In this video series on side hustles, we share about how to sell on eBay for beginners. I interview my assistant Heidi who has a lot of experience with side hustles for women and men and she gives great tips to sell on ebay fast! I was blown away by her creativity at figuring out how to get items to sell for little or nothing. In the video, Heidi tells us she made between $250 and $2500 a month on her side hustles on eBay.

Awww....thanks!!!
Living On A Dime hi Heidi nice to meet you great video Tawra💜
Great video!
I started out small about 15 years ago going to goodwill and selling on eBay. Last year we sold well over 100k and this year we are averaging $441 per day. There is literally unlimited product to flip everywhere you look. Just be creative!! Good job ladies, anyone can do this if you work at it.
Hello, Heidi!! I love your hair! I love seeing you both together! My favorite frugal gals! I lost my job about 6/6.5 years ago. I came home and cried and my husband said, "Don't worry. We can do this." My step son, 15, lived with us. My husband already had an eBay "store" and a side business with working on mowers. I became the Queen of Lawn Boy 2 cycle mowers and parts (we take mowers apart and sell the used parts). I made more in a year on eBay than I did at a 40 hr week job. It works! eBay, Craig's list and now FB Marketplace. Great video ladies! People need to know...
Good for you!! Congrats on not giving up and doing it.
LOVE this topic: Side Hustles. You've got my brain a swirlin'. Thanks
This video is perfect! I was just about to look up ways to make money 😂
So excited for your selling on Facebook video! I have a big house plant collection and sell rooted potted cuttings on Facebook. The plants are free and I get the pots three for a dollar at Dollar Tree. Potting mix is pennies per pot. I sell them for $5 and my plants just keep making more!
Loved this video. More of these please. Very interested in Heidi’s advice about eBay selling.
My daughter makes mega-money selling vintage greeting cards on e-bay...she made over $3,000 in one weekend...no kidding! We don't get it that people want cards; but she's doing great...the amount mentioned was a one-time thing.
I have found I never ask why would someone want that. LOL Look up old love letters on eBay. They can sell for a mint if during WWII or earlier. ~ Heidi
Oh you are speaking to me! I only have a few months til I'm done with school, I'm not available to work full time yet and part time weekday work is hard to come by and I've been eyeing side hustles! Thanks Heidi and Tawra!!
This was a great video...even if you don't need the money for "living expenses" what a great way to pay your mortgage down...or credit card debt. etc. Savings for retirement would be good or saving to buy a car (used) and paying cash for it. Thanks so much ladies for doing this video, I am sure you have helped a lot of people tonight. Have a Blessed day.
Wow this is just what I needed to hear, I can’t wait for your next one about selling on FB.
Strongly Suggest: Before selling anything, make sure to read and understand all of eBay policies. It will be worth it. There was a policy change just this month that upset a lot of Sellers. Know what you can and cannot do.
In reality, you can make even more on eBay without ever going to a yard sale or selling parts of broken equipment. However, I agree with starting small until you learn the ropes.
I honestly have not kept up in eBay the last few years because as you will see in upcoming videos I have moved in to other things. EBay has favored buyers more and more over the years. Some things are always secret about what you sell right?! Thanks for watching.
I used to sell on eBay. I had a 1990’s pinball machine that died. I sold it to a person who refurbished them. A few years later I found the “instruction / component” book for it. Sold it on eBay for 25.00! I was thrilled.
Yes some instruction manuals sell great! I forgot about that.
Awesome. Yep manuals and old magazines and def. Comics. I have a 1970s harlem globetrotters book with lots of signatures thinking about selling. I looked up the one for the year Secretariat the racehorse won triple crown and it was like almost $800 for the cheapest i could find. Crazy people buy anything at any cost. Insane.
