Just wondering if anybody sells anything through an e commerce store as a second income,

After this winter, i want to prepare properly for next year,....

i know it wont make me a millionaire lol , but a few extra quid all helps,

does anyone else have an online store and sell on ebay?

i sell velcro on ebay.........

Item number: 320631346510   paste this number in ebay search then look at other items.

ive just started selling carp & pike rod bands  put them on last night.
 im trying to  think of something for wfp with the velcro.
the only thing is something to strap the poles together for storage .
i do self adhesive and sew on VELCRO black and white.

i do a dual lock too very strong.

My wife sells organic soaps online.

Its a new business so the income is minimal to be honest,.. but hopefully by next winter it'll be enough to take some pressure off!

Thanks,

i think i may have had this chat with you a couple of years ago, Nath.

finding the products etc...

going to look at cosmetics, so our lass can get involved, 

but have done a little research not much as yet,.. but some wholesalers are priced at high street prices, meaning no profit etc,

then there are the e commerce free web stores that promise the earth for free .... but not really, once you add your products,

example below,

http://www.freewebstore.org/

The target audience we found most enthusiastic about the products was the ones who wanted products that are completely handmade, zero chemicals and 100% organic. Its much harder to source the ingredients & much more expensive & labour intensive too,.. but it sets her products apart,.. there is no one else doing the same anywhere near us.

It also means that high street prices are irrelevant,.. even the so called "organic, chemical free" high street products contain ingredients many ppl don't like,so prices are set more to the value of the actual product.

Personally I've avoided the online shop software & stuck with the very basic paypal cart. Its easy to control, free & there's still an option to upgrade to the full online shop software once the business has grown a bit. The website link is in my sig if you want to check it out. The website still needs work, it was built in a huge rush trying to get ready for xmas!

That sounds the best way to go nath,

but i will have to go down the free software route as i dont have the skills to create my own store etc.

You can use URL shortening sites like bit.ly and tinyurl.com 

I had a dating site for a year,ended up flirting with all the female members

where do people get the stuff to sell on ebay though?

 I have looked at selling on ebay before the prices i can source things "cheep" usally same price as ebay so they must get the stuff at really low prices but WHERE!!

[Poles R Us]

car boots

[Klean07]

Cash and Carry maybe.

[jeff68]

Yeah carboots are excellent for getting designer clothes next to nothing and then you can sell on ebay for huge profits.As an example I bought a ralph lauren gents shirt for 50p and sold it 7 days later on ebay for £25....I useually make around £50 -£100 a week buying at carboots and then selling on ebay.But its just throughout the summer at the moment as most carboots don't run through the winter down here.What I might do is rent a storage unit and store all the stuff I buy from carboots and sell them in the winter..

Dont thik so because for example you see a telly for £100 un cash n carry RRP 150 go on to ebay youd see it for 100 same as cash and carry ..

Id love to know were they get new stuff really cheap
