There are a number of sites out there that will sell you items to sell on eBay. The problem is eBay is usually flooded with these items, making it difficult to sell or make a profit. If you want to sell new items, try Liquidation.com which features lots of items such as wholesale tvs or other electronics as well as clothing, jewelry , housewares, etc.
Another tip is to look for free or almost free items that you can buy at CVS, Walgreens or other discount or drug stores. These items sometimes fetch a good price on eBay. For instance, Baby Magic Lotion, which has been discontinued is selling for good price.
Used items can also be a good money maker if you are willing to shop at flea markets and garage sales. For example, a vintage Graflex Flash Gun can sell in the hundreds of dollars. These flash guns are used by collectors to make authentic Star Wars light sabers.
To find how much an item is selling for on eBay, choose Advanced Search and click on completed items. This will show you what items have been sold (or not sold) and how much each item was sold for. This is a great tool for pricing your items as well.

You can find everything on Ebay, that’s for sure.

I am new to your blog, so you may have mentioned this already. It is sort of a no-brainer, but it is how I got started selling on Ebay. I started selling things I found around my house that I no longer wanted. I actually started on Half.com and sold books, VHS videos and CDs. That was easy because I only had to put in the UPC symbol to get the description and picture and then I just plugged my item in. I then moved to Ebay for the items Half.com didn’t cover-basically anything without a UPC symbol. I sold some craft stamps, magazines(that I was going to take to recycling-I made $30!) and clothes. Selling on Ebay seems hard at first, but once you make a few simple listing and sell something, it is such a rush! I now sell items on Ebay and Amazon full-time and make m living doing it.
