What Do I Sell On eBay?

By far the most common question I hear when someone starting out is “what do I sell on eBay?” What’s the best answer to that question? I’ll tell you in a minute. Before I can answer that, let me explain why a lot of people get stuck here. (I’ve been there too, it’s an easy place to get stuck.)

The main reason why this is such a roadblock is because eBay is a product-centered business. You need to have something to sell or you won’t be in business. You need to buy product at low cost and sell higher. It’s a simple model, and you’re probably saying “yeah, I know that.” Listen for just a minute.

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.

So what’s the number one way to find products? Without question, it’s having the proper mindset. You need to train yourself to see the opportunities. Learn the principles of finding good products. Once you can recognize good products, you’ll be ready for them. The fact is that there are literally products all around you that you can use, if you know how to look. You just need the “seller’s mindset” to be able to recognize them.

Maybe you still don’t know what to sell on eBay yet.

If you’re absolutely brand new to eBay, you need to get started before you worry about what you sell. My recommendation? Look close to home. Is there an area of your house that is cluttered? Check your attic, closets, or basement. Instead of having a yard sale, see if you can sell it on eBay. You’ll start to build your feedback ratings. You’ll gain valuable experience as an eBay entrepreneur. Then, cultivate that “seller’s mindset.
