Please advise me in selling generic items.

nevermind.

Finding a product that sells well for a good price is not easy. It will take a ton of leg work. eBay is pretty much full to the rafters with cheap crap. So cheap its mind boggling how they make money

But if you set your mind to it, put aside a fair bit of time and dig dig dig you can get lucky and find something that works. Best thing [IMO] is something that is niche and maybe low volume. The opposite to an ipad cover.... But that means there are not 200 sellers all fighting to sell it for $1 more than they paid.

Scan the wholesale joints up and down. See what you can find. Again, if there are not a million people wanting to sell them, they are good for a fair price. Lots of its crap, but thats another story

Bottom line: It wont be easy. but you find a neat little product that isn't being sold by 1000 sellers you can rock the profits

I have very similar problems and would love to hear what everyone has to say.

Nice input pod, I appreciate it.

I have a few ideas where I can make decent profit, but it's all pretty high risk items.
More specifically, I'd be a target for free-loaders and scammers doing CC charge backs and PP disputes for non-receiving item. Also, eBay has a pretty awful digital item policy that limits you to classified ad listings.

All this crap against my account would lead to limitation, witch is not something I want. I have 3 very healthy power seller accounts that I'd like to hang on to for as long as I can.

Looks like I gotta keep digging for something physical.

A friend of mine does really heavy ticket scalping. He does extremely well. Although it helps that he works for ticketmaster... I've always wanted to get into that.

Dont go anywhere near anything like that. You cant win. Those duche bags will beat you down. Been there!If you are starting with fresh items, pick one the scammers dont want.

Yaa, I've been there too in the past. It was profitable, but my account ended up getting limited due to too many ⊗⊗⊗⊗ disputes.

*sigh*
