Lucrative

Ebay can be a lucrative opportunity to make lots of extra spending money. One key item is finding a niche to fill that is not being filled. Or find a product that you can sell cheaper then the competitors. Watch out for clearance deals and businesses going out of business. Buy cheap and sell high. Also start off with lower prices and build a base of loyal customers, you can then resell to them and offer them discounts and deals. They also will know the quality and reliability of you as a seller, which is priceless in the Ebay marketplace.

Try selling an item that you find at your local dollar store. I see these all the time at highly marked up levels. Remember everyone does not have time to go the dollar store, so you are like the consumers middleman. Also think brand names that are recognizable like Disney. Popular stars are and television shows are also great items to sell on ebay. People are collectors and if they don't have that unique item they will pay more then a dollar for it.
