Step 4
Sign up for members-only warehouses and stores such as CostCo and Sam's Club. They will usually have an annual fee to gain access to their store or warehouse. This is usually around 50 dollars a year. But once inside, the prices are much cheaper than most stores. They can afford to do this, because everyone in the store has paid 50 dollars upfront for nothing essentially. But there is no limit to how much you can buy during that year, so the 50 dollars easily pays for itself quickly. Using the previous steps, you can make these stores work to your advantage and see profits in no time!
Step 5
You know the old saying "One man's trash is another man's treasure!" Well as cliche as it sounds, it is true. You would be AMAZED at the junk that is raking in big bucks on ebay. Junk to you, but to someone else, they have been seaching for it for a long time. Some very random things I have come across that make money are Coupons (Just clip them out and sell them), Magazine clippings (50+ magazine clippings of celebrities from magazines. Some people make a living off just that), Vintage newspapers or ads, Local-only items such as perhaps postcards from your area or souveniers from places local to you, empty ink cartridges, and anything vintage. There are much weirder things out there, but I feel that these could actually make you some money by doing them. Essentially people are paying you for your time and service. It would take a person hours to clip through magazines or find that specific vintage item you own. The less of something that exists and the harder to find, you can basically name your own price for it.
Step 6
Buying on ebay to sell on ebay!

I have done this many times! Buy late at night or right when something is listed as a buy it now and make serious profit! I have bought many cell phones when they are first listed as Buy-It-Now and then resold them for a major profit. Some people simply don't know what the item they are selling is worth or more commonly, someone needs quick cash and will take a cut in profit just to make money quickly. This works best for semi-expensive items, such as cell phones, electronics, or lightly used electronics. Example, I bought a Sprint PDA phone for 175 dollars including shipping. Three days later I received the item, reposted it, and two days later sold it for 275 dollars. That was a 100 dollar profit for simply catching something at the right time. And there is always a right time for something. An easy was to do this is to have a list of about 20 items with their usually selling price. Check at a few times during the day for closing auctions or recently listed Buy-It-Now items. Know how much you can make after shipping and if the price is right, buy it! Just do it any time you are walking past the computer, or during a commercial break! It takes very little effort!
Step 7
Mystery Auctions and ebooks!

Everyone on ebay is there for the exact same reason: Get money or acquire a good without much effort or money. This is why mystery auctions and ebooks are so popular! A mystery auction is where you sell "e-envelopes", giving people the chance to win whatever prize you choose. For example I will have a specific digital camera as a prize. Worth 500 dollars. Then I tell the people there are 100 envelopes and each one is 7 dollars. That way I earn roughly 200 dollars in profits (Less if it is given away sooner). It is a win/win situation, because the person who wins the prize is very happy to get an expensive item for a cheap price. You are happy because you make money. Sure there are people who don't win. Most people don't win, but they take it in good spirits and leave positive feedback because they know its a gamble. Be careful with your wording on listing mystery auctions, because ebay has a policy against "gambling" and giving away prizes. So if you word it correctly, it is fine. Thousands of people list these auctions every day, so just check out some other peoples' and see how they word it.

Ebooks are exactly what you think they are. Electronic books with information inside. You can buy one with resell rights and resell it millions of times over to make a lot of profit! An increasing amount of ebayers make a living off doing this! Just be careful of ebay fees, because the fees for listing can add up quickly. I feel that the best way to do these auctions are to pay the extra 40 cents and list as a 10 day auction. Buy It Now with digital delivery.
