What Do I Sell On eBay?
By far the most popular question I hear from entrepreneurs stating to sell on eBay is “what do I sell?” That is a question that if you can properly answer, you’ll have success on eBay. What’s my answer? I’ll tell you in a minute. First, I need to explain why it’s so easy to get stuck here. (Don’t worry, I’ve been there too.)
I believe it’s because eBay is such a product-focused business. You buy product at a discount, you sell product at a profit. Buy low, sell high. Simple model, right? You’re probably saying, “yeah, I know that,” but hear me out.
Someone who gets stuck here is the same type of person who might get stuck figuring out which stock to buy in the stock market. It’s the same model, right? Buy a stock low, sell it high. Buy inventory low, sell it for more on eBay.
Let’s think about what makes a really successful stock trader. Successful stock traders know which stocks are going to go up. They look at what the market is doing right now. They’ll look at the current stock price and then make the decision.
A good trader will tell you that they aren’t looking at one particular stock all the time. Instead, they are looking for certain qualities to find the next great stock. They know what those qualities are and then they train themselves to look for those qualities. They filter through the thousands of options to find the real winners. You need to do the same thing on eBay. You need to know what to look for and then always be looking for it.
What’s the key ingredient to find products? By far, it’s having the mindset. You need the training to see the opportunities. Once you can recognize opportunities, you’ll be prepared for them when they arrive. There are literally countless products all around you that you can sell. You just can’t see them yet. The main thing you need to do is to get yourself in that “seller’s mindset” so you can.
But I haven’t completely answered the original question: “What do I sell on eBay?”
Let’s say you have very little eBay experience right now. If you don’t know what to sell, don’t stress. What you can do is get up and running first. Take a look around your house and see if there is any stuff you don’t need. Check your attic, basement, and closets. Instead of having a yard sale, see if you can sell it on eBay. As soon as you get selling, you’ll gain experience and start to build your feedback ratings. Then, you can learn to cultivate that “seller’s mindset.