My hubby, son (mr20) and I all have side hustles. Hubby is a mechanic and works from home on weekends. Mr20 has a TH-cam channel and is a serious gamer (he has a day job too). I'm a homemaker but also make and sell cloth bags. I also enter loads of competitions online. What I win is something we don't have to work for, and what we don't want is sold on Facebook marketplace. As far as buying fabric, people give me bags full. I also buy from thrift stores and garage sales. We were given an electric recliner when hubby was quite ill and unable to work. When our relationship with the recliner giver disintegrated beyond repair, we sold the chair for $250 (we didn't want bad memories in our loungeroom everytime we looked at it)
Congrats on doing what you can.its amazing when people see you trying they are willing to help you..like your fabric. I have a friend started a crochet group to give to dif. Organizations and people are always giving her bags of yarn. I have a couple friends that gives me all their cans cause i do metal scrapping too.
Imagine if you can make parts with 3-D printing, and sell them online.
Oh my gosh, Heidi, my husband just bought a part for our vacuum which is EXACTLY like yours!!! Lol. Selling the parts is a great idea.
No way! Too funny
I really enjoyed seeing both of you together. I never thought about selling parts on Ebay. I shared this video with my daughter. Thank you ladies!
I will be sharing this on FB and with two young moms who want to stay at home with their little ones.
I do ebay part time because i homeschool, but its very common to make 100 bucks per day, only about 50 would be profit, I totally love doing it!
What do you sell?
Tawra, You & Mike & Dave have really picked up your game. After watching LOAD for several years I was thinking about whether I wanted to continue watching your channel. Since you have come back in February you have really had interesting topics. Please take this as a compliment and Thank You.
Thanks! We are really trying to focus more on a few things.
Great video. Been selling on eBay for about a year. Thanks for the ideas.
That was awesome! I can't wait to see more of these episodes!!!!
I loved this video Tawra Great information Heidi was a great guest I love the interview format Thank you for sharing it 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Just received your cookbook and my mind is blown. Thanks! I've had my eBay pile for way too long and I just need to get started.
No more waiting. Just do it. It is worth it. eBay and PayPal take a bit, and don't forget the tax man, but it is worth it. Good luck!
Maybe you could also talk about how you figure taxes you would have to pay for the earnings. And also go into more detail about how to manage customer payments that come in to you. And how soon you ship the item, etc. :)
I set aside 25% in a savings for taxes. ~ Heidi
This is going to be a good series. Thank you!
Vintage sewing machine parts sell well.
I went to my first jumble sale today. I brought some amazing items for so little money. Im so pleased with purchases.
Heidi, you little eBay Delilah! That is amazing! Parts? Who knew? (I don't think I want to know what an "Exersaucer" is)
An exersaucer is a large round toy a baby sits in. It spins around and has toys attached to it. ,😅
You are crazy!
Johnathan, you are so funny! An exersaucer! Babies love them and so do parents. But to sell on eBay, think of what you use and what you buy. Somebody else is also buying that. :) That's why we sell LB mower parts.
Thank you so much for this! I am going to enjoy this series very much. I have been playing around with the idea of maybe trying to sell some things, and your video popped up, and I'm so grateful!
The two of you doing these types of helpful videos is awesome! Got some great ideas now from this video and can't wait to see your next one! Thank you ladies for sharing!
Wonderful seeing Tawra and Heidi!
Thanks!
Fabulous show. I'm intrigued, I need to educate myself!!!
Great info. Keep doing videos on reselling items!
Oh! How fun to watch Tawra and Heidi! I’ve missed seeing you two doing videos together.
My nephew likes to buy and fix up 4 wheelers and old cars. He buys alot of used parts for his needs on ebay
Ok I will be doing some research on this. Potential to live better is good motivation. Good video. 🙏✝️💕
Love this video! My side hustle isn't terribly lucrative, maybe a thousand dollars a year. I deliver for a local CSA (community supported agriculture) once a week. But, I receive a small amount of money for each box of produce that I deliver AND I receive a box of FREE local fruits and veggies for my own use every week. My husband travels during the week for business and my two kids and I eat a ton of veggies, so some weeks we live on the box that I receive plus whatever is in the pantry. I may not make a huge salary but the savings on fresh produce helps immensely over the year 😁
I'm considering parting out a sewing machine I bought at Goodwill.
