If you can signup for an eBay account, you can make a part-time or full-time income selling on the Internet. However, most eBay sellers remain casual sellers and never cross the line to become truly successful eBay entrepreneurs. In this article, I'd like to reveal a little-known secret to you on how to become an "international trader" on eBay and sell products that people will bid irrationalally for.
If you're in the UK, often you'll find that certain products you want to buy are only available in the US, and vice-versa. As an example, it's hard to find certain popular US clothing brands in the UK. Let's say you are in the UK. You can source out or buy these US based products and sell them on Ebay. In fact, you can buy these products from eBay themselves and resell them for a nice tidy profit.
You might think that does not sound possible, but many sellers devalue their products and do not realize the true sales value of their merchandise. You can find these underpriced items, buy them, and then resell them.
This little-known method of buying US products to sell on UK soil and vice-versa can be VERY profitable if you work it. All it takes is a little research in the beginning, then all you need to do is spend a few hours each week setting up the auctions, watch the bids fly in and ship out the products. And the bids will come in like crazy if your product is considered rare in your country! People will pay a premium pricing for something they want very much, but can not get.
