I'm wanting to start a small ebay business and I'm at a lost at what to sell or how to even start. Do you sell wholesale items or do you just sell your own?

I started selling my own things that I didn't want anymore. But enjoyed it so started going to auctions and estate sales. Now the hunt for the great find is my hobby!

How do you find the strength to let go of good finds?! Arghh! That's the hardest part for me!

I sell books on ebay usually. Sometimes I sell stuff of my own but most of the time I go to boot sales and charity shops to buy things to sell on.

I just recently started selling on e-bay. I have a few clothing items from my boys on there. I also am selling a few other items from home. I find there are many things I have but dont need. So why not see if I can sell them! Good Luck to you!!

Right now I am selling my own stuff. Clothes that the family has outgrown, etc. I would love to find a good wholesale network to get clothes from, I can't seem to find one though that you can buy smaller quantities from. I don't want a whole truckload or even half of a truckload, just a couple of boxes. But I can not find one. If any of you know of one please let me know

Don't use a dropshipper, most people that use dropshippers end up with a very bad reputation on ebay..lots of negative feedback. If you ar selling something you should have it in your possession, plus if you look at the prices that the dropshippers are charging and then look for the item on ebay you can tell you won't be making any money. Start off by selling things that you already have, make sure you enjoy selling on ebay. Then do some research on things that you know about & enjoy and find a wholesale company.

i would look at the pulse on ebay to see what is selling. I would look at fgmarket.com for wholesalers and if you are looking to sell fashion related items checkout www.wholesalepursesandjewelry.com Everything from handbags,fashion jewelry, & printed t-shirts. Hope this helps you get started

I am also considering a small Ebay Business. I am not sure what to tell you to sell. Ebay like any business is very unpredictable. I sell occasionally household items. I have a lot of clothing I am thinking about listing this week.

I would like to start selling wholesale on eBay but don't know where to start. I know a guy from my town that goes to real estate auctions and garage sales and sells find on eBay for a living. (what fun that would be!) For now, I sell items I plain don't have room or use for, things that I personally own. I don't get much money from such items though. I more or less have an awesome "buyers" rating and not much of anything when it comes to selling. I would say to start somewhere in selling something you are passionate about, as to not lose interest. But nothing that you are TOO interested in, or else you won't want to let it go!
