Default Looking to set up an eBay shop

Hi, I am Dave. I am new to the forums.
I am writing my first post to ask about opening an eBay shop. I don't have a huge budget, as I am only 17 years old. I was just asking to see if anyone had any tips or help on what to sell and where to get it from?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Many thanks, Dave

Have a good read of the forums Dave, as you will need to know what you want to sell yourself, maybe something that interests you?, as people can't and won't tell you what to sell.

There a vast amount of knowledge to be gained in looking through the old posts not just the new!

Dave

Hey , Firstly welcome to the community. Don't forget to read all the important stickies ( Forum Rules etc)

The question you ask is extremly broad and and you'll find alot of us on here are relatively young . Observe and join in , through the board and you will soon learn about what you want to sell and what has the greatest profit margins. However, I suggest start selling based on a topic you enjoy i.e tennis.

Good luck, hope to see you around.

Id advise you to register as a business which can be done for free and if your a sole trader with profits under £4000(slightly more) you can get a tax exemption certificate.

I am guessing there are different rules for the U.S right?
