Finding products to sell on eBay

Some eBay sellers may not desire to become the top power seller or even run a large business. Instead, they may just want to launch a small business or generate a second income, but it can be hard for them to figure out how to find products on eBay that they can sell. Mobile phones, computers and tablets, and many more produce high sales on eBay. You can also sell many other products that may generate a good income. This post explains how you can find products to sell on eBay. 

Flea markets and swap meets

You can find many independent local sellers who usually trade several items at these places. These include antique, collectible, or other great products at affordable prices. But you may need to spend a lot of time browsing to find the best items. In some cases, you may need to do a little restoring or cleaning these products. You can find many eBay sellers who have generated enough income by shopping during weekends at flea markets and swap meets.

Thrift stores can also be the right place to find the products. Part-time sellers can develop a thrift store circuit and offer a variety of goods that they have expertise in. This means you can check for these items to sell each day or even a couple of times a week. 

Check for the items on the street 

In many larger cities, you can find a good amount of technology and furniture that is discarded each week as trash. Therefore, if you live in any large city, then consider going by apartment buildings to look for technology goods and furniture. 

Street vendors can also be a great source of affordable imported products, especially in large cities. You can decide to purchase these imported products and sell them at a profit on eBay. However, you need to watch out that you don’t sell any item that is considered to be a counterfeit.

Online retailers and local independent businesses

You can also find some products from competing online retailers. You should not just think of well-known competitors like Amazon as the competition. Instead, you should look out for deals, markdowns, clearance items, and many more because these give you the chance to be a middleman and can make good margins. You can choose to list on eBay and allow them to fulfill the order.

Small local independent businesses are also a good source of items that you can sell on eBay. Almost every location regardless of its size can have a single or several hand-made products. You can find shops that deal with non-perishable products. 

Nowadays, it’s likely that most of these shops can have their site to sell the products, but their business model may differ from the eBay one. Therefore, you need to find these shops and talk to the owners so that you can source their products and sell them on eBay. In this way, both you and the shop owners can benefit by selling these products quickly.
