If you’ve ever bought anything on eBay (and the chances are you have), then think about your own behaviour.

So you´ve decided that you want to get started as a seller on eBay. There are a few things that you really need to know before you go and throw yourself in at the deep end.

What to Sell.

First off, you need to know what it is you´re going to sell: what´s your speciality? You´ll do far better on eBay if you become a great source for certain kind of products, as people who are interested in those products will come back to you again and again. You won´t get any loyalty or real reputation if you just sell rubbish at random.

If you´ve ever read an article about eBay, you will have seen the kinds of incomes people make - it isn´t unusual to hear of people making thousands of dollars per month on eBay.

Next time you´re on eBay, take a look at how many PowerSellers there are: you´ll find quite a few. Now consider that every single one of one of them must be making at least $1,000 per month, as that´s eBay´s requirement for becoming a PowerSeller. Silver PowerSellers make at least $3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is $25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller, and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in sales every month!

He wanted his site - then called ´AuctionWeb´ - to be an online marketplace, and wrote the first code for it in one weekend. It was one of the first websites of its kind in the world. The name ´eBay´ comes from the domain Omidyar used for his site. His company´s name was Echo Bay, and the ´eBay AuctionWeb´ was originally just one part of Echo Bay´s website at ebay.com. The first thing ever sold on the site was Omidyar´s broken laser pointer, which he got $14 for.
