ive noticed that quite a few of u sell things on ebay wot do u sell and do u actually make money out of it.

I have sold just about everything on there from clothes to electrical items.

Best thing is if you have something to sell check out on there if others the same are selling.

Yes I have made cash on there and you can make quite a bit if you are willing to put the time and effort in.

On the past year we have easily made around £1000 from ebay, selling just things we already own. Froms cds to musical instruments.

I totally agree with doodledo except that I listed just about everything that I could think of that I did not actually rely on for survival whether or not other people were selling them but I spent a lot of time with the help of my sister on wording my listing carefully and making it look nice as well as adding a few pictures of the actual item as well which does cost slightly more to do but in my experience was totally worth it because everything from furniture to decorative items to jewellery all sold and made good profits for me.

I'm with most of the others on here. I have sold clothes, shoes, CD's, old games consoles, and whatever else I have found lying round the house that isn't used and can be sold for a quid or two! :j

I think I'm going to give this a go too - my loft is about to cave in with all the stuff in there - I think the hardest part is getting started

Definately hard to get started and get the photographs done etc but once you see the money coming in its definately an incentive to keep going.

Good luck

we where really really struggling in february. Off I went into the kids rooms and ours and dug out as much as possible. Made £250.00 in a space of 2 - 3 weeks . So chuffed., Since then I have made round about £30.00 each month. I could do one now but I am waiting as we go big items and I would rather take this to a bootsale.

I've made £45 this week from selling my old clothes :-)

To start with I'd only stick to selling cheap items, or stuff you think will only go for cheap!

If you have a low rating people will be less inclined to bid on your items so if you start selling more expensive items you could be limiting the profits you could make.

Don't you have to have a credit card to get people who buy things to put them on?? if it goes straight into the bank my overdraft would swollow it up LOL?
