Selling What You Love on eBay

As with all business, if you are doing what you love you will enjoy the time and effort you put into business. The same applies to selling on eBay.

When you are looking into niche markets to sell for, first look into your own personal areas of interest. If your are scrapbooker, start surfing around scrapbook auctions and see if there is a market that has more demand than products available, or for products you have a source for that will leave you with a large profit margin.

Keep in mind what trends are hot in your favorite hobbies or interest areas. There could be in the market if you are among the first to have a particular product while others are still struggling to find it.

If you are crafty, don't forget about making products and then selling them on eBay. This works best for products that are extremely unique to you, and other sellers would have a hard time duplicating. Back to the scrapbook example, many sellers are making an extremely good living by selling original paper piecings they create. On the same note, premade a layout pages of the "just add photos" variety are also a hot seller for today's busy crafters.

Also consider going wholesale in your favorite product areas. If you are a knitter, purchasing and reselling wall on eBay may be a profitable area for you, particularly on unique and hard-to-find yarns.

Don't forget to look into areas that other family members in your household are interested in. Your son's favorite hobby might actually be one that there's a lot of money to be made in. In that instance, going part-time with your son could be a good idea, where he does the product research, while you do the actual listing and selling.

When you are selling what you love, you will definitely love the business more and you will enjoy it. And when you enjoy it it won't seem as much like work as it is something fun that makes you money.
