help starting ebay buisness

1jim

hi all
I have sold a few things on ebay recently and have got the bug, anyway i have some spare time and thought i would like to set up a small buisness working from home with a small stock level selling on ebay, i have found a wholesaler but wondered if anyone had any advice before i take the plunge, ie tax advice etc
thanks

Hey,

I know this sounds a bit negative but:

1) Be cautious

2) do not send out any items before you are paid

3) Every buyer is a potential scammer so make sure the funds have cleared into your account before u send anything.

4) Keep records of postage etc in the event of any problems

5) Make sure you have the product you are selling in your hands before you list it on ebay

6) Look at completed auctions for the items that you are selling and compare informationv (without copying) and listing and ending price and make sure you are making profit!

If i think of anything else i'll let you know!

Hope that helps,
