I've talked previously about using the eBay advance search to find out the value that items have been sold for.
I've used this, for example, to find the prices that may be possible for old book titles. Obtain a list of books for sale, from somewhere like a charity shop, and check the advanced eBay search to see if any of them are worth buying and selling on eBay.
Anyway, today a couple more ideas for making some money with eBay.
Firstly items that are listed but with spelling mistakes. These are likely to be sold for less money and attract fewer bidders - and thus could be re-sold for a profit.
A good way to find these is with the website fat fingers. It's easy to use. Simply enter an item, define what country eBay you want to search, and click.
In the example above I searched for Sylvac - a type of pottery - on UK eBay. The result was 27 misspellings of the word. Some were other manufacturers with similar names but there were enough items wrongly spelt to pick up bargains.
Perhaps goods found this way could actually be sold via free blogs. Haven't tried this myself but all things are possible.
The second suggestion, to make money with eBay, is by buying goods in quantity from auction houses or from the eBay's Wholesale and Job Lots site. These could then be split up and sold for profit. I know someone who even does this with multi-buys from a supermarket.
There are all sorts or money making ideas out there if we take the time to look. There are also over 30 more ideas on my post Lots Of Ways On How To Make Money.
Good luck,
Mike.
