Making Money on eBay
To be honest I haven't really looked into this one yet. It goes against one of my main principles of not handling goods or dealing with customers. I know for a fact from my ' real world' businesses that goods and customers eat up time that could be better spent making more money.
The basic idea to making money on eBay is very straightforward. If you can sell products for more than you can buy them for you make a profit and start getting richer. Lots of people are building very successful businesses using eBay and a wide range of techniques they used to do this.
To make a substantial income from eBay (as with anything) you need to operate it as a proper business. Finding a few products each week at a car boot sale (I think they're called garage sales in the US) and flogging these on eBay will earn you pocket money rather than a liveable income. You need to find wholesale suppliers who will sell products to you at a price that you can mark up to sell at a profit. This is basically what any high street shop is doing.
There are a range of books and schemes to help you understand the process and build your eBay business so please check out some of the links below.
