You can have your own part-time or full-time business from home selling merchandise through online auctions. The biggest question for new eBay sellers is where to find items to auction off. These 6 great places will give you an opportunity to start making money on eBay. 1. Start looking for things at home that you don't need or want anymore. You might be surprised on how much stuff you can find that are worth money. Items such as name brand clothing, baby stuff, jewelry and video games do well on eBay. 2. Liquidation alerts sites, like BlueBlee.com. As the first of its kind, BlueBlee is becoming a popular place for shoppers looking to save a bundle of money with Going out of business sales.

Basically, if there is a close out for my favorite store and they have a location within 50 miles of my home, BlueBlee.com will send me the address and info right as the deal closes, not 3-5 days later when everyone else knows already. This alert system will ensure that BlueBlee users always get the best products at the best price. 3. Wholesale websites, like Alibaba.com. These international giants allow the normal people, like you and I, a chance to play in the big game of moving products online. One note to make, if you cannot afford to buy 10,000 widgets, don't even look. Alibaba only sells in bulk and is tailor made to help you make a nice profit if you can afford it upfront. 4. Estate sales can make you a lot of money if you know what you're looking for. People who are throwing estate sales just want to get rid of stuff, quickly. Study what sells on eBay and make a list of items to look for. Shopping at estate sales will allow you to mark up your auction prices significantly if you know what you are looking for. I have seen friends of mine make $25,000 on a table that no one wanted, of course it was from the 18th century, but you never know. 5. Storage unit sales are a great place to make a buck, if you feel like gambling. Essentially what happens is you go to the storage center, they auction units that have not paid rent in more than 60 days and you bid. There is no way of knowing what is in them or what they might have behind the door, but they are cheap to offset the risks. I have seen a friend make more than $100,000 in a day from one of these deals. 6. Always visit the clearance section of your favorite stores. If you love what you're selling, it will do well. All retail stores have a clearance section depending on the occasion. Take advantage of Black Fridays and Boxing Day. About The Author
