eBay is one of the largest online marketplaces in the world, with millions of products listed for sale at any given time. If you're looking to sell on eBay, it can be helpful to know what types of items tend to sell the best. In this article, I will take you through the secrets of top selling goods on ebay learned through personal experience! Let's look at the top 10 things that sell the best on eBay.

For starters, think small to make big! Small items are really easy to sell on ebay because they dont take up much space in inventory, cheaper to ship, and easy to list! So lets go ahead and jump right in to what items and categories are great to sell on ebay!

1. Electronics: From smartphones to laptops, electronics are some of the most popular items sold on eBay. Buyers are often looking for deals on new or gently used tech products.

2. Clothing: Clothing is another hot seller on eBay, especially items that are in excellent condition or are designer brands. Vintage clothing is also popular among buyers. In my experience, selling patches take the bait because theres a really good collectible market for them. People like to buy patches to sew them on a T-shirt, a hat, a jacket. Patches are small and easy to list! Police patches and first responder patches have a high market on ebay. Other patches to look out for are motercycle patches such as Harly Davidson.

3. Collectibles: Collectibles, such as coins, stamps, and trading cards, are highly sought after by collectors. Rare or unique items can fetch high prices on eBay. Coins do really well on ebay, there is a huge collectors market for them. If you take the time to specialize and learn about coins you can really find some great flips. Its not uncommon for coins on ebay to sell for into the thousands of dollars, however typically you can find coins for a few dollars and flip them for around $20. So go hunting on your local Facebook marketplace or even take up metal detecting!

4. Antiques: Antique items, including furniture, jewelry, and artwork, are also in demand on eBay. Buyers often look for items that have historical significance or are in excellent condition.

5. Toys and games: Toys and games are always in demand, especially during the holiday season. New or rare items can fetch high prices on eBay.

6. Home and garden items: Home and garden items, such as tools, appliances, and furniture, are popular among buyers looking for deals on high-quality products.

7. Sporting goods: From golf clubs to bicycles, sporting goods are popular on eBay. Buyers often look for items that are in excellent condition or are hard to find elsewhere.

8. Musical instruments: Musical instruments, including guitars, pianos, and drums, are also in demand on eBay. Buyers often look for high-quality instruments that are in excellent condition.

9. Health and beauty products: Health and beauty products, including makeup, skincare, and hair care items, are popular among buyers. New or high-end products can fetch high prices on eBay. I found that the BEST thing that sells with a high profit margine is perfume. YES, used perfume! There are many people in your community getting rid of their old perfume bottles for cheap to nothing! Try buying old perfumes from locals on Facebook Marketplace, or KSL and resell these on ebay. You can find some pretty serious demand.

10. Pet supplies: Pet supplies, such as food, toys, and grooming products, are in demand on eBay. Buyers often look for high-quality products that are difficult to find in stores.
