What is an eBay Store?
No doubt you’re already familiar with the name. Since eBay’s founding in 1995 it has become the world’s leading place to buy and sell, a community of hundreds of millions of ordinary people, small businesses, and even large businesses from all of the seven continents. According to the company’s mission statement, “eBay’s mission is to provide a global trading platform where practically anyone can trade practically anything.”

How Do You Create An eBay Store?

• Decide what to sell. You can sell almost anything on eBay.
• Prepare to sell. You’ll want to gather information about your items and take pictures before creating your listing.
• List your items. It takes minutes to list an item for sale on eBay.
• Complete the sale. Once an item has sold and you receive payment, promptly ship it to your buyer.

What skills do you need to sell on eBay?
The best way to start on eBay is by advertising redundant items from around your home. This lets you get some basic eBay selling skills while converting dust collectors and closet fillers into cash. You will need a postal scale to weigh your items, some priority mail boxes and packing material, and a table with adequate lighting to take pictures of your items.

What can you sell on eBay?
Many people sell their old laptop once they’ve upgraded, the clothes their children have grown out of, and even the old furniture in their homes. Others sign up with wholesalers who will drop ship items to their buyers. When you sell an item on eBay, you pay listing fees and turn over a percentage of the final sale price to eBay.
