If you've asked yourself just how do I start making money on eBay, here are some answers. eBay has evolved into one of, if not the largest platform for the common man to break into owning their own small business. Many people daunted at the idea of all things necessary to start a traditional business, home or otherwise, are finding that eBay offers a low-cost, easy entry into the world of business without all the hassles, and to top that, there are so many people and resources available to help you start making money on eBay. Let's look at some of these.

In order to start making money on eBay today you need a plan. There are many ways to get this done, some harder than others. The traditional way most people get a start making money on eBay is to go through their closets and garages, accumulating all the things they no longer want or need. In my opinion, unless you have Jay Leno's garage this only serves as a good way to learn the listing and selling process. Don't get me wrong: you need to know these things. But as a long-term business model, let's assume you want to do a little better than selling all your old magazines for a dime.

To start making money on eBay you need to either source your products from something like a wholesale product directory and resell them, or find a source of low-cost merchandise, perhaps a dropshipper, to handle getting you goods to sell. This is probably where your business is made or lost; in the phase where you acquire product. Like in stocks, the profit is made when you buy, not when you sell. Finding good products at a great price that you can turn around is a great way to start making money on eBay. Finding the right wholesale product directory or dropshipper is the tricky part. There are a lot of, to put it kindly, unreliable sources out there that can sink you faster than you can say powerseller! Due your due diligence and you won't be sorry!

Two of the newer ways to start making money on eBay are by selling information products and building a niche products store full of eBay auction merchandise. These new methods are very exciting and promise to open up whole new avenues for people eager to start making money on eBay.

Whichever way you choose, do your research, ask your questions. More than 750,000 people now claim eBay as their primary source of income, so someone has gone there before you. It can be done!
