the million dollar question... What sells best on ebay???
 

iv had a mess around with ebay over the last few months, buying stuff from dhgate and off ebay in the wholesale section...

i work full time and only realy do ebay on week ends and evenings...

BUT HERES THE MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION,
apart from the obvious stuff from dhgate like dvds, console games etc & the out of date console games you can buy off the ebay whole sale page,

What other things sell well? im not asking for your ebay secrets just a point in the right direction, i want to open a buisness account and sell lagit, has any one got any good ideas?

Iv looked on the net for hours on end for the last 2 months with no joy!

Is it best to but small quanties of lots of diffrent items and just trial and error or is there a way to find these things out?

i dont want to be selling chineese nock offs and any help on any good UK wholesalers would be apriciated,

thanks in advance x

I heard iPhone's sell quite well these days

yes id imagine thay do.... but how would you go about finding a UK supplyer?

Find an iphone supplier a legit one and one that makes profit enough to still earn after ebay, paypal, and shipping fees, and just incase crazy disputes then you better be making a good profit more than a 100 bucks I would say after all those fees.

yes i phones would be out of the question... had a look into some gadget stuff and kitchen / bathroom apliences... may make a small order and see how it goes!

That's your responsibility to do the research. People are not going to spoonfeed you their trade secretes on what's popular with high profit margins and where they got the stocks from.

Also depends how much of a profit margin you are looking for.

And there is your answer....

It's not just what sells best on ebay.

It's what sells best FOR YOU on ebay.

Think of stuff you like. Pick stuff you will not mind packing. That's one angle of approach
:pop2:

Google ebaypulse.com you can dive right into any category, plus see the best sellers doing their stuff.

sell about 300 a month and theres £100 gbp profit on average in each sale

damn keyboard :deadhorse:

Research,research and again research it took me more then 6 months until i found my niche

Wish you the best

Wow that's 40,000 US dollars clear profit a month. I need to research a bit more!

Research,research and again research it took me more then 6 months until i found my niche

Too true.

Honest answer...

no one will tell you. Anyone who does tell you, surely has a profit to gain from telling you. It's capitalism at its finest.

A old ebay sellers joke.... ebay sellers come together to learn from the pros at a conference. The speaker asks "who here is making a profit on ebay every month, no matter how small?" Everyone raises their hands.

Then.... "Okay, now how many of you have a good supplier?"


All the hands go down.


The joke explained - People with good suppliers won't ever tell.

I think the correct question isn't "what sells best on eBay", but rather "how do you find and source which items sell best on eBay". Because if you give somebody an item on a public forum, other people start selling and the market becomes saturated and no longer profitable. However, if you learn to find your own items and niches, you'll be able to support yourself.

very true... could not of put it better myself lol ;)

Pigeon milk - sells at a great price

Also cockeral eggs if you can source them

Fingle pins

Scrunging blocks

All good sellers

PM me if you need cockeral eggs

with some of the talk on here i might be able to fit in if i should ever move to the UK

F*ck. Don't make me vomit. I will never be able to remove the mental image that I conjured up reading that now...

Pigeon milk - I thought this was also called pigeon poop.

Pigeon milk cheese - very rare and very valuable - great seller if you can source it at a good price - bit tangy for my tastes

Recycled cat litter - has to be a winner

Underwater Hairdryers

Skirting board ladders - always in demand - good niche market

Tartan paint - great repeat seller - sells much more than spotted paint

Dehydrated Water ... for all the diet aficionados

Oh yes - just add water :lol:

Battery powered battery chargers...for the economically minded

Sky hooks - for working up high

A pedal powered wheelchair .... for those not welcome at Fitness First

Smoke alarm with a snooze button...for those who want to keep the dream alive!

Superb 'spyman' (that's you now :spy:cortex:spy:)

Do you think he's got enough money-making ideas from us now GT? :pound:

@OP, I was going to say, try selling Solar Panels to fellow UK'ers!

you know what sells good EVERYWHERE... Weed and other drugs... LMAO... Yeah dont expect an answer

No one will tell you. And not to sound like an d*ck but i am glad for this. B/c eb*y is already over run by too many sellers. Many of my niches became discovered already. Only a few ones left. Now i got more research to do....... :mad2:


Also.... whenever you have that million dollars in cash. Let me know. Ill tell you what sells best.

What do these items that you speak of usually sell for? :juggle:

Terapeak research tool !

I dont have it but heard posotive stuff about it.

These sort of programs I can never understand why they are good.

If I bought the subscription and kept looking at what is selling through the best, everyone would keep looking at the HOT sellers and that niche would become saturated by close of play at the end of the week and you would constantly be looking for a new market to play in, am I right or?

Pro's like us never give away the secrets , its just that simple.

It will cost you if I have to tell you..........

I agree with that, I think hot sellers can give you ideas or steer an enquiry to a catagory you had not looked in to.

It is VERY easy to find suppliers, what is harder is getting the sort of prices that give you a good profit margin.

What margin do you want and what budget do you have?
