Do you want to find out about eBay's consistently popular categories? Just look at this compiled hot list to show you what's profitable on eBay, season after season, year after year.
1. Clothing, shoes and
accessories
Clothing is such an exciting
category to get involved in as it encompasses so many niches such as plus size
gym wear, novelty underwear, and comfort shoes. Clothing is also easy to
sell and ship, and best of all, there will always be a demand for clothing.
2. Collectibles
eBay is without a doubt the world's most popular place to buy and sell
collectible items. Collectibles can include antique items, baseball cards,
posters, medals and war artifacts, comics and branded items like Coca Cola and
much more.
Tip: Visit yard and estate sales
for arbitrage items which you can buy very cheaply and sell on to make a pretty
profit.
3. Electronics
These ares possibly the most competitive, yet
potentially profitable markets on eBay – particularly when it comes to items such
as iPods and mobile phones.
Consider supplementing your product range with accessories such as iPod skins,
spare cords, or hands free kits for mobile phones.
4. CDs and DVDs
Did you know that eBay sells over
1 million DVDs and CDs and each month? However, for every one million sold,
there are around 2 million listed. Yip, you guessed it, this is another highly
competitive market.
The trick to making it in DVDs and CDs is to niche it up – go outside of
mainstream movies and TV series', or music albums and find a new niche market
like exercise DVD's, classic films or learning languages.
5. Gaming systems
Many gaming enthusiasts use eBay
to buy and sell their games and gaming systems. A typical gamer will buy the
latest system, play it for 8 hours a day for four weeks then sell it on and
find something new to entertain them, which means there is always an abundance
of buyers on the hunt for a new system to entertain them.
6. Healthy and Beauty
There are so many items within
the Health and Beauty market: weight loss supplements, anti-aging creams and
vitamins, hair care, dental care and makeup (nail polish,lip gloss, lip stick,
lip balm, concealer, powder, etc.), then there is perfume and cologne,
moisturizer, eye cream, microdermabrasion kits, hair and makeup brushes and
applicators, hair removal kits or razors and shaving creams, manicure kits,
eyelash curlers, tweezers and much more!
7. Baby Gear
From toys to feeding equipment
and strollers, baby gear is a highly profitable eBay market. Like clothing, there
will always be a market for baby equipment and with the huge costs associated
with bringing up a baby, it's no wonder parents turn to buying online to find
bargains and save themselves some money.
Hot Tip: While brand-name items
are top sellers in health and beauty, be very wary of Chinese suppliers
offering these items very cheaply – they are likely to be fake and eBay cracks
down very hard on anyone selling these.
You might already know a good supplier for some of these markets, but if you’re at a loss, would recommend that you grab yourself the SaleHoo directory.... click here
which lists a lot of suppliers, both for niche products and those more mainstream markets.
