't use anymore, turn it into money. Good luck to you all and have fun. Oh make sure you take good detailed pictures of your items and always list that they are used, cracked whatever, as long as your honest you won't have a problem.

Heather

I keep intending to start up a little eBay store just to get rid of a few old things that I don't need anymore/want to get rid of. lol The trouble is I have a few questions holding me back. For example, I'm confused about what to do for shipping, and I'm not sure what sort of paypal account I ought to have in order to run things. I thought you could use a free paypal account as long as you only accepted payments through paypal, but... Any more tips?

Ok, just sign up for a basic paypal account and only accept paypal when you sell on ebay, it makes things a lot less confusing. As for the shipping, I always ship everything Priority US Mail. I wouldn't use UPS, they are such a rip off. On US mail you can also add tracking for like 80 cents or something if you want to track your package. After selling a bit you'll get used to what to charge for shipping, by the weight. On something like a pair of shoes I'll charge 4.00 or something if they are not too heavy. You can ship a lot of things in bubble envelopes, that saves a lot of money too. If you have any more questions feel free to ask. Good luck to you!!!

Shipping for priority mail... okay, that sounds great! I'll try to do that. I'm going to try and sell one or two things. Thank you for the advice! happy

Agree entirely. We made over £1000 ($2000) on eBay just getting rid of junk and unwanted things.

Now we look out for stuff to sell from garage sales, and car boot (trunk) sales. There's money to be made from other people's unwanted items and it doesn't take a lot of effort.

I have my own e-bay biz right now and i make about 900-1500 a week, its the best job i have ever had. I recommed this to everyone sell your junk. cause you dont need it and it probably taking up a lot of space.

Absolutley! Thanks for your comment :)
