Many people today use eBay to make some extra cash by cleaning out their closets and garages. But, did you know that you can also use eBay as the basis of a Home Based business?

Many people today use eBay as their means for a Home Based Business. The focus for this business could be for generating money for College, or a down payment on a house, or some extra money for vacations. Whatever the focus, here are some basic strategies to help you accomplish this.

First, make a list of what's hot on eBay. Look around the site and find out what is selling, for how much, and how fast. You also want to add to this list "steady" or perennial products that sell regardless of the season or current economic conditions.

Once you have finished the list, review it and make a second list with the items you want to sell. Next, start looking for sources for the products on your list. A steady and reliable source of products is crucial for your success. One of the most effective ways to accomplish this is by finding a reputable wholesale dropship supply partner. These are companies that supply you with a product at wholesale price, so you can sell it at eBay for a profit. An ideal supplier will take care of the inventory, packing and shipping of the items you sell. You want to focus on selling, not order fulfillment.

You want to look for suppliers with a diversified inventory, and a proven record of quick and accurate dropshipping. The good news is that there are many wholesalers for eBay sellers out there that can handle a variety of products. You can have agreements with a music cds dropshipper, a pet accessories dropshipper, or any other type of dropshipper that can meet your requirements.

The next step on your product sourcing for eBay strategy is to create auctions and storefronts that will catch the eye of potential customers. Your wholesale partner can help by providing you with pictures, product descriptions and graphics for the products you will be selling. These resources, coupled with your own expertise, will lead to increased sales.
