Ebay Basics - What to Sell

With over 1000 categories, you can sell virtually anything on eBay. But choosing what to sell can often be overwhelming. My advice is to look first to your own hobbies and interests, because the most successful sales pitch ALWAYS COMES FROM THE HEART. It sounds corny, but it is TRUE. If you don't believe in what you're selling, and you aren't willing to stand behind your product, your online business will certainly fail. You should never sell a product that you aren't enthusiastic about, or else you should be able to fake your enthusiasm better than a Hollywood actor. Either way, you must pass on the positive energy about your product to the consumer. This applies not only on eBay but throughout "marketing land" in general, both online and offline.
It is true that some things sell better than others. Information and software are particularly hot sellers because almost all computer users are pre-qualified for those products. In other words, the fact that they are using a computer means they need software, and the fact that they are using the Information Superhighway means they are already looking for information! Selling to a pre-qualified market can be very profitable, but you must be enthusiastic about what you're selling or it will surely fail. Once again, YOU SHOULD ONLY SELL A PRODUCT THAT YOU ARE EXCITED ABOUT. That is the absolute best advice I can give you with regards to online marketing in general!
If this step is a difficult one for you, then at the end of this Ebay section we will have a list of places where you can get the best products and at the best prices.
