Can anyone tell me how to start a "REAL" profitable "at home" EBAY business? I need serious help & ideas.Thx. I've read books, asked different people, but they all just do it to clean out their home or office as a way to get rid of junk. I am a crafter, and have been selling fabric and other craft items, with a good thought process, but after listing things for a couple of months and putting the effort into this, I've sold about $500 but that's about it. I seem to be spending way more time and money than other people are and they make lots and lots of money. The people who contact me and my feedback comments speak for themselves that I know how to do it, I'm just not finding the right selling "nitch" I need to have continuous sales. Any suggestions on finding the right products, where to find them, and any tips to turn my little at home business around with a profit??? I would appreciate EVERYONE'S help. Thanks.

I want to start my own eBay business. What should I sell? Where can I buy wholesale? I have been using eBay regularly now for at least a few years. I buy almost everything online these days, and about 80% of it comes from either eBay or half.com.

Here are some of my own ideas: -Victoria's Secret merchandise -skincare/beauty products -high-end fashion/shoes These are all things I know a little about. But how do I get started?
Your thoughts on this potential eBay business idea? I know it's important to do business where you have an interest and passion, but also to make sure you find your niche market... Now I know not every human wants to watch classic NBA games, but I was wondering, since I'm a huge NBA fan (and I'm sure there are others out there), I was thinking of putting my NBA game collection on DVDs (individual games) and selling them on eBay. This is for everyone who enjoyed the entertainment from basketball in the 1990s and so far this decade. I have recorded a lot of games and I feel there might be people out there who would like to relive the exciting moments of these great games. I can simply record them from VHS to DVD with great quality. I don't really see any items on this...Thanks in advance for your thoughts and insight!

I want to start an online business (ebay). Where can I find catalogs with products I can buy? I would prefer NOT to deal with wholesellers online, but rather via mail. (Online would work, but I don't trust it as much) I had a catalog recently that sold every item you can imagine at wholesale (watches...hats...party supplies...clothes) but I have NO IDEA where it went or what the name of the company was. Any info is appreciated. no, not overstock. this is why I say not online companies. there is no savings at overstock. compare the prices they offer with prices sellers have on ebay, and you will see how much higher they are. the key point is i need to buy in bulk, cheap, then be able to resell.

Ebay business? I want to open a computer business on ebay eventually. I'm a computer engineering student in college and I'm always looking for a way to earn extra money. I love building computers so I thought maybe I could build computers and sell on ebay for a small profit 75 to 100 dollars per computer. I know this idea is far from new and many people do this but is there a way I can get a steady secondary income off of this? Does this sound feasible? I am sure I can do about 10 computers a week so thats probably 3000 a month in profit if I get steady customers. Any tips or ideas? Is there a way I can buy parts cheaper from newegg or tigerdirect with some kind of deal? If I were to do this, how do I obtain any tax or licensure? if it gets successful I can do 10 computers a week but I'd start off with 1 then 2 ect. until I can build enough money to fund further computers
Ebay Business? I would like to start a business selling on Ebay. I jus can think of any products that should sell well. Does anyone have good ideas?
Need some business ideas...? Okay... so here's the scoop. I am very creative and have tons of customer service experience. I've worked at alot of call centers, front desk for several hotels, and even worked as a travel agent for about a year. My man is starting up his own business soon, and we both think it would be awesome for me to launch a business of my own around the same time. I need some ideas to look into. I don't mind taking a few classes to get a license or certificate, but college probably won't work for me. I also don't want to have an online business. If I change my mind, Ebay will always be there :) I've got a 9 month old and we are probably moving to Florida soon. Any ideas?

Any good e-business ideas? I am 15 years old, and I'm quite the entrepreneur. Over the summer, I made good money buying things in bulk and then reselling them on eBay. This was a good strategy for me, however, now that I'm back in school, I no longer have time to operate it. I know there are plenty of routes for me to take e-business wise, and I have a few good ideas of my own. I need something that is fairly easy to operate...maybe some sort of service or product that doesn't require shipping, something I can do fully on my computer/online. If you have any GREAT ideas, that you don't want to share with the world, feel free to email me at kingfrancisasa@yahoo.com

I need help with business ideas!!? I want to start a business or maybe even more than one, but I am terrified that the markets are already saturated. One business idea is to import off label bluetooth headsets, MP3 players, and other various electronics, but when I checked on ebay I say there was already tons of the off label cheaper brands. I then thought about selling out of a store front, but that takes more overhead. The other business is disposable or consumable medical goods. Items like rubber gloves, maskes, syringes, etc..., but I am afraid of saturation in that market also. Can some one give me some advise or encouragement. If anyone knows of niche market that is untouched please let me know!!!

What type of business can a young entrepreneur start? Hi. I'm a 20y/o (in May) and I have savings of $8,000, but a total of $15,000 if I sell my car and buy a much cheaper one. I know it's not tons of money, but I guess for someone my age, it's alot. No this money did not come from my parents. They've been retired since I was 9 and I've been paying for everything since I was 17. I'm currently in the iPhone business. I unlock, buy/resell and also doing eBay. I want to start my own business that I can operate fully, something stable. I have tons of business ideas in mind, but I don't think they'll be much successful. Any ideas would help... Thanks! I just read my question and it was pretty vague. Anyways...Ideally, I want something I can operate from home, from the computer is even better. eBay business was a hit for me, but I'm only doing iPhones, and iPhones will not last forever, and the iPhone market in the US is kind of dropping.
What kind of knowledge is most valuable to a regular, business ebay seller? Situation: A regular, professional, business ebay seller with lots of listings active (100+) at all times, sells many items within their specific product range. All items are re-stocked regularly and all listings re-list automatically when they've ended or sold out. Meaning their product range and stocking habits are similar to those of a high street shop. It's a genuine sales business with all the ongoing issues regular businesses have. Question is: What type(s) of information would or should or COULD be most valuable to a seller like this who is expanding their business each month? Reason I'm asking is I'm developping a website that gives info valuable to ebay sellers. I've seen most of the ebay seller tools out there and mine has a slant no others seem to cover. I'm looking for YOUR ideas so I can add features that I've actually researched - here on Y!A :)
online business? hiya, i'd like to know if any of you has got an online business, if so what do you do, how much do you make and how long do you spend each day on it? i've heard of adsense and all that, not sure how it works tho but ppl say u can make quite a bit of money from that kinda thing? I am asking bout it because i want to be my own boss in order to have the lifestyle i want but also because i would like to have children soon and be able to see them grow up.... who doesnt... yet, at the moment, my finances are very limited so i can't afford to buy business ideas on ebay and risk to waste my money... However, not wanting to sound naive.. I have to say that im pretty confused as, a lot of ppl there say that if you buy their own ideas and it doesnt work for you, they will give you 200% of your money back. How could they risk that if they were telling lies... especially when they sell 10's... how could they risk loads of negative feedback?? If someone could help me out, i'd be sooo grateful.. thx

Online business ideas wanted...? What would be a really good online business that could be run from home? I have racked my brains and can't think of anything that isn't either already being done or that would require a lot of up front investment. It would also need to be something that doesn't require thousands spending on Google Adwors etc'. Thought of maybe some kind of ebay style shop, but where do you get the products at trade price from and what are the best products to sell?

I'm a very determined person and with the right opportunity I know I can do great things. Any advice on the subject? Also, any advice on what actually sells good on Ebay? Thank you in advace!
