That is a very difficult question. It all depends what you can source cheaply enough to make a profit on.
I change my stock a lot and I spend quite a lot of time watching other sellers, watching what is selling on the High Street and watching for trends.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the eBay, Auctions, Car Boot & Jumble Sales, Boost Your Income, Praise, Vents & Warnings, Overseas Holidays & Travel Planning , UK Holidays, Days Out & Entertainments boards.

The best things to sell are items that you can get to sell at a good price, whilst making a profit, that people will want to buy, you just need to research that for a while and you'll be quids in..0

Would you like me to give you the name and address of the suppliers that I use?summertreats wrote: »hi i was just wondering whats the best things to sell on ebay as mine is dying down at the moment
They are very very cheap and I get a really good mark up on them....every item is in high demand too. You cant really go wrong with them. Light weight, easy to pack and post. Excellent!
Its taken me several years of market research, a loss of great amounts of money from trial and error and I have a few grey hairs from stressing about it all but finally I have reached the postion of being able to virtually sit back and let the pennies roll in, so just let me know eh and I will happily hand you all the information you need to be in competition with me.0 -
I am sure lots of Ebay sellers will come on here and tell you - so you can then go ahead and compete with them (you didn't send Soolin a message did you?)
But as Soolin says - what sells well today, will often run its course and die down, as you have found. If you have an idea - just check completed listings for a good indicator if the items are sort after.0 -

I know quite a few sellers on ebay, both business and private ones, and they all say it's very quiet there now. The business sellers are selling elsewhere now - ebay apparently give them a rough time and are very unfair - and they're just not making enough money to make the whole thing worth it.
They all sell different items to each other too. So it seems to be across the board.0
