eBay Seller Success Story - Brighton Shoes
Have you ever wondered what to sell on ebay? Check this out! I purchased a pair of Brighton Womens Sandals at a local thrift store and turned them into nearly $40 profit! Brighton shoes are very high quality sandals, made in Italy. Here is the listing:
BRIGHTON Womens Sandals LARK THONG sz 8 Blue Made Italy
eBay Sale Price: $41
My Cost: $1.75
Profit on Sale: $39.25
As with any sale on ebay, there are associated listing and end of sale fees. I usually recover those costs in shipping and handling. For example, I charged $9 shipping & handling on this sale, but only paid $5 to ship the shoes. Keep those extra charges in mind when setting your shipping and handling charges.

What to Sell on ebay ... Discounted Nicorette Gum
As the New Year begins, so do the New Year resolutions. A popular resolution every year for smokers is to quit smoking. I recently found boxes of Nicorette gum, a smoking cessation aid, on clearance at a local retail shop. The clearance price was $12.99 and I had a coupon good for $10 off a box of Nicorette gum, original flavor. I paid $2.99 for the box of Nicorette gum and sold it for over $25!
Sale price | $27.49 |
My Cost | $2.99 |
Profit on Sale | $24.50 |
You can sell clearance priced items on ebay for a profit, too! For more information on what to sell on ebay and money saving tips, please visit me on eHow at: http://www.ehow.com/members/pieceofscrap.html

Earn money online by writing about what you love to do! I do. I am the Springfield eBay Examiner for Examiner.com. You can find my page at http://www.examiner.com/x-23016-Springfield-eBay-Examiner. I'd love to know what you think!
So far, my experience with Examiner.com has been great and I'm enjoying learning how to share my knowledge about my topic with people all over the world.
They asked me to refer anyone I know who might be a good Examiner, and that is where you come in. We all know something on a particular topic, whether it be children, dogs, cats, gardening, school, golfing, basketball, etc. I think Examiner.com might be a good way for you to share your expertise, reach a large audience, establish yourself as an authority, and make online money.
I think you would do well, so if you'd like to learn more, you can read up on Examiner.com or if you're ready, you can apply now. If you decide to apply, would you mind letting them know I referred you? Currently, Examiner.com is paying a $50 referral bonus for each person that I refer as long as their application is accepted – if you forget my ID number (23016) when applying, I won't receive the credit for your referral. Keep in mind that this program is open to you too if you are accepted as an Examiner!
This video will make it really clear how to tell them I sent you. If you have any questions you'd like to ask me before you apply, please let me know.
Thank you for taking a look at my page, and, if you decide to apply, good luck!
