Unless you've been living under a rock since 1995 then you would have at least heard of Ebay. Ebay is the biggest online auction site on the Internet and a very good place to start if you would like to supplement your income.

 

We have been using Ebay since 2002 but we first discovered the site back in 1999.

 

We first started selling a few items on Ebay, such as computer parts and items that we would never use and were taking up space in the house.  However, we did not realise the full potential that Ebay can deliver until 2006.

 

There are thousands of items you can sell on Ebay - we chose eBooks and other digital items as they are very easy to deliver, i.e no shipping required or shipping costs as you can either email the items or provide an address for people to download from in your webspace which is what we do.  Please click here to view our Ebay store.

 

If you haven't already got an account with Ebay it's very simple to set one up and the best thing of all is it's free to join.  Just click the banner below and click register at the top of the page to set up your account.

 

 

Once you have your account set up then you need to choose what products you want to sell.  Our advice is to choose a product you have some knowledge about.  As part of a bonus of another program we use called Bring Your Buddy we offer a monthly free product from our Ebay store that our team can use to sell for themselves.  If you are interested in this please click here to go through to the Low Investment page.

 

 

Paypal

 

A tool we find we can't live without when using Ebay is Paypal.

 

This allows you to take credit card payments securely for your sales and speeds up the process.  There are many Ebay members who will not buy from you unless you use Paypal.

 

Again, this is a free-to-join site and you only get charged a fee when you receive money but it is completely free to send money.

 

If you haven't already got a Paypal account it is very easy to set up.  Please click the banner below and choose the Premier Account as this will allow you to accept credit and debit card payments.
