Are you looking for ways to make extra income for your family from home and to rid yourself of extra clutter? eBay is a great choice for you and your family giving you a chance to clean up and make some dough at the same time. It can also be a great way to teach your children about entrepreneurship. My sister has been selling on eBay for years and her kids have become a big part of the experience. It’s been so neat to watch my niece and nephew learn about business and to see them strategically finding new ways of bringing in income through eBay sales. It’s a way for the whole family to earn money and to teach valuable lessons about business.
This fall eBay has partnered with Marie Kondo, world-renowned organizational expert and best-selling author of The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up, to develop 15 brand new tidying tips created exclusively for eBay users. These tips uncover the secrets to de-cluttering your home and discovering money that may be hiding where you least expect it, making cleaning out/cashing in on eBay a fun parent-child bonding experience. Discover how to unlock the “magic of tidying” and then sell items on eBay – making extra money for Back to School essentials. The tips are available for download exclusively on eBay.com/sellitnow, featured in the “People Want What You Got” section of eBay’s website serving as an ongoing resource for parents to download.
Here are a couple of Marie Kondo’s great tidying tips:
- If you haven’t used your household items and clothes more, there’s a reason. Since clothing, handbags and shoes are bestsellers on eBay, you may choose to sell some of the fashion items that aren’t bringing you joy.
- That laptop you loved only a few years ago is already outdated. And, maybe that old calculator and tablet, too. But some people really love that ‘vintage’ stuff. So out with the old and get your fingers ready for the new.
Selling on eBay has never been easier – and with a global community of 157 million active buyers, there’s always an eBay shopper in search of your clothing, electronics and other popular household items. Clothing, handbags and shoes, in particular, are bestsellers on eBay – especially items that are new or like-new.
