Doing your own research and not asking others to do your work for you, following the rules and policies that ebay applies to being a seller, being truthful and trust worthy to your customers, not selling items from other countries if you are located in another country (drop shipping) , not selling items that are counterfeit or restricted, being consistant with customer service, do not price gauge or over charge for shipping. The rest is up to you. Good luck.
-Research the market you plan to sell in. -Then, sell in-demand items at attractive prices.
-Consider packaging up the items prior to listing to ensure you have a) the proper shipping supplies on hand, and b) the right weight and dimensions of each mail-piece.
-Get a postal scale.
-Learn the rules and policies for selling here, especially the Money Back Guarantee and the User Agreement.
Find a product with a reasonably high demand that you can offer at a reasonable price and that you can safely deliver to your buyers consistently at a reasonable price. As mentioned, I would avoid drop shipping not only from China but anywhere as such a practice is fraught with hazards.

Thank you to all of you for such a great information. i am running a Fonts Generator website but AdSense not yet approved thats why i want to start selling on ebay.
Golly-gosh {musing sigh}... I remember a time when the buyers actually allowed that to be a viable strategy on eBay. Not today. Though it may sound good on paper, the buyers, themselves, dictate how high you are able to sell an item. Now a seller cannot afford to get too crazy. Figure in this charge and that charge, nibbling away at the seller's bottom line... Not to be a Debbie Downer, but in the eBay of today, unless one is selling a desirable, rare, one-of-a-kind item, that [wishful] strategy can sink a seller. Therefore, I'd say, obtain it for little of nothing, and resell it at a moderate profit, and call it a day. 🙄
