There are many articles describing what to sell on ebay, and there are even a few articles telling you what you shouldn't sell. I have compiled a short list of items that have brought me guaranteed money each and every time I get back into selling on ebay.

1. Stuff you get for free

Not everything you get for free will bring you a profit. It is important that you first do a search on ebay to find similar items. Then you list your items for cheaper. An excellent place to get free stuff (other than the side of the road) is Craigslist. This website has an entire section of items people are giving away for free, right in your own neighborhood. Often the items are full boxes that are leftovers from garage sales or flea markets. Whatever proves to be useful has cost you nothing more than the listing fees.

2. Dropship

Most dropship websites charge you a fee for joining and aren't worth it. IWDSC.com is a dropshipper that I have made money from without joining their membership. Becoming a member has its perks, as you will receive even lower costs for the items. It is not necessary for selling on ebay. I simply do a search for the items on ebay and put mine in a category that has none of the items in it. For example, I once listed multiple cast iron pans in the camping section because almost everyone had them listed under kitchen supplies. I sold many of these without ever even having to go to the post office myself. I listed the items using the picture from iwdsc.com and calculated shipping by placing it my cart on their site. I made an average of $5 - $8 per item this way, even though I did not have a membership. I even charged a little extra for shipping since IWDSC does not list any costs on their products when sending them to the buyer. Considering you are doing basically none of the work I think this is an excellent way to build up some quick cash.

3. Coupons

Takeaways
  • Making money on ebay is easier than you think.
  • Always research your item on ebay before listing it.
  • Look for name brands and anything older than 20 years as potential ebay sellers.

Cool, but isn't it a small pot in the long run? I mean too much work for too little payout?
