I'm an ebay buyer and seller ... I sell all kinds of odds and ends on ebay. Like Cellphone chargers to phones I no longer have, or cellphones that work but don't know where the chargers are located. I've sold maternity clothes, my clothes that I couldn't fit into, and so much more. The most I've made in transactions on ebay would be $450 when my husband sold his Iphone ... What do you sell? How much do you make each month? Is it worth it?

I would like to make money on ebay because I have so much stuff I can sell even though I dont really know how to sell on ebay. But would like to get a tutorial program to show you how to sell on ebay so I can be getting a lot of money like a lot of people seem to get.

The majority of those Tutorial Programs for ebay are scams! You have to be very careful with them. In the course of the last year, I would say I sold over $800 worth of clothes, electronics, baby stuff, and other odds and ends. It's not hard to sell on ebay, just create an account, link it to your paypal, list an item or two to get you started to see if you like it. You don't need anything fancy to sell on ebay. Good Luck and I hope you at least give Ebay a try!

I sell some things on ebay, but not on a regular basis.

What do you normally sell? Clothes? Shoes? Kid stuff?

Have you heard of BigCrumbs? You could earn cash back from them on every purchase you make from ebay (and many online stores). Send me a message if you would like to have more information.

Ebay is for selling things that you do not want or use anymore. I have sold clothes (which are then mailed to whom ever purchased them). I've been trying to go through things that I have in my house to sell since Christmas is right around the corner. And because I'm wasting my time at my $10 an hour part-time (11 to 20 hours) a regular week is not enough money to make up what my husband doesn't at the moment! I spend more driving to my job and eating than I make in a day ... So it's not worth it!

I have dipped in ebay, the fees seem to be getting higher and higher. I guess it is great to make a little money from on stuff you do not want. I have been on a search to find sites that are simialr. One I found was called blujay. Really cool site check it out if you get a chance.
