How to Start Earning on eBay - By: Pete Egeler

Almost every single day, on almost every forum that you visit, you still seethe same question cropping up.

"I want to start selling on eBay.. Where can I buy products wholesale."

WRONG!

You don't need to start out on eBay with a ton of products from some whole-sale source, only to find nobody wants them and you've got a house full.

In the first place, if you're just starting out on eBay you want to keep all of your expenses at a bare minimum. Don't go overboard buying things you donot need.

Look around you. Find something you don't want or need any more, and putit on eBay for sale.

You want to get a "feel" for how the auctions work, what draws visitors to yourparticular auction, and how you can make your next auction better.

By starting out with something you have that you no longer want or need, you don't have anything tied up in a product that may not sell. And, you have the luxury of "testing" a couple of different ad approaches without spending an armand a leg.

Bottom line.. Don't buy anything until you've tested the waters to discover if eBayis really for you.

By following the above tip, you can test a couple of different items on eBay, and have no more than a dollar or two tied up in your efforts.

Beats the heck out of a garage full of "widgets" that you can't even give away.
