Here are 7 Reliably Profitable eBay Markets
1. Clothing, shoes and accessories
Clothing seems like one of the most exciting categories for ladies to get involved in as it includes so many niches such as novelty underwear, comfort shoes, plus size gym wear and clothing, etc. Clothing is also one of the easiest things to sell and ship, and best of all, there's always a demand for clothing.
Here is a selling Tip: Always give the buyer as much information as you can in your eBay listings, especially about the garment's size. This will help buyers to work out whether it fits them or not - one factor which can easily cause uncertainty in potential buyers.
2. Collectables
eBay is one of the most popular places in the world to buy and sell collectable items without a doubt. Collectables can include antiques, posters, baseball cards, medals and war artefacts, coins, comics and other branded items like Coca Cola etc.
Sourcing Tip: Rummage through your garage, cupboards for old collectables you great grandmother may have given you, or visit yard and estate sales for second hand items which you can buy very cheaply and sell on eBay and make a good profit.
3. Health and Beauty
There are so many items within the Health and Beauty market: there's hair care, vitamins and anti-aging creams, weight loss supplements, dental care, makeup (nail polish, lip gloss, lipstick, lip balm, concealers, powder, foundations, eyeliners, mascara, eyeshadow, illuminators, bronzers and blushers - and many many more), even perfumes and cologne, moisturizers, eye creams, microdermabrasion kits, hair and makeup brushes as well as applicators, hair removal kits or razors and shaving creams, manicure kits, eyelash curlers, tweezers, you name it. The list goes on.
As with all categories, it really helps to sell something which you are really interested in or have experience with. If it's something you enjoy yourself, sell it. It will keep you interested. What about if you suffer from dandruff, selling dandruff treatments would be a great thing to sell as you can relate to your audience and give them a few tips along the way (would be great in your eBay About Me page).
Hot Tip: While brand-name items are top sellers in the health and beauty industry, be very weary of Chinese suppliers offering these items very cheap as they are likely to be fake and eBay cracks down very hard on anyone selling these sorts of things.
4. Electronics
Electronics is possibly one of the most competitive and exciting markets on eBay, particular for the big boys, and potentially a profitable market on eBay - particularly when it comes to items such as mobile phones, Androids, iPods, iPads or even Kindles. One of the best ways to approach this market is in a big way, i.e. make a real profit by doing a big bulk buy and sell in big volumes. Consider supplementing your product range with accessories such as iPod skins, spare cords, or hands free kits for mobile phones.
5. DVDs and CDs
I bet you didn't know that eBay sells over 1 million DVDs and CDs and each month? However, for every one million sold DVDs and CDs sold, there are around 2 million listed. Yip, you guessed it, another highly competitive market for you to get into. The trick to making it in the CD and DVD business is to niche it up - go outside of mainstream movies and TV series', or music albums and find a new niche market like exercise DVD's, classic films or learning languages.
6. Gaming systems
There are many gaming enthusiasts that use eBay to buy and sell their gaming systems and games. A typical gamer will buy the latest system, play it for 8 hours a day for about a month then want to sell it on and find something new to entertain them, which means there's always many buyers on the hunt for a new system to entertain them.
7. Baby Gear
From toys to feeding equipment and strollers, baby gear can be a very highly profitable eBay market to get into. Like clothing and health care, there will always be a market for baby equipment and with the huge costs associated with bringing up a baby, it's no wonder parents turn to buying online to find bargains and save themselves some money.
Hot Tip: Don't be put off sourcing second-hand or sample grade baby clothing because babies can be messy little things and parents need them to have an abundance of cheap clothing to change baby into after they splash around in the puddles, play with mud or start feeding their sweaters.
But remember, keep in mind that these markets are reliably profitable only when they are well executed! The above categories are highly competitive so when selling them, you must work hard to stand out from your competitors with great key words and item descriptions, and flawless customer service!