I've noticed that just the Parts from board games and some preschool toys that are vintage will sell on eBay. I have a lot of oddball stuff around left over from my childhood. A lot of whole board games. But also quite a few parts that no longer have a match plus a few pieces from long gone toy sets. For me, they are all from the mid to late 1970's, no newer than early '80s.
Yes they sure do. Good niche. ~Heidi
Love this video; Content and length. Thanks
Love this! Nice to finally meet the famous Hiede :-
Get one of those carts that people in apartments use to put their groceries in so tarwa won't lose her rummage sale stuff.
great keep up with the great ideals..... love this kind of videos.
I sold on eBay, but never made $500, let alone $1,000 a month. I finally closed my eBay store because by the time I paid for the clothes, the store, other eBay and PayPal fees, I had very little money left. (And some months, it was further in debt.) Then eBay decided everyone needed to give free returns and we pay the postage to get the items back. Our store became a try on store and we started to get more returns back then we ever had since we opened the store. I am looking for a side hustle, and would like to find something I can do and succeed at.
I don't do clothing. Too hard of a sell. Try parts on items you don't use around the house. ~ Heidi
Finding stuff throwing away has been great for me. Neighbors move or trash things and i get it and sell it. Ebay has too much crap going on in it now(friend doin ebay is leaving it after over 10 yrs. and she used to make buccoo $ and ebay is screwing over so many honest and innocent people now) but Marketplace and offer up(no shipping..meet and usually when im heading to town(noextra gas) has been good to me. Lol next door neighbor drug out a fancy weightlifting set. I got it and listed it on offer up and a guy drove over an hr. To get it. Made $50 and one of the cords was broken...which i disclosed. Another neighbor left behind a bunch of toys(small puddlepool little tikes basketball goal few tonka and similar toy trucks few other things and sold it on marketplace for $25. A best sell was found at salvation army newwithtags($60) rare edition sundress $4 and stride rite dress shoes $4 new Sold on marketplace the dress for$30 and took shoes with me and sold those to same lady $10...all in a day. Bought a $2 net for a basketball goal and sold it $50 left behind by next door neighbor. Lots more things to. Working on getting back into that too. Found good stuff for me after hurricane Matthew and lots of metal scrap to take to the scrapyard too. Also think i will try again(new marketing strategy) to sell my homemade pinatas..not the walmart stuff ..higher quality and my diapercakes and wreaths too.
Yay Hi Heidi and Tawra
Hey!!! :-)
What about paying income taxes? Bookkeeping?
Thank you!👏👏👏👏
im 29 male and getting out hussled by some dudes mums! :) thanks for the content,each one teach one x
Tawra.... ask Heidi what the average time it takes for something to be bought.
It can take a long time. That is why I always tried to have at least 50 -100 things listed. My personal rule is I can get the price I want as long as I am patient. Some things sell within minutes of posting so it varies.
You can list items for auction or fixed. I list my "fixed" for a month and some items are bought within a day, or week. Some things stay longer. You need to be willing to hold onto items for a little while. I have made good money on eBay as well. Very good question! Maybe they should do an hour live show on eBay.
It depends on what you are selling and if it's on high demand.
Lots of info on TH-cam if you want to know more. You can see, for example, videos on how to ship an item or on what sells..etc. It's not easy and it takes work, but if you are interested, then it's worth a try.
Hello from Florida
This was awesome!
I remember back then. My thing is I never made any money on ebay. We are all so very different. I did find that camper parts sell really well when I was turning our old camp trailer into a concession trailer. Ebay isn't for everyone and you just have to keep trying to find your thing because there is no such thing as one size fits all. I didn't make money until I bought a mini school bus and turned it into an ice cream truck. So don't give up just keep trying.
