Its very tough nowadays to make money selling cell accessories on ebay. Just go on ebay and see yourself. everything is selling for so cheap.. like $2 - $5.. Do u still think you can make money ? If so go ahead.

Selling on ebay has become "cut-throat" business. Compare the price of anything........literally anything, compare your cost price + ebay charges+shipping cost+paypal charges, and still if you can make $0.50/item than you are better off. Million dollar question is, how many item you will sell to make resonable amont of profit in a month. For instances, just over look the return, complain, refund, replacement you have to make.

That's what i was thinking too. Profit is less on cell phone accessories or you have to sell thousands of them to make some money. But is there anything that is profitable?

Don't do it. I lost more than 1000 bucks selling in eBay. All those nonsense fees, PayPal fees, Shipping Fees, and complains will make it like impossible to make any money. Even if you make $0.50 in one item, just think what happens if one buyer files a complain that he didn't receive the item or the item was not as described? It means that you will have to ship a new item once again that will cost you shipping fees + original cost price. Average shipping price is around $5 these days through USPS. In that particular transaction, you lost $5 + Original Cost. To receover this loss, you will have to sell at least 15-20 more of these item. Leave alone making profit. What if two or three complains???? You will loose money. Take my word!

If you are serious on bussiness do some local scale bussiness in your area, Tshirt selling, food card ( NEPALI MOMO, Tea, Fried items...)..or go with affilitate marketing in Amazon ( which pays more than ebay) and clickbank if you can spend 3-4 hrs/day in internet.
