What items to sell on eBay

[SaiJin]

You have a Pound store there in UK right? Buy some and charge 5 quits for your item.

Yeah. Pound stores are good I’m just going to one now to see. I also was looking at rechargeable batteries on amazon they’re few pounds cheaper on there and on eBay they’re bit high prices so I can start on batteries if I want buy some in bulk and put on eBay.

If your digital items are getting VeRo'd when you list them, selling some cheap pound shop junk is not going to stop that happening.

What makes you think that if I sell the pound junk I’ll still let suspended ?

[Ebayorbust]

If your listings for digital items are being removed because you don't have the authority to sell such items then selling pound shop crap for a week or two is not going to suddenly make those listings invisible to VeRo agents.

Selling pound shop items will certainly help you get the account established and minimise the risk of suspension that can result after creating the first few listings but that's all.

I would notbe surprised some of these so called Veros are robots.

The culture of the sellers' community really dictates the market model. I am not sure, but I think eBay.co.uk is dominated by Pakistanis, Indians & Chinese people who reside in the UK who drove prices down the toilet.

I often find UK sellers on Ebay USA,they have some nice items,UK has been around longer than US,some households may not be rich,but they inherited some nice antiques.

the way these liquidation site works is that they have connnection to buy from stores like WMT,BBY,SEARS etc returns,you dont get to choose ,they will say for $x amount,you get electronics,clothes,jewelry ,tools etc.
electronics is popular so you have to pay more,they dont sell in small lots,some will require you to have a warehouse dock to unload the pallets,if you live in a residential neighborhood,some may not allow trucks to load and unload,or ifyou live in an apt ,that is not possible,
but now you can get smaller shipment,if you have a garage ,you can just accept the shipment there.
smaller lots would cost more,if you can handle pallets of goods,you get them for less.
another place to get items cheap would be watching for store closure,if a near by Sears or WMT superstore is closing,some will go with a trailer or station wagon and buy as much as they can and list them on AMZN

What items do you sell ? Mp me if you don’t wanna say on the thread.

[nickopedia]

Right now I've got 4 new accounts that sell office supplies mostly from the Dollar Store. I "incubate" these new 5/500 accounts by listing things like pen sets, correction fluid, paperclips, etc. I list most of the items for very cheap, or in bundles for under $5.

My goal is to build sales history, which in my view is far more important than feedback. I want actual sales that go through PayPal, which always leads to limit increases and my ability to list more expensive items.

Some of the sale items in Asda can be resold for profit on eBay, you can use an app on your phone to scan the bar code and see what is selling for on eBay and Amazon, you can also do this in the big hardware stores that do big mark down on surplus stock.

Providing you do not use manufacturers images in your listing the likelihood of vero complaints is low.

The problem buying from Chinese sellers in China is that they also sell on Ebay and amzn,how can you compete with your supplier?
and they offer free shipping from China.
I found many UK sellers on Ebay USA selling vintage and antique items.
UK holds the largest antique show twice a year outside London,you may want to browse there.
There are always wholesale districts in major cities,I am sure there is one in London.

you can also run classified ads in local newspaper .

I found my best supplier in a local trade show in 2000,I have been doing business with them since then and made quite a bundle!
to offset the travel expenses,they will sell some low price items,I bought some and took them home.
Now they dont sell these low price items anymore,as people will buy them and call it a day,bypassing their expensive items!
