2. Seasonal items
A bathing suit you never took the tags off of is not going to sell easily in January. However, your second pair of ski boots will fill someone’s winter sport need quite nicely.
When you’re buying items to resell on EBay, think about what time of year it is and what people will be looking for during the upcoming season.
You can start listing items just before or right at the beginning of a season.
This way as people look to get geared up for the upcoming season, your items will look much more attractive than if you’re trying to sell beach volleyballs in February.
When you clean out your closets each season, look for items that are still in great shape and put them in a box. Label the box with Ebay, and the month you think is the best month to list the items.
Store the box in a clean, dry place until the month you have indicated on the box. As you clean out items throughout the year, eventually you will have boxes labeled for every month. This will give you a great base of items to sell each month on Ebay without having to search around your house for items.
