Buy Globally on eBay
Many eBay users avoid global transactions because of the extra work and
potential pitfalls involved with conducting business outside the borders.
QUICKFACTS
FINDING ITEMS TO SELL
Unless you are connected to retail channels, you will
need to acquire items to sell at the best below-market
price you can get. Possible sources include the following:
??? Basements, attics, and closets provide the
most readily available and lowest-cost items (you
already own them). Include items of friends and
relatives that can be had for nothing or next to it.
??? Thrift stores contain hidden treasures that can be
ferreted out with a sharp, experienced pricing eye
and persistent scouring. Go (early) on promotion
days to obtain even deeper discounts. (From the
PR manager of a national thrift store chain: ???You
should see this one guy we have who comes in
every Monday (.99 cent day) and goes out with two
to three cart loads overflowing two feet over the top
full of men??™s suits. Then sells
them on eBay??”makes a nice
little living for himself.???)
??? Garage sales are typically announced in your
local paper and on your nearest telephone pole.
