Selling Childrens Items On EBay

Selling Children's Items on EBay

Selling for a profit on eBay is easy when you have kids. People are earning hundreds of dollars a month by selling kid related items. Here are some general ideas to help you get started.

Kids Items You Can Sell

Clothes, toys and videos are good money makers on eBay.

Go to eBay and look up a "lot" of size six girl's cloths. You will find they are expensive! The average price for a lot of 20 good conditioned clothes is about $35.00.

When your kids grow out of their seasonal clothes do not throw them out. Bundle them into different lots by category. For example bundle girls dresses separate from girls play clothes, but only do that if you have at least six of each different type.

Lots of any item sell better than single items unless the item is unique or high priced. For example, a hand embroidered dress that you paid a lot for would sell better by itself instead of bundled with other basic dresses.

The next item to lookup on eBay is toys. Most toys in good condition will sell for a lot of money. One idea that works well is to buy hot items in October at Wal-Mart or Toys-R-Us and sell them on eBay. Busy people are willing to pay extra for the convenience of getting the items delivered to their home. For example, last year a Mega Power Ranger came out in stores around October and sold at Wal-Mart for about $45.00. The same item sold on eBay for up to $65.00 plus shipping. The Yellow Power Ranger is yet another example where the store price was about $6.00, while the same item was selling on eBay for about $20.00.

Have your children ever received duplicate birthday or Christmas presents? You can sell those on eBay also. Look at the eBay listings for items of interest to see if selling on eBay is worth more than returning the item to the store.

Kid's videos and DVDs are also good money-makers. Bundle about three of these together, and you can usually make about $7.00-$12.00 per bundle. Bundle more and the money goes up. Disney movies in hard cases can go for a higher amount. This also works for other types of movies as well.

Save those McDonalds toys. Some Kids Meals toys sell high. Take the new Star Wars toys from Burger King...very collectible. You will find them selling on eBay from $1.00 to $5.00, not including shipping.

Ebay has a whole section devoted to dolls and bears. If your daughter doesn't want her collectible dolls anymore sell them on eBay.

Kids Crafts You Can Sell

Around the holidays, especially, have your children place their hand in paint and make a print on some quality paper. Add a holiday related poem and you have a great craft to sell on eBay.

Have your kids make gift jars with ready made mixes. For example, hot chocolate mixes in a jar with a plastic spoon tied to it with a ribbon. Dip the end of the spoon with white chocolate.

Baby Items You Can Sell

Used baby items are very profitable. Baby items cost a lot of money, especially in their first year. Any "gently" used items are generally good sellers on eBay.

If you have baby coupons that you will never use, sell them on eBay! Left over diapers and formula sell well also. A lot of 35 used cloth diapers usually sells for around $38.00 plus shipping. Four Fuzzi Bunz diapers (cloth diapers with hemp inserts) can sell for as much as $40.00.

There you have it. Plenty of ideas for selling those leftover kids items on eBay...and you can even make a nice profit while you are at it!

Baby Safety Products
When parents are expecting, they want to make sure their home is safe for their baby. Just like animals, humans will do anything to protect their babies. For us, that begins at home. You can begin selling safety products by creating an account on EBay. Then, if everything goes well you can pay to create a store on EBay, maybe even other sites. Find wholesalers and distributors to get these products. Do this so you are not paying full price and able to charge a competitive price with your customers.

Safety is something everyone is rather particular about, we practice safety in all parts of our life; safety while cooking, camping, playing, and relaxing. While home, people are most particular about the safety of their baby. When it comes to safety people tend to make sure their home is safe for their child before they bring it home. They will be on the lookout for products that help keep and maintain the safety of their house.

Where do they look for these products? The best place for the pregnant woman to look for baby safety products would be the internet. There is no need of traveling around too much looking for baby products, when in the advanced stage of pregnancy. There are many choices on the internet for customers to make a choice from. Therefore, you could also create a website to list items to buy for baby's safety.

You could offer products that provide safety for baby like cradles, nets, fire protective products, toys that are safe to use, and various other products. You can act as the middleman; you do not have to manufacture these products. You just order the items for the parents and send them when bought from you. In other words, you have to find some wholesalers and distributors who will provide their goods to be advertised and sold through your website.

You have to have a merchant account and a shopping cart on your website to facilitate easy booking and shipping of the products offered. Accept responsibility of the safe shipping of these products. If you deal with expensive products, it proves to be safer to insure these products just in case there is any damage in shipping before they reach their destination. You will have to categorize the products that you have for sale in your website. This makes it easier for the surfer to order specific products for their baby's safety.

It is better to have your website listed in some of the popular directories on the internet. In such cases, the surfer just has to type the words 'baby safety products', wherein they will be provided with numerous sites catering to their needs. Make sure you have a web designer design your site so it reaches higher rankings in the directories, thus more people will be able to locate your site.

You may also need to do some offline advertising in shopping centers and malls where you define your products. You could also print pamphlets and distribute them among doctors offices and hospitals where there will be preparing parents visiting. It would be better for you if you had some storage space and an office to run your operation. With adequate storage space, you should store products that are high in demand; this way you can immediately send the products to those who have ordered them. Their waiting time will thus be greatly reduced, resulting in happy customers that will order again from you.
