Making money on Ebay?

[arabianbull]

With eBay/payment/shipping fees it's pretty much impossible i've heard to resell bought eBay items.

true, thats why i have failed at it. eBay & PayPal take a large amount, even tho its owned by the same company, leaving you with little to no profit.

It isnt if you know what your doing. If not its hard. They take like 8% on all sales.

Buy wholesale, sell retail prices. (or lower obviously otherwise you may as well go to the shop >.<)

Hey, so i've heard from a few people that making money on ebay isn't too difficult. Thinking about it I'd have no clue where to start if I were to enter the ebay money making scene. So, does anyone have experience/understanding of how people make money off it?

Thanks.

Yes. I do it, but not on a huge scale, as I don't mainly use eBay, but I'm starting to a lot now. It's all about taking risks with wholesale purchases. I've made some good decisions and some bad decisions, but if the item wouldn't sell on eBay, I've just sold it wholesale again. For instance, over 40 mattresses, 20 tonnes of house tiles (still got approx 12tonnes, archiving the data currently), 100+ staircases in pieces, over 50 motorbikes (parts and all, had to sell 2 40ft containers full of parts wholesale though :/), and over 200 pairs of horseriding boots. Current purchase is approx 3-5 tonnes of nuts and bolts and lynch pins, with a load of plastic boxes to put them into sets on. Seeing as they only cost a small amount of what they're worth, and because I bought more than 200 plastic tray boxes, I got them all very cheap, and there's a large profit margin (approx 2500%). If you don't like taking risks, it's not for you.
