subject: How to Make Money with Online Auctions [print this page] Are people really making money by selling their stuff on online auction sites like eBay? Yes, they actually are, but it sounds a lot easier then it is. Here is a list of how people like you and me, and small businesses, are making a killing off online auctions.
Truth be told, you are not going to get rich by selling the stuff that is sitting around in your house. Unless you happen to find some rare item or collection, it would be hard to make a decent amount of money with your household products.
- Getting Rid of the Costs of Owning a Real Store
One of the absolutely best reasons to bring your business online and to sell through online auctions, is because it eliminates the need to own an actual store. If you have inventory, you can hold everything in the house, but there is no need to pay a high monthly cost just to "look official". The majority of big sellers with eBay and other auction sites, run their business out of their home or a small home office.
If you have done any research for selling your product or goods through online auctions, you may already be seeing competitors in your same niche. If this is the case, it's important to see how much they are selling their product for. A great majority of power sellers are getting their products very cheap, and at wholesale prices when they are buying in bulk from countries like China and India. If you are going to sell through online auctions, make sure you can compete against other online auctioneers in your same market.
It's not impossible to make good money selling through online auctions, but it does take a lot of work. It's easity to break into a niche and sell something more original and less available, and find success, then trying to sell something anyone could buy at their local mall. Keep looking around, studying the competition and testing what works.
