I'm 16 and would like to start a business on eBay?
I'm a junior in high school and recently wanted to start making my own money. I recently bought a pair of iPhone 5 headphones on eBay, and I noticed how many the user I purchased them from had sold. Since this I have been wanting to start my own business. What will I need to start a business similar to theirs (mostly phone accessories and things of that sort). Will I be able to do this while I'm a full time high school student and how do I buy bulk packages to make a profit off of it? Also how will the shipping fees and things work?
You're for a LOT of information. Much of it is available on the eBay website.
You need to be 18 to join ebay
plus you need a paypal account which you can have your parents set up a student paypal account for you but you can't sell on ebay or be on ebay until your 18
When I was 15 I sold on eBay… Not supposed to but their are ways.
If your selling stuff like iphone chargers you are competing with people who buy them by the container load from China.
I would suggest drop shipping for that but its not a big profit and huge competition.
The key to making money on ebay is being a big powerfull company or finding a niche without a lot of competition.
Shipping is a big thing… Took me a year to get it right…
Go to Blackhatworld to see many ways to sell on eBay but remember legit is always better in the long run.
