So you want to be a successful seller with your own eBay business, do you? Here’s
a simple, ten-step path to eBay enlightenment.
Step 1: Identify your market.
Take a while to sit and watch for what sells and what doesn’t out of the items
you’re interested in. Any market research data you can collect will be very useful
to you later on. You’ll probably see the ’sweet spots’ quite quickly - those one or
two items that always seem to sell for a good price.
Step 2: Watch the competition.
Before you invest any money, see what the other sellers in your category are up
to, and what their strategies are. Pay special attention to any flaws their auctions
might have, because this is where you can move in and beat them at their own
game.
Step 3: Find a product.
Get hold of a supplier for whatever it is you want to sell, and see what the best
rates you can get are - don’t be afraid to ring round quite a few to get the best
deal. If the eBay prices you’ve seen are higher than the supplier’s, then you’re set.
Step 4: Start small.
Don’t throw thousands at your idea straight away - get started slowly, see what
works and what doesn’t, and learn as you go. Remember that it’s very cheap to try
out even the craziest ideas on eBay, and who knows, they might just work!
Step 5: Test and repeat.
Keep trying different strategies until you find something that works, and then
don’t be ashamed to keep doing it, again and again. The chances are that you’ve
just found a good niche.
Step 6: Work out a business plan.
A business plan doesn’t need to be anything formal, just a few pages that outline
the market opportunity you’ve spotted, your strategy, strengths and weaknesses
of the plan and a brief budget. This is more for you than it is for anyone else.
Step 7: Invest and expand.
This is the time to throw money at the problem. Buy inventory, and start
spending more time on your business. Set a goal number of sales each week,
increasing it each time.
Step 8: Make it official.
Once you’ve made a few thousand dollars worth of sales, you should really
register yourself as a business. Don’t worry, it’s not expensive or hard to do - a
lawyer is the best person to help you through the process.
Step 9: Automate.
You’ll probably find that you’re writing the same things again and again in emails
or item descriptions. This is the time to give up on the manual method and turn
to automated software that can create listings for you, and respond to completed
auctions and payments with whatever message you provide.
Step 10: Never give up.
Even when it looks like it’s all going wrong, don’t stop trying until you succeed. If
you keep working at it then you’ll almost always find that you make a real
breakthrough just when things are starting to look desperate.
Once you get into the swing of things, you might start thinking that you should
quit your job and take up eBay selling part time. But it’s not always as easy as that
- there are all sorts of factors that you need to consider. The next email will weigh
up the case for and against taking up eBay full-time.

Well, I just do the usual stuff on Ebay, selling cards (ex Yugioh, Magic the Gather, and World of Warcraft tcg), the problem is i could sell some and gain some profit but eventually I will loose all of them, and I dont want that to happen. So is there a way to gain income on ebay without losing any of your items?
And lesson on ebay cost something, so can someone give me an advice in earning money without linking me to an Ebay lessons that will cost me something?
Thanks for the answers 
Hi - I am a Powerseller and sell 300+ items a month. Have been selling on eBay since 2003 and have sold 12,000 items worldwide.
You can find lots of items at yard sales, estate sales, moving sales, surplus stores, salvage liquidators, thrift stores, etc to resell on eBay. That is where all of my items come from.
I am interested in your comment about "lessons on eBay cost something." Well, you are right. If you wanted to take a piano lesson, you’d be hard pressed to find a free teacher. Same with horseback riding, computer training, auto repair, or photography. Lessons cost money no matter what you are learning. People’s time is money.
