[H704]Hottest Selling Items On Ebay
by David Riewe, Dav

Kids Items You Can Sell

Clothes, toys and videos are good money makers on eBay.

Go to eBay and look up a "lot" of size six girl's cloths. You will find they are expensive! The average price for a lot of 20 good conditioned clothes is about $35.00.

When your kids grow out of their seasonal clothes do not throw them out. Bundle them into different lots by category. For example bundle girls dresses separate from girls play clothes, but only do that if you have at least six of each different type.

Lots of any item sell better than single items unless the item is unique or high priced. For example, a hand embroidered dress that you paid a lot for would sell better by itself instead of bundled with other basic dresses.

The next item to lookup on eBay is toys. Most toys in good condition will sell for a lot of money. One idea that works well is to buy hot items in October at Wal-Mart or Toys-R-Us and sell them on eBay. Busy people are willing to pay extra for the convenience of getting the items delivered to their home.
For example, last year a Mega Power Ranger came out in stores around October and sold at Wal-Mart for about $45.00. The same item sold on eBay for up to $65.00 plus shipping. The Yellow Power Ranger is yet another example where the store price was about $6.00, while the same item was selling on eBay for about $20.00.

Have your children ever received duplicate birthday or Christmas presents? You can sell those on eBay also. Look at the eBay listings for items of interest to see if selling on eBay is worth more than returning the item to the store.

Kid's videos and DVDs are also good money-makers. Bundle about three of these together, and you can usually make about $7.00-$12.00 per bundle. Bundle more and the money goes up. Disney movies in hard cases can go for a higher amount. This also works for other types of movies as well.

Save those McDonalds toys. Some Kids Meals toys sell high. Take the new Star Wars toys from Burger King...very collectible. You will find them selling on eBay from $1.00 to $5.00, not including shipping.

Ebay has a whole section devoted to dolls and bears. If your daughter doesn't want her collectible dolls anymore sell them on eBay.

Kids Crafts You Can Sell

Around the holidays, especially, have your children place their hand in paint and make a print on some quality paper. Add a holiday related poem and you have a great craft to sell on eBay.

Have your kids make gift jars with ready made mixes. For example, hot chocolate mixes in a jar with a plastic spoon tied to it with a ribbon. Dip the end of the spoon with white chocolate.

Baby Items You Can Sell

Used baby items are very profitable. Baby items cost a lot of money, especially in their first year. Any "gently" used items are generally good sellers on eBay.

If you have baby coupons that you will never use, sell them on eBay! Left over diapers and formula sell well also. A lot of 35 used cloth diapers usually sells for around $38.00 plus shipping. Four Fuzzi Bunz diapers (cloth diapers with hemp inserts) can sell for as much as $40.00.

There you have it. Plenty of ideas for selling those leftover kids items on eBay...and you can even make a nice profit while you are at it!


While many sellers spend all their time selling their current eBook inventory on eBay, others try to locate the hottest selling eBooks first through copious research. The most important research an eBook seller can do on eBay is to find out what eBook topics are hot sellers, and then get them for you to resell. This doesn't mean you have to buy resellers rights copy of hot eBooks, it just means you should track sales to see what would be good for your customers.

eBay is a great place to do market research on eBook sales. The more you know about what sells online, the better you are able to locate potential hot selling topics. The most effective way to find the best selling eBooks on eBay is by doing a completed listings search.

The completed listings search is a great tool to find out what people are in the market for when it comes eBooks. Since many eBook offers on eBay are listed as a buy it now option, it can be a great challenge to figure out what eBooks are big sellers online, and what ones aren't from active listings. By doing a completed listings search, all sales are outlined in an easy to read green font, and all the unsold items are in red.

Simply click on the search button at the side task bar of your eBook results page on eBay. Make sure to check the box that indicates you want to search completed listings only. Once you have located this option, click search, and being looking through the listings.

To find the hottest selling eBooks simply grab a pen, and a pad, and make some notes about what genres of eBooks seem to be selling the most. Make a few notes about what to sell, and what not to sell. After going through abut 10 to 15 pages of completed listings on eBay, you should have an idea of what topics are the most popular.

Now go back through the listings and try to discover what the best price is to sell your eBooks on eBay. If the prices aren't consistent for the eBooks sold on eBay, try to find a middle ground price that would be good for your product.

Another point I would like to make is if your eBook turns out to be a dud and does not sell well don't give up on it. Simply sell the eBook as a store inventory item. This only costs pennies per month and adds to your inventory.
