Surely you can sell anything you like, but of course you would like to build your reputation and make a name for yourself, so you can focus on a particular type of product to sell. And to make it clear, that does not necessarily mean you should be restricted to a small area. You can certainly start in large area with variety of products so you can make sure you get customers of different interests.

Second, you should know what is selling well on eBay, no doubt there are too many, but how to know about them? You can use eBay’s advanced search feature to find out what are the popular products on sale, it will provide you with good information on what is selling and how much it is sold for, and of course you do not want to buy the wrong stock.

Now you have a good idea of what to buy, but still do not know where to get it from. To find out you will have to do some work, as no other seller will tell you from where they get their stock. The two main sources for stock are – wholesalers and Dropshippers.

It depends on the method you prefer to deal with either Dropshippers or wholesalers. As a beginner you can start with Dropshippers as they hold all the stock for you, and the advantage is you only pay them when a customer buy an item from you. And a fee might be required to join the scheme though. But you will need to get your own room to buy the stock in case you choose to go with wholesalers and also the money to pay for that stock as well. This may result in buying the wrong stock that is not in good demand, but you can avoid this risk by checking the auction listings before you order anything.

Now you need to know where to find your sources. Two simple methods can be followed, if you have a view of a particular product you want to sell, you can simply check the package for the name of the supplier and then check their website and find out what they have more.

Another way to find your stock sources is searching for them in the Internet using search engines, and this is not as simple as it seems, you can find very good wholesalers, but you should check carefully or you could miss your way.

You should consider well your reputation and try to build up your feedback as a good seller. You need your customers to distinguish you from the others, and that can be achieved by providing good services for them. Reaching a powerseller and top-rated seller status requires proven feedback of both quality and quantity. And the minimum time to do so is 90 days for the first bronze level of eBay powerseller five-level classification.

You do not have to set up your own shop in the beginning, it is better to wait until you have a good range of stock for it. And you should pay good attention for the prices of your goods, to make good profit your products must be affordable but that doesn’t mean they should be very cheap, but also not expensive so you ensure that you will attract many customers and make good revenue.

Remember that your success depends on the credibility, quality and good service you provide for your customers. So you need to figure out what you love selling, what you really enjoy, and it won’t take you much time to experience great success in your business. With determination and resolution you can go so far, and you will get even more than you could imagine.
