Make Money With eBay!

How to make money using eBay! How to make money from home:

There is a legitimate way to make money from home that I know of, without being ripped off, or investing a ton of money. Most people would not need to work from home if they had sufficient income to invest. Most people want to earn money from home as a second source of income.

The first way to make money from home is to start an eBay! business. You can start this with no money to invest.

Go to eBay! and open an account it’s free.

Then open an account with PayPal  this service is also free. The way I started was by selling junk around the house that I did not need or used. For example, I bought a new radar detector for my car, and I stored the old one. I had several x-box games that I didn’t play anymore, and I had a ton of basketball, football, and baseball cards that I had collected when I was a kid. I also use to play paintball, so I had many accessories and of course my paintball gun. My wife had some jewelry that was no longer in “style”, that she didn’t want anymore. eBay! is very easy to use and you don’t need to be a webmaster or have a degree in computing to set up your auctions.  eBay! guides you step by step as to how to set up your auction and even upload pictures of your stuff to their website. After I collected all the “junk” I didn’t want I began to list them on eBay! I had 154 items that I wanted to sell. I took me about a week to list everything working part time on this project after work for about 2 hours a day. When it was all set and done my auctions began to run. By uploading one picture and listing the auction for 5 days, I was billed .79 cents for each item that I listed, at 154 items I owed eBay $121.66. At this point, I thought it was a bad idea, since I had not made any money and already owed $121.66 to eBay! . At the end of the 5 days, my total auctions amounted to $1,526.35! Not bad for being “junk”, that I was going to throw out. Then the hard part was to ship all 154 items to their new owners. This didn’t cost me anything because eBay! has software that calculates shipping costs to the winning bidders. The buyer pays for shipping!  eBay!   does take a small commission of your earnings from the sale, but its worth it.

The way PayPal  works is they collect the payments for you. Other wise you have to setup a merchant account with a bank to take credit card payments. I analyzed this and wasn’t really cost efficient. You have to lease equipment, keep a certain amount of money and they charge you a processing fee. PayPal  takes the credit card payments for you and takes a small percentage of the sale. You can either have your money direct deposited into your bank account free, or you can request a check and they charge a fee for that. I had my money direct deposited into my account. At the end of the day, I had a total of $1258.58 direct deposited into my account. Not bad at all, but I will tell you that it takes some work and effort in your part to keep up with potential bidders e-mailing you questions, getting shipping info for them and etc. If you need further instruction post your comments on this websites discussion board, I check it quite frequently and I can answer most of your questions, if I cant answer it a user from this site will help you out.
