*********************** ARTICLE START ***********************
It has been said that you can sell most things on eBay, provided they are legal to sell on the site and can be sent through the post. But how do you decide how to get started when you want to build up a business on the auction site?

Most people start by selling off the things they no longer need from their own homes. We can all find plenty of secondhand items to sell in these categories. Just think of the books, DVDs, CDs, toys, games and much more that you no longer want or need. Having a clear out has started many a successful eBay business and there is no reason to suspect you cannot do the same if you are so minded.

The good thing is that if you want to invest in proper stock and you are short of money to do so, selling your own second hand items is the best way to get you the money that you need initially, quickly. It also gives you experience in selling items as efficiently as possible, so you should also treat it as a learning curve.

The other benefit of selling a wide range of your own items from home that you no longer need is that you can tell what sells the best. Lots of people with eBay businesses have started off wanting to sell one thing and have then switched to selling something else instead � purely because they realised that something else sold better. This is a valuable lesson and it is better to learn it with secondhand items you already have than it is to find out after you invest money in stock.

Once you start to get an idea of what you might like to buy in to sell, you can start looking for potential wholesalers whilst you sell off your secondhand items. This gives you time to research the market properly and also to check what else is selling on eBay that falls into the same category. Finding wholesalers isn�t always easy but once you have a couple you like, you can make the most of buying a good amount of stock from them.

Strictly speaking, the best way to get started on the site is by gaining as much experience as you can by selling simple secondhand things. This experience can then be used to help you build a professional business. The last thing you want to do is to make mistakes once you start holding expensive stock and selling as a business. If you can learn the ropes while starting out as a casual seller you will make a much better start once you get your own stock in to sell.

You want to stand out as a good seller when you are trading on eBay. The more efficient and eye catching you can be in this sense, the better it will be. Your reputation is all important so make sure that you satisfy all your customers� requirements. So if you want to learn more, take a look round your house now to see what you can sell from your own home before starting your proper business.
