Many eBay sellers started out by selling items around the house and garage they no longer needed. This is a great way to start selling on eBay. There is no initial cash outlay, and you have ready-made inventory. You will probably be surprised to find out what will actually sell on eBay – just about everything!

Once you start thinking about getting started as an eBay seller, look around your house for items you can easily photograph, package and ship. Many items such as handbags, books, CD’s and DVD’s are very easy to mail. Other items such as televisions, furniture, and anything too large to pick up easily are difficult to package and ship. As a beginner eBay seller, it is recommended that you stick with easy-to-package items.
