NEED IDEAS FOR SELLING ON EBAY

Find Your Niche On Ebay

Are you pulling your hair out trying to figure out what to sell on Ebay? I had even thought about giving up on selling. I had sold everything that I could find laying around my house and made some good money. Now I was hooked on selling, but I had ran out of stuff to sell.

After much thought I decided to pick a specific Niche and stick with it. By focusing on one specific niche you can target a certain group of people and fine tune your ebay business. I am not saying only sell in one specific niche but rather pick a few and stay in those niches. I started selling archery supplies, which by the way sold surprisingly well. Actually I did zero research on archery supplies. I had some stuff at my house that I no longer used, so I stuck it on ebay and it sold really well.

I would advise anyone to look for niches that relate to the areas that they live in. People in some regions may have access to stuff that people in other places can't find. These types of items seem to sell very well. Don't be afraid focus on one particular type of item. I dabble in antiques from time to time and I will buy every antique oil lamp that I can get my hands on. They are good sellers and bring fair prices. I don't sell any other type of lamps.

If you have a hobby or particular interest then look for items that relate to that hobby. If you are selling items that you use and enjoy then you can have a lot of fun with it. It makes it much easier to answer peoples questions when you know what you are talking about. On a final note choose a niche that interests you and that offers you plenty of items to sell.

Jaybo ~ I agree, niche market is the way to go. I have a friend who sells old pocket knives and does really well. Another sells fishing lures . . .another scuba gear and Shimano biking shoes. They don't fish, scuba or bike but are officiandos about their product. Thanks for the suggestions!
