5 Easy Ways to Make Money on eBay
Summary
As the editor of the UK Auctionline Newsletter, I often receive e-mails from subscribers asking for an easy way to make money on eBay. The answer to this question depends on what you consider "easy." However, selling items on eBay is one of the simplest ways to earn money online. Here's a straightforward five-step process:
1. Find something to sell
2. Photograph it and write a description
3. Upload your listing to eBay
4. Collect your payment
5. Send the item to the buyer
Now, let's dive deeper into how you can easily find products to sell without even leaving your computer.
1. Add Photos to Listings
Any item listed on eBay benefits significantly from having a high-quality photo. Items without images tend to sell for about 20% less, and in some categories, like clothing, the difference is even more significant?"up to 78% lower. Consider buying items with no photos, adding images, and relisting them for a profit.
2. Spot Poorly Listed Items
Many items fail to attract bids due to poor titles, descriptions, categories, or misspellings. Instead of browsing aimlessly, use eBay's search feature to find items ending soon, especially those with no bids. These items often represent bargain opportunities due to their poor listings.
3. Choose Optimal Auction Times
Different items perform better at specific times. Typically, auctions ending on Sunday afternoons or evenings, and Wednesday evenings, do well. For business items, Monday or Tuesday during office hours is best. Conversely, listings ending at unsociable hours, like early Monday morning, tend to perform poorly. Buy these and relist them to end at better times to potentially gain a 20% profit or more.
4. Buy Collections and Resell Individually
Sellers often list collections as a single item, which typically fetches a lower price than if each piece was listed separately. Buying these collections allows you to split and sell individual pieces, often at a significant profit. Sometimes, one item alone can cover the cost of the entire collection.
5. Explore Other Online Auctions
While eBay controls over 95% of online auction sales, there are many smaller platforms where items might not sell as well. Purchasing from these lesser-known sites and relisting on eBay can yield higher prices, thanks to eBay's larger audience and reach.
These are five simple strategies to boost your earnings on eBay. Why not try one or all of them to see what works best for you?
