There really is no "best product".

You have to do research and see what you can get at a good price and what people will pay for it.

This site has opened my eyes up to a few things and it will probably do the same for you. Have a look around and see if anything catches your eye and remember, if its looks to good to be true, then it probably is.

You and 20,000,000 other newbies are looking for these products. Why?

You can probably buy the products you are looking for cheaper from an ebay seller than from any UK or Far East wholesalers. If you are lucky enough to find a reliable seller the profit is so minimal, it would be hardly worth your while.

So what does that tell you?

Where do I start? Do you honestly believe the only people/businesses on ebay making money are those selling branded electronics? Oh and those people are working on paper thin margins which are hadly enough to sustain a long term business.

There is a whole world of opportunities and products out there, open your eyes. Your ability is only limited by your ability.

Buying and selling does not revolve around ipods and consoles hence there are millions of people making a very good living on ebay. If you waiting for someone to tell you what to sell, where to buy it and how to market it, you are not ready to start your own business just yet.

Oh and ebay is not the be all and end all of buying and selling!
