It's really up to you when it comes to how much money you would like to make from this extremely popular auction based site.

OK, let's get started!

These are the simple steps that you need to take to start earning some cash on eBay.

Create Your Account - This is very simple to do. Once you are on eBay.com you will see a place where you will be able to register or create an account. Just fill out the information as requested. You are going to need a PayPal account so if you do not have one I'd suggest getting one before creating your account.

Setting up your eBay and PayPal account are very easy to do and both are free to do.

Read Their Terms and Service Section - I know reading the terms and service section of any site can be a pain and seemingly pointless, but when learning how to make money on eBay this is a very crucial step.

Why?

As profitable of a site as eBay can be they are well known for changing their terms and services agreement. The only people that these changes really hurt are the one's that don't read this section.

Decide What You Are Going To Sell - I highly recommend starting off selling things that you already own that you no longer want or need. If you do not have absolutely anything that you'd like to get rid of you can always ask friends or family members for things that they are not using or do not want anymore.

If all else fails you can go to local garage sales and or thrift stores to find items to sell.

You will probably be surprised on much stuff you can gather to sell by using these simple techniques.

List Something - Even though you may have gathered 20 things to sell on eBay doesn't mean that you have to list them all at once. Start off listing one or two items. This will be a good way to really get familiar with the site and how it operates.

Once you've decided on what you are going to be listing you will want to take some fairly good quality pictures of it. Make sure that you can easily see what you are selling from several different angles.

When creating a listing you want to make sure that the title of your listing is very catchy. You really want to attract people so that they will click on your ad.

Once they are on your ad you want to make sure that your ad description is appealing to the visitor. Make sure that you have at least 3-5 pictures of your item. Give as much clear and honest information on your item as possible.

There are several templates that you can use that eBay provides that can really jazz up your listing, use them.

Setting Your Price - The real key to successful selling on eBay is pricing. Make sure that you set your price to sell. Make sure that you set your price very reasonable for the buyer. Selling things at great prices will give you a good reputation as a seller and even get you some returning customers.

Remember that people who shop on eBay are looking for a deal so try to give them one.

Once you sell a few items you will soon realize that it is becoming easier and faster to make money with eBay.

Once you feel comfortable selling on eBay there are ways that you can ramp things up that will allow you to start your very own eBay business.

I'm not going to leave you hanging like that. The secret to starting a successful eBay business is using quality wholesale drop shipping companies. These companies will provide you with all the inventory that you could ever need to sell on eBay for some nice profits.
