When an item is placed on e-bay it has a set price it must reach or it doesn’t sell. The purchaser has to pay the cost of the item plus any shipping cost before the item is sent. My sister and her husband sell parts for old cars to people all over the world and have made a fairly good profit. He buys old vehicles, removes and cleans any usable parts, takes digital photos of the items, posts, and waits for the bids. They generally make the money back for the cost of the old vehicle in the first item or two sold and the rest is pure profit.
Hi – I sell on eBay. I profit about $3,500 a month. eBay has been my full time job for 4 years, and I have sold over 12,000 items. I also teach eBay classes.
I find items at second hand stores, garage sales, clearance sales, estate sales, and consignment stores to resell on eBay. Some of the items are used, some are new. You can start by selling items you already have, and learn the process and decide if eBay is for you.
Do you have a skill that’s in demand? I know people who sell services like web design or graphic design. Other people sell handmade items like jewelry, customized baby items, or craft items. There are many ways to earn a living on ebay, either part-time or full-time.
Please email me directly at if I can answer any specific questions.

Get tickets to sporting events and concerts that you know are going to sell out and then put them up on Ebay.
