Isit true that you can do business in ebay?? One day as i was bored, noting to do after my job search. I tried surfing the net and try to watch some shows on you tube, in curiosity i tried to type "How to earn money in Ebay" they really gives me a list of how they earn money money from ebay. Some showed you how you could buy things and sell stuff on ebay without having any stocks with you and resell stuff with a profit, as i sees and thought to myself. "If i start buying and want to resell at my country i would have to buy from you at that price, then how would it considered to not have stocks with you." Sounds contradicting.

You can indeed make a profit from eBay. You could offer to sell products that people don't want anymore, and you get, say, 10% of whatever that product makes at auction. There are so many people that would like to use eBay, but are too scared to or just don't know how, so there's space for people to do this in society. I know that people can make a profit from eBay, I have relatives who do just that, so you should never ever rule anything out.

it depends on what you sell. what i suggest is go to ebay and study some of their tutorials and visit your local library as there are lot of books on how to sell stuff on ebay. best of luck!

You can easily start selling items that you already own in your house. Things that you do not use anymore or simply just want to get rid of. Items such as clothing, books, home decor, DVDs, CDs, etc. When my children were growing up, I used to sell items on eBay to help make some extra money for our family. I started with some books, then my children's outgrown clothing, old movies & CDs we no longer wanted or watched. Then family members asked me to sell items for them, then I taught them how to do it themselves...it grows big if you stay informed of what to do when selling. I was selling, on average $500 a month of just old, used items. Some months I would reach the $1000/month goal. It's really up to you. I would suggest, if you are not a member of eBay, to sign up and become a buyer of a couple of things to get your rating started. That will give people a better gut feeling to buy items from you...it shows you are honest when they see that your rating is positive. Good luck...you can definitely make some money without having to buy other products from other people first...just clean out the house!
