Sure!

First, make sure you take good, clear pictures of what you are selling. Put down a light colored tablecloth for a background so that your items show up clearly.

If you have a lot, arrange everything neatly on a table. Take a picture of the whole lot. That picture won't be a close up because you will have to get everything in the pic. Then, take close-up pictures of each section of the lot so people can see clearly what you have and what shape it is in. For instance, divide your lot visually into thirds, then take a closer picture of each third.

Keep your description clean and detailed. Include a complete, itemized list of everything you are selling. If you know when you purchased the items, include that. If you have items that have expiration dates, like day solution, make sure to note the exp. dates for people. They want to know.

Write a descriptive title for your auction. Don't include unnecessary and silly descriptors. No one searches for those words and they ignore them. For example,

Huge Mary Kay Lot Over $3800 Wholesale New

Rather than

WOW! L@@K!! Mary Kay Lot Incredible. Must See!!


Don't spend the extra money on features like subtitles or bold. The only extra that seems to be of value is the gallery photo, so I would do that. Lots of people just scan the pictures for something that looks interesting.

Be sure you have boxed everything up and weighed it so that you know how much to charge for shipping. And include a small extra amount for your handling. If your shipping charge is reasonable, you will get more bids because a lot of people set it high, not necessarily on purpose, but because they don't always know how much shipping costs.

Hope that helps. I'll answer any other specific questions.

Just saw one on there going for $45.00.

Oh yeah. They were going to be rare collector's items. Ha!

Just another way to get people to order a bunch of inventory. Nothing like an $1800 Barbie (or was it more?)

How do you go about that? selling the Barbie on ebay? What if it dosen't get the price that you wanted? Do you think that I could get a good price for it?

Thank you so much for the advice and information.

Another thing that sells well on eBay is that sequined pink caddy stuff they had as star prizes a while back (was a sweater, black wool bag, and something else...). I had the bag and sold it - think it sold for almost $100, and it was used!!! Geez.

All my official MK stuff went like crazy.

Also, if you have fairly recent tapes/cds/recruiting lit from company, you can sell that, too. You can't return those to the company. You won't get what you paid, but you'll at least get a return on it.

I sold a giant box of director supplies - left over prizes, tapes, training materials, pins, you name it.

You all excited me to sell some things on Ebay.
! have a closet full of different stuff and still have like  5 or 6 Star Prizes...

Thanks for your tips!

I've sold quite a bit on eBay - star prizes and supplies mostly. They go like hotcakes. I think that consultants rationalize as it's cheaper to spend a few hundred dollars (yes, one of my MK luggage pieces went for just over $100) or so on something than the $1,800+ in inventory to "earn" it.
