A great side-hustle that anyone can do is to make money using eBay. All you need is some unwanted items and you could end up making a nice bit of cash to pay for bills or to pay for a nice meal for the family.
#1 - How To Start
The first thing you will want to do is to take a look at all the unwanted items you have in your home.
The great thing about eBay is that you can sell almost anything. What you see as trash, other people will see as a treasure.
You can get rid of old clothes, old children's toys, books, CDs, DVDs.
You can even get rid of broken items because there are people who are looking to fix things or to sell on bits and pieces as spare parts.
#2 – Take Good Photos
The most important thing about getting rid of your old stuff on eBay is that you take pictures that look appealing.
You want to ensure that you present the item in a way that it can be clearly seen in the picture. Make sure that there is good light.
If you can, go outside and take the pictures, using natural sunlight. This makes items look so much better.
Take more than one picture. Get different angles, the front, the back and close-ups of any special details that you want to highlight.
If, for example, you are selling an item of clothing, you might want a close-up of the designer label.
#3 – Make Sure Clothing is Clean & Ironed
If you are selling clothing, be sure that the items are laundered and ironed.
A crushed and soiled item of clothing is not going to appeal to anyone and you would be wasting your time taking photos of them.
Think about what your first impression would be and aim for the best presentation possible.
#4 – Set a Starting Price You Are Happy With
You have a choice of pricing your items at a fixed amount or you can allow bids. The bidding system is the most popular option.
The most important thing is that if you choose this option, you do not set your starting price too low. You want to be sure that you are happy to sell at whatever is bid.
If you know that the bag that you want to sell is worth over $200, you do not want to set the bid at something like 99 cents because if it only sold for $10, you might be disappointed. Choose a price that you are happy with.
Selling your unwanted stuff on eBay is a free and easy way to make money on the side. There are many people who are actually making a full-time living from this.
Give it a try and see if you like it. You never know, you might just get bitten by the eBay selling bug and find yourself with a burgeoning online business.

"You are a life Saver!!
I recently discovered this site and I can tell you that my life has not been the same. I now come here EVERYDAY and spend at least 1 hour.
I used to spend that time browsing online fashion and beauty
magazine which just means that I spend more. Now I have replaced that
habit with coming here.
In future I will think about contributing articles as well. Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!!! and God bless"
