Question
QUESTION: Hi
I have been selling at Ebay for last 2 yrs.But I am not making good income.I have been selling stamps.I am from Pakistan.Can you tell any thing which i can make good or any other products which i can sell it through Pakistan.or any other which i generate good income.

Thank you.


ANSWER: Hi Haider,
Have you used all the great information offered at eBay to help you? eBay has tons of tools and tips and resources and even successful sellers that help you figure out what's not working.

Are the stamps selling but not for as much as you think they should? Are the not selling? Some things to look at are the quality of the picture of the stamps as well as the quality of your description. Do you include a picture in search results listing?

Or are the stamps selling but you don't have enough of an inventory? In that case you need to find a good source for stamps.

To find out what's selling on eBay you can visit http://pulse.ebay.com/ or for more detailed statistics on what's going on with eBay so you can choose the best products use a service like http://www.andale.com

To some extend I came to know what my problem was.I have only product to sell on ebay.My problem was not enough inventory.Can u tell ,what should i sale on ebay.because mostly buyer are from us and europe.I am from pakistan.If I sell any thing ,that heavy in weight .no one will buy because of shipping cost .

Tell me what should I sell on ebay.And can U tell how much average people earn from Ebay .

Thank you


Answer
Hi Haider,
I can't tell you what you should sell on eBay. Much depends on what's available to you and what interests you. Certainly picking something light can help with overseas shipping. But given the chance to buy from the US or Pakistan, a US person will likely choose the US seller just because even on light items, the shipping will be less. So perhaps you need to choose something very unique not sold by many other people. Maybe something unique to Pakistan even.

I don't know the average income on eBay but I do know people who make a living at. These people do lots of research on their products, learn to create the bestings and study eBay. Many of them have eBay Stores as well.
