I am interested in knowing more about how to start a business on eBay. I would really appreciate some guidance.  I have no clue about what I should do. I really need some advice.  Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I make my living from my eBay store that carries Women`s suits:  Shining-Star-Suits

When I started my eBay sales, I experimented with several types of clothing items.  I figured out what to sell by trial and error.  I was frustrated by not being able to profile other sellers and determine demand for my items.  So I created a new market research service that won`t break a seller`s budget: eSeller Street

So, now for the advice. 

• Aim for profits from Day 1.  When experimenting with what to sell, buy items from a store that can be returned.  If you find something that sells for a profit, specialize in that item.. 
• Don`t try to be the lowest cost seller, instead upsell by creating compelling listings with detailed photographs. 
• Research the competition.  How much are they selling each week?  What is their success rate.  These numbers should go into your inventory decisions.

Best of luck!
