Starting an eBay Business:
Why is starting an eBay business so appealing? Because it’s easy, fun and can be done from the comfort of your own home. But what if you want to do more than just sell a few items and actually make money on eBay?

Getting Started on eBay:
The best way to start making money on eBay is to sell some of your own stuff. I know that’s not exactly a novel idea, but it really is a great start because it lets you get used to the eBay system and model without risking any money on purchasing stock to sell. I recently did a big clear-up at my house and I was shocked at the value of all the stuff that I don’t use any more. I sold even the bits that were only worth £5-10, it all adds up.

Once you have sold a few bits and you are confident with how eBay works, you can invest that £200 or whatever you made into some stock and try selling that too. The beauty of eBay is that you really don’t need a lot of stock to open up for business. The traffic is already there, so you can start off with a few products and grow your selection of stock as your capital grows.

eBay Do's and Don'ts

Whether you're buying or selling, eBay presents endless opportunities to do very smart and innovative things, as well as endless opportunities to make some very big mistakes. Here are a number of dos and don’ts that you should keep in mind when selling on eBay.

Don't Price Yourself Out of the Market
By selling too high, you might earn no sale at all, while by selling too low you could cheat yourself.

Don't Quietly Sell Defective Items
Sellers who knowingly sell defective items but mention only that they are "AS-IS" or "condition unknown" are risking negative feedback and worse.

Don't Create Drab, Boring Listings
No buyer is going to remember, much less try to return to a bid on, an uninformative, unenlightened listing.

Don't Add More Features Than Your Item's Worth
Promotional features are powerful tools, but there is a definite limit to the kind of return that they can provide.
