Hello everybody.
As previously stated, I am apart of the airsoft community.
This post is for all of you out there that are interested in starting your
own ebay business but aren't quite sure what to sell.
First of all you need a small investment.
I would say around $200-$500.
If you don't have this money lying around or if you can't scrap it up,
there are many ways to make money like free surveys or perhaps even a loan from your local bank.
A great way to make money without investment is dropshipping.
To dropship is basically to market an item for the supplier and earn commission.
So a seller like yourself would list an ad on ebay. A smart idea is to buy the item once from the supplier so you can take pictures, write a good descriptive ad, and have the knowledge to answer any questions. Then after you list the item on ebay, a buyer is found and the buyer pays you, say $70 for the item. You then pay the supplier the initial cost of the item at discounted retail price lets say $62.
You then send the information of the buyer to the supplier and then supplier takes care of the messy work, which is packaging, labeling, shipping. You earn the commission or profit of 8$.
Secondly, you need a paypal account.
www.paypal.com <-- you must verify your bank and preferably keep a credit card on file.
Next you need to find a product to sell. I personally have been from Ligthers to kids bow and arrow sets to household items. All of these are way to common in the market today. To sell these would be to compete against stores like Toys R Us and Walmart. This is not something easily done. So, what you need to do is come up with your own 'niche' or type of product. You need to consider the large companies out there, so try to pick something that is relatively new in the market.
I picked airsoft. Yes, sports authority may sell airsoft bb's or a few guns, but they don't nearly specialize in it enough to compete with ebay sellers.
Once you have your product, you need to find a supplier, think of a company name, create an ebay account, and your on your way. Simple right? Wrong.
You can tell i kind of rushed the last part of this post... this is basically because I'm very tired and losing my train of thought. So ill pick up a later date.
Again, i do distribute airsoft wholesale. If you consider airsoft as your 'niche' then please contact me. My prices vary depending on the item and quantity. But if you are serious in distribution I will give my best wholesale prices. They can vary from $2.00 a gun to $150.00 . A $2.00 gun can be sold up to $12-$14 which is a huge profit range.
