One can do very well buying off eBay an selling elsewhere to.

In my old life(business) I'd do the same. Buy on there an resell elsewhere(not online), profit, rinse & repeat. As our older members know, I at one time sold on eBay. Not scrap related stuff, but stuff I bought wholesale(True Wholesale.). This was before I got into ewaste/scrapping. Nowadays while I don't sell on there anymore(I prefer face to face sales) I do still buy now an then, but even that's rare for me now.

If you got the time, patience, an the will to deal with eBay, their hoops, the occasional bad buyer, etc....then go for it. Just know it's not all peaches and roses, but it's not all piss and vinegar either.

For those new to the forums and/or selling on eBay, do yourself if a favor an learn market research. There are programs out that will do it for you on sites like eBay and Amazon. You can also do it without a program..just makes it harder in my opinion. Work smart, not hard as the saying goes. Far as what program..consult the archives I've mentioned one or two in the past. As I don't work for them..I don't do free advertising for them either.

So yea..if you made it through all that above...Good luck to you future eBay sellers, and continued good business for our pro ones.



As always...YMMV.
