Does selling on Ebay really pay off?

I am very creative and make all sorts of things from clothing, hair accessories, jewelry, to decorating baskets for weddings and such. Do you think there's a wide enough market for such stuff? Do you think it will pay off?

It sounds to me like you're the type who prefers to concentrate on the creative side of your venture, and may not wish to go through the somewhat tedious "learning curve" that E-Bay entails. So, here's another option you may wish to consider:

E-Bay has a wide variety of services available to people wishing to sell products, etc. on their site.

As well as being able to set up your own Sellers Account and auction off your goods, there are also E-Bay storefronts whose shopkeepers will take care of all the work associated with selling your products for you, leaving you free to produce your crafts.

Because of the wide variety of goods you produce, that may be the way for you to go. You could list each of the various goods you produce in a storefront whose product line is in keeping with your goods.

Look over the vendors and store fronts that accept other peoples goods on consignment, and find one appropriate for clothing, one for hair accessories, jewelry, decorative baskets for weddings, etc.

Approach these vendors with samples of your goods, and inquire what kind of percentage of the profit, or handling fee they would charge you to take care of all the mundane "paperwork" involved with selling your products.

You will probably need to provide them with projected product availability, i.e., how many wedding baskets you can produce per month should they receive a large order etc.

While this would cost you a percentage of your profits - their cut for doing the shopkeeping work for you - it still might prove valuable to you, especially in the long run.

About the last thing you want is to find yourself in the position wherein you can no longer produce your crafts because you are inundated with the paperwork resulting from last months' sales.

Should such a situation arise, I believe you might agree that the storekeepers earn the percentage of your profits that they would keep in order to free you from such minutiae.

Good luck with your venture.

On Ebay, absolutely there's a market for those items. I can't say whether it's the best place to sell clothing, but for the other items, you could definitely do well.

Can be, but patience is the key to success. You've got to offer things that people are interested to buy!

I think you have a good chance. Look on ebay and see if someone else is already selling what you want to sell. See how much it's going for, and see if you can do it for cheaper and still make money. I have bought golf clubs at garage sales for $10 and sold them for almost $200, so you better believe it can be done.

Does selling on Ebay really pay off?

I have sold and bought things on ebay, but never anything that someone has made. It's mostly just name brand stuff or CDs and such. Most people just go on there to find it cheaper than in the stores. So if you're trying to make stuff and sell it on there, I suggest just making one thing at a time. See if it sells and if you're a hit, keep those creations coming. =)

Get your wares on Ebay. I do know the higher your volume on Ebay the more you sell. It is a great way to supplement your income. I have been doing it for a few months. Out of only 33 items that I listed in that time, I sold 28 of them for a total of $420.00. I can't imagine the money I would be making if I would list much more. Just think if you were to sell 20 $5.00 items everyday that would be almost $37,000.00 a year.

Decorating baskets for weddings may work, I don't know about the other stuff.

Sometimes you sell, sometimes you don't. And you always have to pay eBay fees, so count your losses and if makes up a profit, Go for it!

Search for the kind of stuff you want to list, compare your product to the others listed (quality, price,etc.). Think about it.

Always put pictures and if you have a web site use the URL so you save on picture fees.
