Growing my Ebay Store
I have just started my online journey with Ebay. My main question to the Ebay community is how I keep new content for sale on my page. I have about 200 items left before I deplete my stock. Where do you guys find new material other than the local thrift store?

·2 years agoYou can't have a website referenced in your listing. Ebay, no no. Remove it before they catch it. Just noticed that right away.
Also, be aware that there is no such thing as 'no returns'. That trips up many new sellers. If a buyer is displeased with an item, all he has to do is say so and file a return. You will pay to get it back and refund. So, think over if you want to establish your new business with no retun policy.

Welcome to eBay. Looking at your items you are selling they are quite expensive. New sellers selling expensive new items right from the start are under eBay's radar. Make sure you have receipts and invoices for all your items you are selling because at some point they will ask for them, as well as tracking and delivery of those items. Lots of stolen merchandise on this platform & eBay is cracking down hard to make sure their customers have the best buying experience they can without any issues.
Important to be informed and read the rules and policies as well.
Be careful & Happy Selling

·2 years agoWelcome to Ebay, I hope your journey is a good one for you.
IMHO it is too early for you to have a store. First thing you need is to learn how to sell and how to Listings. Along with the other basics of selling. You don't have that experience yet. Ebay is a complicated site to sell on. There are so many rules and structured processes. I urge you to NEVER assume you know something, even if it seems logical to you. That is likely one of the quickest ways of getting yourself in trouble.
Since you are new, I would check your Seller Hub to see what your Selling Limits currently are. You need to know what that is so you know when you are getting close to that ceiling. You need some time and sales on your selling account to get this number increased.
As for looking for more stock. Watch for estate sales, local auctions events, thrift stores, yard sales, classified ads on the internet, large lots on Ebay, etc. If you are only interested in selling used items these are some great options.
Good Luck.
