If you want to start an eBay business, you may have asked yourself how do I start selling on eBay? Right? The Internet offers you a wealth of information on how to start up an eBay business. In fact, too much information. I will try to concisely provide that information here as well as refer you to the resources that I have used.

I have been selling on eBay (as well as buying) for 10 plus years. I have learned a lot of how to sell on eBay. I have found out what the best sellers on eBay are. There are selling on eBay tutorials that I have used. Some great some not so much. I know the best time to start as well as end an auction. I know what price-point to begin my auctions as well.

If you already know what you are going to sell you are ahead of the game. If not, start by looking around your house and sell items you no longer need. Toys your kids no longer play with, a collection of some sort that is just gathering dust, do you have some old quilts? Anything and everything sells on eBay. To be a successful eBay seller you need to be able to take a good picture of your item and describe it accurately. Creating a good listing is the key to success. Once you have your item you are going sell, it is pretty straightforward on how to set up your account and begin selling. EBay has a standard template that walks you through all the steps. Just don't be tempted to buy all the bells and whistles they are going to try and offer you while setting up your item to sell. Simple is better and this will only take away from your profits.

Before I mention anything else I have to mention Skip McGrath: the King of eBay. I love his information and you can go here, how to start an eBay business, to get it. Him and his wife have been in the business of starting businesses on eBay for 20 plus years. They know what they're talking about.

There are also services out there that will help you create a professional looking listing. Most of these sites are reasonably priced. I have used Auctiva myself and have had good success with it.

Once you have posted your listing you can sit back and wait the 7 days, the best amount of time I believe to time your auction, and watch it sell. You are now on your way to start selling on eBay.
