Hi, As someone else mentioned you might want to start with clearing out what you don't want around your house. This will help give you some idea of what sells well, what people are after etc before you go to the hassle of setting up an ebay store. Certain things will sell better at certain times of the year while sometimes things like used books are a huge seller one day and don't sell at all the next. Also if you're at all interested there's a link in my profile to a program which teaches you how to become an ebay affiliate and set up blogs etc to basically sell other peoples ebay products - this way you earn from ebay without the hassle and worry of storing stock, sending out items and tracking down payments etc

Anything that is cheapest in your country and that you can post out internationally without any custom problems.

I think that selling books would be great. It is easier to manage and easier to ship.

I don't think it is a good item to sell on ebay because there's too many books on ebay,Anyway, Thanks for your response.

personally I wouldnt look at ebay, I used to have a shop on there and closed it down few months back the profit margins are quite small. Also clothes and shoe's sales on ebay are well minute I just done a search for shoes and can get designer shoes on there for about 20 uk pounds and clothes for a few pounds maybe another option is to look at affiliate sales for shops where you become an affiliate at no set up costs and earn commissions of sales alot safer than buying stock and maybe not being able to sell it
