It's impossible to know exactly how many full time sellers there are on eBay, but one estimation was that 75,000 people in the U.S. alone make their living on eBay. And of those that don't make a living there, there are thousands and thousands more that contribute half their household's income or bring in a part-time income. So how do they do it?

eBay can be a tough road. There are a few shortcuts, but none make it truly easy. It's still a matter of 1. finding items to sell 2. getting those items listed 3. making sales 4. getting the items shipped and 5. creating a good seller-customer relationship that will bring that customer back again and again.

The biggest problem people have is finding items to sell. There are a lot of people out there selling "wholesale" or "dropshipping" lists to those wanting to sell. The problem with these is that the eBay market is absolutely glutted with these items. You can no longer buy a dropshipping list, throw up some listings, collect the money, and have a company send the items out. Every company that dropships has been circulating on a hundred lists for years, and all of the items are offered for sale for the cheapest possible price- and sometimes even at a price that loses the seller money in a misguided attempt at gaining feedback. There is no money to be made by doing this, except by those selling these lists.

Finding items takes time and effort. Getting items listed, however, isn't difficult. All of the bells and whistles you've probably seen on so many auctions are completely unnecessary. A simple listing is best- tell what the item is and why people should buy it. Anything more is a waste of their buyer's time.

Sales come from well listed items using the right keywords. And once those sales are made, the items should be shipped out in a timely manner and with adequate protection to guide it's journey through the mail. But after the sale has been made, there are more opportunities for you to keep your customers. eBay relies heavily on it's give and take system of feedback, favorite seller lists and newsletters. Learn how to use these to your advantage and you'll have customers coming back again and again.
