The first hurdle to overcome when setting up an eBay business is deciding what sort of items to sell first.
Many people have asked me should I be selling PC’s or jewelery and are totally confused by the mass of choice of what’s best to sell. But fear not as this is a problem every eBay seller has experienced at some stage.
So what is the excited newbie supposed to do when it seems that every original idea has been taken.Well I find that a good starting point is your own interests and hobbies after all there is a saying if you are doing what you love you aren’t really working anyway … that seems a good place to start to me don’t you think?
If you have an idea for products in a specific niche market and are not sure how popular your choice might be you could use eBay to check out if the market has brought your type of products in the past. After all there is no point at all in selling stuff no one wants is there?
I started looking for ideas by talking to family members and my friends and asked them what they had brought recently. A cousin of mine was getting married and was looking for bridal wear when I sat there looking for her I found many people were selling things for brides and I came up with a great selling idea.
If you are a regular visitor to the Amazon or Barnes and Nobel websites you will notice that they have a almost seemingly endless selection of books on a myriad of topics. But also you’ll find they have a list of the most popular books in most categories, just drill down through these to find new product ideas to research further.
eBay themselves have a section called eBay Seller Central where in the ‘What’s Hot’ section they list what people are looking for or selling the most of. Of course this might be a source many others use but at least it’s a starting point.
You should always bear in mind that it’s highly improbable that you will come across a single product that is selling well enough to build a business from and you should look to diversify your portfolio of products. Seasonal products may sell well but I don’t suggest selling Christmas decorations in the middle of summer.
At the moment it probably seems still pretty hard to decide what to sell. But once you do a little homework you’ll start seeing opportunities and before you know it you’ll be up and running. Just don’t forget walk before your start running and you will be fine.
