I have a small ebay store, started off with things that I could sell, which took awhile.

Then I got swindled with Doba, I could not get money back cause they put in on a special price for the year. Promised sales, but nothing.

Problem for most of them which i have tried: i don't have an available credit card to buy the item and pay them when I get a sale. I have to make sure the item I am selling is somthing that I can afford.

Would like to do those designer handbags, but I can't afford to pay for one.

Then there are the ones that charge just to sell their items.

Help...

Is craiglist a difficult thing to do sell? I heard so many not so good stories.
Do you have to pay a fee, how do you start ?

Amazon.com was too expensive per month.... it seemed harder to get started.

I am looking for ways to get me started selling and chosing products etc.

Hi breezy808,

Welcome to the site :)

It is getting harder to find a site where you can sell for free, but you can on Craigslist! Here's a blog post we did on Craigslist and how you can start your business there - Link hidden: Login to view

When choosing products you want to sell you might want to consider -

- Local trends or the trends in the market you plan to sell at.

- Things you are interested in, your hobby would make a good starting point. It has been said that selling things you are interested in or at least like has a higher rate of success.

- If your completely new at selling online, you might to start searching through own closet for things you can sell :)

You might find this helpful in deciding what types of products to sell - Link hidden: Login to view

Hope this helps you to a good start and should you need further assistance please don't hesitate to let us know.

All the best :)
