Who here makes money selling on ebay or another auction site?

It sounds as if you sell a specialized collection of books and will be able to make some decent money. I recently listed a whole bunch of books that I had sitting here that I knew I would never read again (mostly fiction, a few medical reference books) on half.com. I actually made my very first sale yesterday! I don't expect to do this on an ongoing basis, though. I just thought that I would do it to see if I could make a few bucks from my "junk". I think that the shipping charges can really get you if you're not careful. Good Luck!

Never tried that but seems to be interesting.So I would love to give it a try and I am sure it will be a lot of hardwork and fun to do that and will also gian some advanatages for sure.

I sold books the last couple of years. Some old ones some new. But it got to be a pain going out and finding them, then having to go ship them. Sometimes I made money sometimes I didn't. I did sell an old collection and made alot of money. But I gave up.

it was really neat to see this discussion/ i've been thinkin' on this for a few weeks, but sometimes i think that there is too much competition, i.e., amazon plus all the others/ however, i am glad to hear of your success/best wishes Currently reading Stephen Mitchell's interpretation of the Tao... (i am slightly worried cuz i am seeing inconsistencies with it/ (i honestly don't think i am more intelligent than the Tao, so how can i be disagreeing with a bunch of it?)

I have sold books and collectibles for the past few years, but like some others have said here, it gets hard going out and finding the items to sell. And definitely make the buyer pay for shipping.

My partner and I have made some money on ebay over the past few months. We started buying to sell back in October last year, and although it's hard work (and not exactly huge profits for very little time), we love it. Christmas was hectic - we were sending out twenty to thirty parcels a day! We're hoping we can build up our business to become a full time career. I think like anything worth having you have to put the time in; we are looking at this as a long term effort which eventually will bring in the money we want. We have made some money in the short term, but we are looking to reinvest this in more stock to build up our business.

If you sell theological or religious books can you send me an email when you are auctioning? What do you books go for? My email is littlefranciscan@suddenlink.net

i don do that

It sounds like you have found yourself a pretty profitable niche for ebay. I have tried selling books there but didn't have much luck. they were just regualr ficiton books though. I decided to just list all my books at half.com and sell other stuff on ebay. I am just getting going trying to make it full time now. Right now mostly what I have is clothing which I don't really care fo but it helps get me into the habit of listing and everything that goes along selling on ebay. I am at that stage where I really need to go out and get some products. I know if I had the products I could list many auctions each day. I am not sure if I want a niche or not. I think I like being able to sell many different things. Well good luck to you. My ebay username is ktynse is you want to check out my acutions.

I've sold book (Mills and Boon) that belongs to my mother on eBay. She wanted to get rid of the books. So i asked ofr her permission to sell them on eBay. If i'm not mistaken, i sold almost twenty book on eBay. That is all that i've sold so far. Only on eBay.

Wish you have a good business. Once you earn some money, do you plan to investment more on that book selling business? Do you need more that several thousand dollars to start such a venture?

Well i have not selling much on ebay but still i like ebay.as i think this is the best site for auction based purchasing.