Our thrift stores around here are all over priced.
Great video, thumbs up!!!
I really enjoy your videos.
Great vid! What's the name of Heidi's eBay store?
Excellent!
I do this and it pays for gardening stuff.
you go girls!!!
Awesome!!!
That’s how it is in Virginia 😂 people will snatch things away from you
I do local collection ☺
Me too. Ebay has gotten so bad that people i know thats been in it a long time is leaving. Plus u dont have all those fees to pay.
Hi how do you find what items sold for? I couldn't figure it out
Advanced settings. Scroll down to sold items and click that. It will then pull up all the items sold and price. in mobile app it is in the upper right.~ Heidi
Great tips. :")
Hi Heidi!!
Way2go Heidi! Awesome DC somebody doing great things from my own state. We have a extended family who does this and also takes free items and sells them on Facebook. This person has earned enough money to go visit her father in another state. The advantage this family member has is they work full time so they're out driving and so the roads that they drive bill will see free items plus a live in a rural area so they'll see things the end of the driveway. She does check Facebook for free items and resell them. Show is cleans I'm up and has them look brand new. Banks Plus she coupons I know you on living on the dime your family doesn't. But this family member has found so many items free couponing and has been able to supply many of the needs that her three grandbabies need. Plus she shops at the thrift store so with little or no money she's able to help out with their grandkids. The stuff that she buys at the thrift store for the grandkids when they're done she make sure there's no stain to make sure everything is very good shape and she turns around and resells it. I live north of where Heidi does and people might have garage sales but it's not like it used to be everybody is selling things through eBay or Marketplace on Facebook. As much as it's good one morning I want to give you have to be prepared for those people that might say they wanted you go to the meeting place or you wait for them to come and they don't show up there are those chances but in the long run what Heidi is sharing anybody can do. I have done it many many times different things resold it I don't do as much as I like just because I don't have a vehicle. But I tried to get a ride with a family member when they go at times. I think Heidi idea I hope many will try and their area all the way down to the chicken house. I know of a family that her husband died the mother and her daughter both their husbands passed away and that's how they supplemented their income even though they worked buying things reselling them finding free items supplemented things.
Hi Heidi! I'm also in Minnesota.
I am in Rochester. ~ Heidi
@@LivingOnADime I'm in Ottertail.
Lake country is beautiful. ~ Heidi
@@LivingOnADime Yes it is.
Hello Heidi 🤗Welcome
Hi Heidi! How much time in hours would you say it takes you to make $1000 a month?
5-10 minutes to research item, 3-4 minutes to list, 5-10 minutes to pack and mail. I never sell anything that earns me under $20. I honestly have not been faithful to eBay for a couple of years because as you will see in the upcoming videos I do other things now. A guess would be 10-20 hours of work? Depends how successful your items are at selling.
@@practicallyheidi8505 Thank you! Can't wait for your upcoming videos.
It takes a lot of hours when you first start. You also have to add going to the different places to buy items to sell. I believe the longer you do it, the faster you go. It's not as easy as she is making it sound. Maybe for her it was. If it was that easy, everyone would do it. I think it's worth a try, but you will have to learn as you go. To make a 1000 a month you really have to have what is in high demand. It's not always so easy to find that. It depends on where you live and what's available.
@@sandy-ke1kr Hi Sandy, thank you for your reply. When you say it depends on where you live and what's available, would you say that the more affluent your area the better your return?
One thing people starting out has said...to look around your own home 1st. And see what you can sell in your own home. Just a warning tho...make sure if you do ebay their rules will get you plus..b4 u get your $ its $500 in sales 25 transactions and 3 mths. If u sell $500 and its not 3 mths. Still dont get $..thats why i cant afford to do ebay but offer up and Marketplace on fb is really good and no shipping if you dont want.
