Sell your unwanted stuff
Most people start making money on eBay by gathering their unused items and selling them on eBay. All of us have these kinds of items laying around the house, garage or in the attic. A lot of those items are not going to be used any way and probably will be thrown away any way. So, why not sell them on eBay and make a little extra money no matter how small.
Offer your services on eBay
You don’t necessarily have to be an experienced web designer or a fortune teller to make money on eBay. Look deeper, there must be something, a talent, or some kind of knowledge that you possess that many people might be willing to pay you for. A simple example would be offering people who have a lot of stuff to sell on eBay, but don’t have the time to do it themselves, or don’t know how to do it, to sell their stuff on eBay for a commission. These people could be your friends, family, neighbors or anyone else for that matter.

There are whole seller in almost any category you can imagine. You can buy a product that usually costs $10, for $2 if you buy in bulk. Choose a product that is hot and find a wholesaler. Buy in bulk for cheap and turn around and sell them on eBay for a profit.
Use drop shipping

Its not that easy to find legitimate drop shipping companies, but when you do, it is so easy to make money with it. You don’t have to deal with anything like handling, shipping, processing, returns and etc. You simply list the items on eBay and drive potential buyers to your listing When they buy a product, you get your commission. Simple as that!

Hey CJ, Thanks for your comments. It really does suck having the spammers spamming the blog nonstop. I even have the Akismet plug-in that catches a lot of these scams, but some get through any way, which I usually delete as soon as I see them But, the problem specially with the older posts is that you kind of forget about them and dont see them much often, so the spams stay there. But, thank to the comments of people like you, I get informed and can delete these spams. I just wish people would take the time to read and leave a relevant comment, that way we all could benefit. I get a good comment on the post, you as a reader might learn something from the comment, and the commenter can get a backlink that will stay there forever. But, sadly many people think there is a short cut and they dont care if the step all over other people to get to where they want to get to. Thanks CJ.
I’ll probably try drop shipping and integrate that to my other marketing plans…
I believe you have good knowledge on drop shipping how-tos, can you please point me to some links where I could further research drop shipping methods?
Thanks and good luck in keeping the spammers off.

I agree with CJ. One way to make money on ebay is to utilize craigslist where people are requesting services or wanting to buy specific items. Using these two together will help you get more customers paying you.
