Click “Sign Up” and follow the prompts to create a seller account. Pro Tip: While you don’t need it right away, if you plan to list more than 50 items a month, consider signing up for a basic eBay store subscription. It gives you benefits like discounted fees and the ability to run sales. 01:20 Step 2: Understand Selling Limits When you’re new, eBay sets limits on how much you can sell—usually 10 items or $500 in sales per month. Don’t worry; as you prove yourself by shipping on time, getting positive feedback, and maintaining good seller practices, these limits will increase automatically or by request. Pro Tip: Focus on selling consistently to build trust with eBay’s system. 02:07 Step 3: Find Items to Sell The easiest way to start is by selling things you already own: Look for high-demand items like electronics, video games, or gently used name-brand clothing. Stick with small, lightweight items that are easy to ship (and not fragile). Pro Tip: To check if an item will sell, use eBay’s app: Search for your item. Filter the results to show “Sold Items.” Compare the number of sold listings (green) to active listings (blue). If more items are selling than sitting, you’ve found a winner! 02:42 Step 4: Create Winning Listings Photos and descriptions are everything on eBay. Follow these tips: Use natural lighting and clear, high-quality photos from multiple angles. Write accurate, detailed titles. For example: “Nike Air Max Men’s Size 8.” Be honest about the condition—buyers appreciate transparency. Pro Tip: Use eBay’s free background remover for professional-looking images. 06:25 Step 5: Ship Smart Shipping can feel tricky, but here’s how to keep it simple: Use free USPS boxes for priority mail or buy lightweight padded mailers for smaller items. Get a small kitchen scale to weigh items for accurate postage. Print labels directly from eBay to save money and track shipments easily. 08:55 Step 6: Understand Fees & Taxes eBay charges listing and final value fees, so price your items with those in mind. Also, any profits you make are taxable, so keep records of what you spend and earn. Pro Tip: Start tracking your expenses and sales with a free tool like Google Sheets or invest in software like QuickBooks as you grow. 10:10 Step 7: Build a Positive Reputation When starting out, feedback is crucial. Ship on time, communicate clearly with buyers, and resolve issues quickly. Great feedback builds trust and helps you sell more. 11:02 Step 8: Scale Your Business Once you’ve sold a few items, reinvest your profits into sourcing new inventory. Check out thrift stores, garage sales, or wholesale options for items to resell. Pro Tip: Keep an eye out for trending categories and items by researching eBay’s trending lists or checking social media platforms. - Follow me on instagram: https://www.instagram.com/resellriley/ - Follow me on tiktok: https://www.tiktok.com/@resellriley - Amazon supplies I use daily: https://www.amazon.com/shop/resellriley?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_aipsfshop_aipsfresellriley_N659K0J1C0WGSWFGKP37
