Alice, your suggestion regarding buying items in the wrong category interests me. Never heard of that before. I might look into that. :)

Yeah, it's a big deal because people don't take the time to find where items belong. Probably part due to the learning curve of new sellers and the extremely large number of categories available on ebay. Combining the two causes lots of items in the wrong place. I hear there are people that make their living doing this.

Really? I hope I can too. :D

I've already tried looking around, learning how to go about it. But I'm not too sure if I'll make any good profit, being an Ebay non-expert myself. I'll let you know how it goes. :)

Check out the eBay message boards. There are often threads on items that are very popular (and get good prices) on eBay that you can find at the thrift store or Goodwill store. I have a friend who is a SAHM and she makes a ton of money selling stuff on eBay that she buys at Goodwill.

You just have to find a niche, as someone said. That's the thing about this, to really make money at it, you have to put some time and effort into your research and into buying your stock.

I tried it for a short while, but didn't have the patience to really get it going.

I sell on ebay sometimes but I havent made a lot of money. I am still trying to find something good to sell. Thanks for that tip r8rpwr, I will start looking at the good will. I have heard of people making 3 figure incomes just by selling on ebay.
