Almost every single day, on almost every forum that you visit, you still see same question cropping up."I want to start selling on eBay.. Where can I buy products wholesale."
WRONG!
You don't need to start out on eBay with a ton of products from some whole- sale source, only to find nobody wants them and you've got a house full.
In first place, if you're just starting out on eBay you want to keep all of your expenses at a bare minimum. Don't go overboard buying things you do not need.
Look around you. Find something you don't want or need any more, and put it on eBay for sale.
You want to get a "feel" for how auctions work, what draws visitors to your particular auction, and how you can make your next auction better.
By starting out with something you have that you no longer want or need, you don't have anything tied up in a product that may not sell. And, you have luxury of "testing" a couple of different ad approaches without spending an arm and a leg.
