Ebay...who uses it and what do you sell?

I was told several years ago that everyone as $1000 or more worth of junk that they could sell in their homes. That is true after seeing what can be sold on Ebay. I think we average about $100 a month selling things we don't use or need anymore. There is an old saying that "One man's junk is another Man's treasure."

I don't use it regularly but I have sold some things on there. I have sold some tap shoes, ballet shoes, and jazz shoes on there, I have also sold some books, and I have sold a couple of costumes. That is pretty much it though. Have a great day!

We have sold similar things. When our kids outgrow stuff, we list alot of those things and the usually do sell. I think that the key is making sure you start the bidding at a good price. We usually start at $.99

Hi there kbjunior15! I do use Ebay. When I was just starting with Ebay, I would just buy the things that I find interesting. Later on, I also started selling some stuffs over Ebay. I did sell some old books. I also did sell some beaded accessories that I personally make.

I have never really trusted Ebay because even though you can make a lot of money selling stuff,and you can find some good items for sell in the auctions,it is sometimes hard to guarantee that what you buy or what you sale makes it to its destination on time,and in good condition,so me and my fiance would rather turn to Amazon.com when it comes to buying and selling.

I have sold lots of different things, but I mainly stick to used books of all ages. I look out for bulk buy deals where people are having a clear out and have come across some books that have sold on for good money. I find it goes in spells though and sometimes I can be really busy on there and other times nothing sells for weeks. I would love to have the money to be able to buy in bulk and sell properly on there though. My friend is a power seller and she does chidren's toys and is doing so well! I look at other peoples acounts and think that if they can do it then surely I could too. It just never seems to work for me though. I need some tips I think.

We usually do pretty well. We are a Power Seller. I am like you, I'll buy bulk deals on Ebay and then resell them. I also look at yard sales alot for things I know will sell on Ebay:)
