Question
Hello

I want to sell any product on ebay.com.  And I don't know what better a new product to sell and in where I can find the product. Could you please tell me what web site and what product.
Thank you.

Answer
Based on your question, I am assuming that you've never sold anything on eBay before.  I always recommend getting your feet wet by selling something you have laying around the house first. eBay can be a lot of work that most people do not realize when they are just starting out.

I would say after you've sold 5-10 items and know if you even like photographing, writing up, listing, packaging and shipping things, then would be a good time to look for a product line to sell. New and vintage items each have a market share on eBay.  It is up to you to decide which one you are interested in.

Here are a few things to think about when trying to find what to sell.
1. What are you interested in?  Do you like electronics, jewelry, shoes?
2. How much work is it to package the product up?
3. How hard will it be to find the product for resale?
4. What will your profit be after paying for the product,eBay and PayPal fees?

There are a lots of websites that carry products for you to sell on eBay. Two of the more popular ones are: http://www.alibaba.com,http://www.worldwidebrands.com I wish I had the right answer for you.  Unfortunately there is no right or wrong item to sell.  It takes lots of hard work to find just the right product to sell.
