If your goal is to make money selling on eBay, you may be concerned about shipping methods you can choose to get your packages to your customers in the time they require it to be delivered. Some customers may require over night delivery, and if they are willing to pay for this service, it will be handy to have this option available to them as well. Federal Express or FedEx is probably one of the most well known names in over night shipping. But most people do not know that FedEx also has a ground service at a lower rate than over night. In this article I present make money selling on eBay by shipping with Federal Express.
When shipping on eBay, by choosing FedEx as one of your shipping couriers, not only do you get the highest quality and speediest delivery, FedEx also offers tools to help calculate shipping costs and allows you more freedom to sell your items, instead of worrying about shipping. These tools can be integrated directly into your eBay seller’s page making it simple for your customers to choose which shipping option they require.
Shipping with FedEx allows you to pay for your shipping directly from your computer. You do not need to take your package to a FedEx retailer to figure out how much it will cost to ship your package. You can do it all from your home with a scale to weigh your package before listing it on eBay. Then you set up your costs accordingly which is one of the secrets if you want to make money selling on eBay.
There are a few things you will need to know before setting up your shipping costs for each item. You should know the shipping package dimensions, package weight, and location or zip code you are shipping from. You can calculate how much it will cost to ship anywhere in the world from there. By using FedEx, you can just input this information into their web site and they will tell you exactly how much it will cost, leaving no room for error on your part.
With FedEx, you can ship to any place in the world your customers are located and you can ship these over night if you or your customer so choose. You can ship any item no matter how small or large with FedEx. This means no matter what you are selling, you can rely on FedEx to ship these items in a timely manner.
Also, there are many FedEx retailers every where in the world. After you get your package ready to go and have affixed your shipping label, you only need to drop it off at any FedEx retailer. FedEx even has drop off points that you can drive through without having to get out of your car. This makes it very easy to ship with FedEx when selling on eBay.
Do not let the daunting prospect of shipping items sold on eBay stress you out. EBay partnered with Federal Express to take the worry and fear out of shipping items to any where in the world. Your customers will be satisfied, and satisfied customers are repeat customers – and that’s how you make money selling on eBay.

I will take your question a step further. Someone bought something from me, filed a complaint saying it was broken. We agreed on a partial refund. A week later the same person had the item they just bought from me, re-listed and it was NOT broken at all. Welcome to Ebay, there is a lot to learn. I wish you luck. Most on there are honest but check others feedbacks as they can speak volumes as to someones character.

I've sold some jerseys on ebay before, and though I made money on them (mine were used, I think I paid them 1$ or something) so I made money but it wasn't worth the effort. And by looking on ebay now, I don't think it's a good idea. sorry.

Lets be honest here ..It's not like the people selling on I offer haven't heard of Ebay …that would be just dumb .. so if there was a market for someones product on ebay , wouldn't that person know about it ?? Sounds like you're just being naive or really really hopeful …ah wake up snap out of it .. the reason they aren't selling stuff on ebay is because it's fake and they 're not willing to take the heat and get shut down / confiscated . prison, court fines having their listings pulled pay pal account closed etc ..etc .. etc ..they are outta the country and don't even guarantee that you'll get your item many times customs will grab it and confiscate it ..(sometimes they'll ship you another one having not much inverted in it ) but I wouldn't bet on it ..
Easy answer >> is it a good idea ?? hell no .. sounds like a really bad idea ..
You're thinkin that's a start .. just keep the ethics and morality in the equation does it hurt anyone ? is it illegal / immoral ? does it help others ?.. illegal ideas are almost always .. a bad idea .. whether it's karma or god ,conscientious or just the right thing .. why take the hit spiritually

It doesn’t matter what you sell. As it is often said, one man’s trash is another man’s treasure. Most everyone collects or wants something or other.
Actually, you have to look no further than ebay itself. You will not be looking for single item listings but rather your target will be listings that have similar, grouped items. There are ebay ‘vultures’ who just love to swoop down on similarly grouped items in one listing. When they win these auctions, they turn around and sell the items individually and, in most cases, get one and a half to 2 times and sometimes three times what they paid for them on an average item basis. I know this works. When I had more time (read unemployed), I was one of these ‘vultures.’ This is one of those situations where the parts are worth more than the whole. However, do be cautious if you venture into this arena. You have to know your merchandise. Stay in those areas you are familiar with. You can’t jump in blindly to any and every auction that has grouped items.
If you can buy a large lot of similar merchandise for $100 to $200 and turn it around for $300 to $600, it works out very nicely, indeed! Most buyers of these large lots will be vultures as well so you could be ‘butting bids.’ Keep in mind that the higher the closing price at ebay, the less your profit on the turnaround. It’s not an exact science and it does take a little experience to really know what you’re doing but you can’t be afraid to go out on a limb. That’s where the fruit is. When I see an auction of grouped items it tells me loud and clear that the seller is far more interested in getting rid of their stuff the quickest, easiest way possible and ‘be done with it’ rather than in making a decent profit or profit at all.
Short of items to sell and where to find items to sell? Garage and yard sales, church bazaars, flea markets are obvious. These can be the cheapest sources of merchandise. ‘Junktique’ shops are not that good because these folks know their merchandise. This being the case, it is usually OVERPRICED, not under priced.
If you want to let your fingers do the walking, you too can be crafty ‘vulture’ like a select group of other ebay sellers. Become a member of several smaller auction sites and search for bargains there. But as before, ‘stick with what you know.’
These smaller auction sites are great for buyers for the same reason they are bad for sellers:
Fewer potential bidders = Less competition = Lower closing prices.
Turn them around on ebay:
The ebay formula:
LARGEST auction site by far = MAXIMUM competition = HIGHER closing prices
There are also volume sellers who concentrate on only a handful of popular items by buying in volume / wholesale at a discount and selling at a discount. The average schmo at eBay can’t compete with volume sellers of a particular item.
GOODWILL sometimes also has good bargains, but not always. Mondays / Tuesdays are the best days to visit Goodwill as most people will drop off their donations on Saturdays and Sundays and it has to be cleaned, sorted and marked before it can be placed on display.
GOOD LUCK!

depends on what that image is. If its a painting you have to state that it was picture taken by you. and that is not the original image. you have to see if that image is still protected against being counterfeited. there some companies which hire people to check out ebay for that kind of stuff and you dont know what's in their contracts or disclaimers. so better check what
