The week after Thanksgiving is the best week to get great deals online. Hence, the start of the week called Cyber Monday! With the Holidays upon us and the need to bring in additional money for gifts, I personally have already started clearing out. This past weekend, I cleaned out my living room closet and put 10 things up on eBay. Check out this list from FedEx about online selling trends. The list they provided gives some great tips on getting started!
Have big items that you no longer need and can't afford to offer free shipping, you have the option of offering local sales only. So, there no matter what you want to sell, you have many different options on shipping or delivery and/or pick-up sales.
If you are in need for more money this holiday season, I would highly recommend clearing out, like I did this weekend. Get your piles going. You know the ones! Trash, donate, eBay and keep. My daughter is also jumping on the selling bandwagon as she wants to earn money as well, whether for Christmas shopping for others, or, saving for the cruise she is going on over Spring break. She is planning on taking a box at both our home and her home with her dad, and filling it up only with toys that she wants to keep and what doesn't fit, goes! She will have the same piles I recommended previously. What goes into the Trash, what she wants to donate and what she will be putting on eBay.
If you aren't sure if something will sell? Research it. Look on eBay for the item and make sure to click the link for Advanced Search and check the box for Completed Listings. This will tell you if the item sold and if so, how much it sold for. There may be a variation in the end prices. You will need to determine your start prices based on the shape of your item. If you choose to start at a lower price, but, don't want to accept too low a price, you can select a reserve price, which is the minimum that you will accept. Buyers will not see what this amount is.
If you are a buyer looking for great Cyber Monday deals? eBay has just about anything you may be looking for. You can definitely find some great deals for holiday shopping here. To share, I went shopping on eBay this past week and purchased accessories for my new iPhone that includes screen protectors, case and car charger. This seller offered free shipping, so, I was able to purchase all that for less than $9.00. I also want to bake more varieties of treats this year, and went on a search for a mini muffin pan. I found one that I got for only $5.50 plus shipping of $5.65. I was super excited about that because I am ready to get baking! The prices in the stores were a little higher than what I budgeted to spend, so, this was great timing to find this pan :)
What rooms can you clear out to bring in additional holiday money?
