The Best Way To Make Money On Ebay With Mini Storage Auctions

Are you as surprised as I am to discover that the best way to make money on ebay is with mini storage auctions?  Mini storage auctions happen all the time when people leave their items in storage and the storage facility has to sell the held items to get back their storage fees.

Oftentimes you can find some really killer deals here.  The trick is then to turn those goods around and sell them for even more than you paid for them on EBay.

EBay is the best online auction site available online and now with Buyer protection, more people than ever are buying items from E-bay.

When reselling merchandise you purchased from a storage unit auction, it is important to keep fees in mind.  You are charged multiple fees for selling on eBay.  These fees will cut into your profits, but there are some ticks that you can use.  Study the eBay fee scale, which is available on their website.

Pictures are critical when selling on eBay.  Consumers won’t buy products they can’t see.  Be sure to take lots of pictures, and upload the best ones.  Be aware that eBay will charge you a fee if you post more than one picture.  To get around this, use free photo sharing websites.  Then you may upload your extra photographs to those websites.  Once there you get a code that lets you embed the photographs into you eBay descriptions, free of charge!

Ebay is the most popular online marketplace, averaging over 66 million views per month.  It has many security features in place to protect the buyer and the seller.  Millions of consumers check out eBay looking for affordable merchandise to buy.  This most definitely will work to your advantage.  Your sales items will more than likely get more views, especially if you compare it to setting up a table or spot at a local flea market.  And if you live in the country as I do, a yard sale and/or a garage sale are simply out of the question.

This popularity can also work to your disadvantage.  Since many people see it as a way to make a quick buck or two so they inundate the site with cheap items.  Before you go online to sell anything on Ebay, it’s best to check out the competition and to list your items for sale at different times.

You will also want to take the holiday seasons, and the calendar into consideration.  Remember that people spend less time on the computer in the summer so it’s best to sell some merchandise in the off seasons.  For instance selling winter clothes in summer’s not a good idea, but if you want until fall you’ll have a better chance.

eBay is a great place to start for mums with an online busienss. All you need to get started is a computer, a digital camera, some digital scales and a supply of packing materials. Mumpreneurs can easily start their business empires on eBay and go on to have their own very successful online store.
