What Are The Best Items To Sell on Amazon?
Books, DVDs and CDs all three items sell well on Amazon and you can even save money on shipping since they all can be shipped media.
Selling on eBay/Half.com
eBay is the Big Dog, front runner, the well established one everybody knows unless they've been in a comma or under a rock forever and a day. You can buy and sell goods. You can sell anything you could possibly imagine.
"I started selling again on e-bay and I can say, it's really not what it use to be. I wouldn't reccommend it for smaller priced items, it's just to expensive."
For books, DVD’s and Music, there’s eBay’s sister site called Half.com. It’s works on pretty much the same principle that Amazon Marketplace. You list your stuff and they deposit the earnings into your checking account.
Listing on eBay is simple. Just get an account and start listing items. Once you’re a little established, you’ll be able to use Buy it Now, which is the best way to sell things on eBay. Your eBay account will work on Half.com and vice versa.
I highly recommend getting a PayPal account and only accepting that payment format. There are fraud protections built in and you won’t have to wait for a money order to come in the mail. You get the money right away and if you get a PayPal debit card you can use the money right away too.
Selling on Craigslist
Craigslist is perfect for all the crap you can’t sell on eBay or or Amazon.com. Craigslist has pretty much supplanted Newspaper Classified ads in every regard (jobs, stuff for sale, homes, etc).
The basis of Craigslist is personal interaction. You will have to meet the person you are selling to, so keep in mind that you should only sell things locally on Craigslist. Be careful of people e-mailing you and telling you they’ll send a money order or someone to pick up the item. This is almost always a scam. Accept cash and cash alone. That’s your only protection.
The best part of Craigslist is that it’s free. To sell on Craigslist, you don’t even need an account, just list the item and you’re good. Be careful not to give away your personal information in the ad, or you will get spammed.
