Hi @ss7_8213 

You need to buy the items you want to sell.  Then you resell them for a price that covers your cost, eBay fees and your target profit margin.  

Here are some eBay Help pages to read:

Getting paid for items you've sold | eBay

Creating a listing | eBay

Selling fees | eBay

Go to "help" and type in "new to selling"...read all you can, and learn all the fees, the do's and dont's.  Also, go to FedEx, USPS and UPS website and learn everything there is on shipping....you will be in the shipping business more than the selling business as each sale has its own set of circumstances for shipping, unless you plan to sell the same exact item to the same place each time

First and foremost make sure your account is set up properly with bank, SSN and all the info eBay requires in order to be paid.  Understand all the initial wait periods for payment.

Come back here often and read up. The helpers here will give you a lot of information on selling, shipping and things to look out for. 

I wish you much success moving forward. 

You got this!

Need to know what one is selling first for any help.
