Has anyone on here made much extra income on ebay?

Hi there

I've done very well off ebay since joining in 2005. I mainly sell kids clothes, shoes and toys which always seems to sell really well, especially NEXT and other branded stuff.

Mobiles, leather handbags and ladies NEXT stuff is always a good seller.

Just lower your expectations and you won't be disappointed. Try to list on a reduced listing day.. and if you accept paypal as payment method then remember that paypal also charge you a percenage for using their service.

Always obtain proof of postage too.. then you have no comebacks should something not arrive at its destination.

I've got 351 feedback at 99.7%. Only got left one negative this time last year because some witch sold me a dodgy item, plus numerous others, and everybody persued their claims through paypal and won and she left everybody a negative before being banned. Hey ho, thats just the luck of the draw sometimes!

Give it a go, what have you got to lose!!

I have made a decent 2nd income on ebay, just look at what is currently selling on there and try and source some goods. Sell what you dont need, use or want anymore..

Hi.

Beware of sourcing or making things to sell on - that is considered trading and you may be liable to declare for tax. I believe (unless someone can correct me) that the tax office are not concerned with selling second hand items that you own and no longer want/need. That's the way it was explained to me.

We do quite well on Ebay when we do it - we tend to have phases and then get bored and have a break. I try to sell anything I no longer need eg clothes that don't fit, high heels I can't walk in but convinced myself I can, perfumes I didn't like etc etc and this pays for extra debt repayment or essentials such as car service, house maintenance etc and less-essentials such as xmas.

We have had good months - up to £600 sometimes. The other posters are right though, you do have to enjoy it.
