$2,000 profit in 9 days. Took the plunge finally and started selling on ebay.

On the first day I hit 15 orders.
Every day since I'm getting at least 5 orders a day and I'm talking a range of my packages I sell. The best part is, it's all online services that don't need physical handling or whatever else there is.

For all those warriors who are thinking where they can sell their products, think about ebay. It only costs $0.50 per listing fee and the profits can be enormous.

Yes, it's quite a b*t*h that ebay rips the 11% off your earnings but then again you gotta start somewhere and ebay is the major marketplace with hundreds of thousands of willing buyers, pocket full of cash, looking to spend on something.

Don't wait around thinking about the 'what if' and 'what nots', if you think you have something you can sell, go for it. Either it works or doesn't.

It only costs you $0.50 to list and I'm pretty sure you could bite back $0.50 on buying that pack of chewing gum from Walmart.

P.s. biggest hint to sell on eBay, get a US Account. You get 50 free listings on ebay to start.

    Great job finding a way to leverage eBay. It's nice when you can take advantage of a site getting the insane traffic they do!

    I'm impressed that you can make money offering services on ebay.. that site has gone downhill a lot and it seems things in the non-physical realm, such as websites, domains, etc, sell for pennies on the dollar. Is that not your experience?

    Congrats on your massive profits. I have been contemplating eBay for a long time because I know it is so profitable but I am not really sure on what to start selling. Do you think that eBooks would work?

    I wouldn't post what you're selling, specifically, if I were you. Most people will use it as inspiration or a jumping off point for their own ideas, true, but you run the risk of some turd copy-pasting your business and taking a lot of your sales.

    Congrats!

    Yes,, I too used ebay to make a descent living. For those of you that want to know, I would get cell phones from China and sell them all around the world. You can pay to get listed at the top, which is what I did and the sales shot up.

    But,,,,! When I delt with a few thousand dollars at a time, ebay made me wait for like 30 days to get my profits and I really hated that aspect of it. I like to get my profits faster than ebay wanted,, so I stopped. Tied up too much money, even tho my money doubled.

    I never thought about using ebay for business purposes. Now that you announced the vast possibility of how profitable it really is, I am going to add this marketing method to my profits list. Thanks for the post
