If you are business proprietor or a novice looking to become your own boss, eBay is a great place to get started, to hit the ground running, learn the ins and outs and get your feet wet with minimal upfront cost and little financial risk. Running your online business through eBay is incredibly easy, because eBay is an online forum that caters to just about any kind of customer, from rare and vintage clothing, books and collectibles to brand name electronics and appliances to new and used electronics. It is even a great place to buy big ticket items such as cars, industrial equipment and real estate. If you can successfully create on online business plan centered around these big ticket items, the rewards for a rather modest investment of time and energy can be astronomical. Here are a few things you can sell on eBay and score huge profits with for merely being the "middle man" in the transaction.
CARS, TRUCKS AND MISCELLANEOUS VEHICLES
eBay has its own online division dedicated to selling and auctioning vehicles of all kinds, in all conditions, from classic cars to utility trucks to motorcycles, snowmobiles and just about any other conveyance you can possibly imagine. With this category, there are two ways to run your operation. One is as a "flipper" where you try to acquire the vehicle at a bargain price, put in a little work and money to increase its value, and you try to sell it at a premium for maximum profit. This can be quite lucrative, but very time consuming. The other way is to operate your online eBay business as a vehicle broker, where you run the listing, facilitate all interactions between the owner and the buyer, and often you will need to provide a reliable, trust worthy escrow service for the transfer of funds. Ultimately, this is best used for specialty cars and very valuable classics that the owner doesn't want to necessarily trust to the vagaries of the Internet. Your payment will usually be either a flat fee, or a certain percentage of the final sale price.
REAL ESTATE
Like the previous category, real estate is a big ticket item that can reap generous profits for your, but you need to tread carefully. Unless you own the particular property outright, you will need a Realtor's license to sell real estate on behalf of the owner. So, with this category, it really only is ideal for real estate "flippers" that can manage to find property at a bargain, invest a little money into it and turn it around for a profit as a Sale By Owner. Though this can be incredibly profitable, there are many laws that vary from state to state that you need to consider. Consult a lawyer before hand to discuss the specifics of your situation.
INDUSTRIAL EQUIPMENT
Many of the large tools and equipment that makes factories function are sold in good condition after they have become "obsolete" by industry standards, even though they remain in perfect working order. Many of these are sold off at auction for a considerable discount, but can be turned around and sold for a healthy profit to small, independent manufacturers that are less concerned with maximizing output.
