The best way to make money in this way is by finding items that have been incorrectly listed (and thus undervalued) and listing them with better keywords, accurate information etc.
The tricky part is finding those listings in the first place because they will often be at the bottom of many searches due to poor relevance. Searching by "ending soonest" on eBay can bring up many hidden treasures.
You then need to have a good idea of the market rate of what you are selling and factor in a healthy margin: postage costs and handling time can add up quickly.
- elliekelly 6y agoThere used to be a browser extension that would search common misspellings of things on eBay to find undervalued items. “Kat Spade” instead of “Kate Spade”, for example. I built quite a collection of shoes and handbags with this method in college. But I’m sure eBay’s search has gotten better at delivering misspelled listing in results over the past decade so perhaps it’s not as useful as I remember it being.
