  • Congrats on great feedback.

    Have you got any tips for us lesser mortals?

    I have just started nearly upto 100 feedback and I was quite proud of that.

    If you don't mind me asking are you buying to sell? I am on maternity leave at the moment and on the six month bit with no pay so looking for ways to make a bit of money. I have dabbled a bit into buying goods to sell on ebay, haven't found a magic item yet that will make me a fortune but I am still looking.

    I've nearly cleared my house of all the pre-baby clutter that I thought I needed and now filling it from ebay with post-baby clutter!

    Thanks JPS...

    Hi Noodleoodle, tips are difficult as I am probably the worst person to know what sells well. I sell a mixture of second hand goods that I pick up, but mainly new things that I get from various sources. I try out a few ideas, see what sells and then buy more.

    I had a good run just before Christmas, the items I was selling just kept running and running, but finally the market died just after Christmas. I am experimenting with new things at the moment just to see what people want.

    I keep it all very simple as well, I take paypal on all my auctions and I post out within 24 hours of payment. Other than that it is just trial and error.

    I am not actually a big seller, it has taken several years to get to the 1000 (I have about 500 on other accounts as well, again all positive), I also think luck plays a big part.

    Soo
