Dear ashok4944,
hello,
I can see that you are enterprising but don't know anything about ebay selling.
The only thing you need here is enthusiasm and a little knowledge of computer & Internet.
Since you have posted a question here, it meams that you are quite aware of Computers & Internet.
Further, its true, that its not necessary that you may be a manufacturer or trader before you can sell on ebay.
The fact is that most of the sellers don't have anything of their own and they are Top Sellers on ebay.
I would suggest you that you make a list of people whom you know and are into some business. They may be shopkeeper, trader, distributor, artist, manufacturer etc. Just contact them and see if they can give you some products for re-selling on ebay. Study the prevailing rates and get few samples.
You can then add to your cost price things like:
ebay fees
packing charges
YOUR margin
Arrive at a reasonnable selling price with a reasonable margin.
If you just can't find anybody who can help you with some Items...then I would suggest that you go to the whole-sale market of your area. Every shopkeeper go there and buy products for re-selling. So there is no question why you can't sell. You can start with books which seems..... are your favourite.
ebay market is just like a SHOP.
A shop has a limitation of an area as it can serve only limited people living around that area.
A shop has a limitation of Capital expenditure as initial cost of buying a shop is too much.
A shop has a limitation of over-head expenses like sales staff salary, electricity etc.
BUT ebay shop is a shop which is open 24 hours a Day.
You may sleep but your ebay shop would remain OPEN.
There is NO limitation of Customers from a particular area. You may get an order from Chennai, Mumbai, Kolkatta or Delhi. Even International Buyers... once you master selling on ebay.
For Indians this was a far off dream but ebay has made it a " DREAM COME TRUE "
For more help you can always study the tutorials provided by ebay OR you can post a question and many Co-members would be happy to assist you.
kind regards
