RE: When Life Throws A Curve Swing For The Fence

Hi timbot606,

Good start....where do you sell these wholesale finds on Ebay or swap meet?

What kind of wood business were going to start?

Sort:  

On social media, flea markets, yardsales. I may try ebay and amazon once I've grown some. Signs and wall art right now, but I plan on moving up to furniture in the future.

You should not wait til later to sell your stuff on Ebay since it is where u can sell to all 50 states and around the world. Sell seasonal stuff on Ebay so, you can sell year around.

Yea, I've thought about that. I just don't like the idea of having to give up a portion of my profits

Or you can just advertise your products on Amazon if you think they have costly selling fees or sign-up for an Individual Seller Account, which is cheaper. No monthly subscription fee and $0.99 per item + referral fees and variable closing fees, from $2 to $3 per sold item.

I plan on using Amazon and ebay. I just want to do more research, because some say Amazon works best for brand new, or like new products, and others say different. I may just have to learn from personal experience.

I hope this can help you with your research Amazon Services

I'm not a pro but I manage an E-commerce business and we list our items on Amazon. And that's where we're getting 90% of sales revenue :)

Thank you! I do like that monthly fee best, because I do plan on selling more than 40 items a month.

You're welcome and when you decide to sign-up, they'll help you get started and train you through their Seller University. Good luck @timbot606! :)

Followed you btw.

That way of thinking is not a smart business thinking....imo.

Do you know how big Ebay market is?

If you sell at local swap meet or craft fairs, they are going to charge you rent too. Ebay take certain small percentage for basically advertising for you all over the U.S.

Yea, I know. I've sold on ebay before and I know you can move a lot of merchandise.
