sellers on ebay

[Lao Tzu]

does anyone do this for extra money? what all goes into it. can you show me the ropes?

I am wondering the same thing. I have bought lots of stuff on there, but never sold anything. I want to sell some shit.

you have the account - if not, make one.

having paypal helps too.

then you just find something that you want to sell and fill out the info.

then when someone wins the big, you contact them/they contact you.
then you ship them the shit and figure out payment for it.

most people say you don't ship the shit until you get your money.

also, the person usually pays all the shipping.

jesus christ. I meant 'how do i sell things for a profit'. I have already sold shit before.

 

[HappyScrappy]

for profit?

uhh... you charge more than it is worth?

 

[HappyScrappy]

my mom actually makes fairly good money selling crap on there.

she does crafts that people feel have value even though the things cost nothing to make

yee haw.

 

[Lao Tzu]

so like if i um bought somethin for $7, and charged $6 i would make $1? how much rock does that buy.

But don't you have to give some of the funds back to EBAY since you sold it through them? And i have a paypal account, but how do you get money from them? Do they credit your credit card or something? The bank account that i had attached to it has since been closed.

Yes, ebay take a certain percentage of the sell. Not sure exactly what that percentage is though.

MP5, I would just start up a new paypal account and register a new bank account. They credit that account ever so often I believe.

Here is the best way to make a profit.

Find those sites that list coupon codes or "hot deals". You can buy a ton of electronics with discounts or special offers. Most people have no clue about these deals so then you can sell a brand new product at close to retail price, which will allow you to get your money back plus a profit.

 

[HappyScrappy]

yeah - you can do credit card.

they want some small percentage of what you make, and then there are fees for other things if you want them.
