Using eBay to make money on line isn't as hard as you think! I Can tell you a few tricks that have helped me to get my auctions a little more attention then they may have. I know you see it everywhere, make money today, or make money fast, or whatever, but honestly the only thing I have found to date that make you near immediate money for your efforts is eBay. I know they have fees, and you have to have a product, but that's OK. You pay the fees later (after your item sells and you get paid) and finding a product can be as close as a walk to your garage or closet!

Just pick anything, anything at all. Take a snapshot (the more pictures of the item the better) Host your pictures on photo bucket so that you can save money. eBay charges an extra.15 cents (the first picture is free) for each picture you have attached to your auction. However, if you simply host your pictures on photo bucket, or some other picture hosting site, then you can use the code to add your pictures into your auction description for no additional money at all!

Now you have your picture, and your item you want to sell. Now go to eBay and create a new account with them. Click to sell an item, and then create your item description and add in your pictures and list! That's it. However long you selected your auction to be (I suggest a week) That is when you will make your money provided your item sells. Make sure before you set a price, you do a little research first and see if anyone else has sold something similar. You do a search and on the right hand side, pick to search through completed listings. You will see that the auctions that have sold for that item will have the price in green. This will tell you about what you can expect to make for that exact item, and also how popular it is, and if you are facing much completion.

When you are creating your listing, try to make it unique. So that it stands out from others. What is special about your item? Tell a store about it. I saw an auction for a barbie doll once that sold for a couple of hundred dollars, you know why? Because the author of the auction posted a detailed story in their auction description about "the dolls day in the office" and they showed staged pictures of the doll in an office with shipping boxes It was quite hysterical! The moral of my story here is even if you have a plain item that really there may not be much special to it, you can make it special just by being a little creative.
