Ebay $$

Every time I find myself in a financially desperate situation I turn to Ebay. Its the best way to get fast cash without investment. All you need to do is go through your closet,attic or garage and wella instant biz! I once sold a old bird cage that had been in my basement for years for 125.00. Its a double reward because you also get to eliminate some clutter.

The only downside is the insertion fees can really mount up if the item doesn’t sell. The best way to avoid this is to do a search for the item you want to sell and see if he has any bids. Chances are if they couldn’t sell it neither can you.

It’s pretty user friendly and the only tool you really need is a digital camera (don’t even think about posting something without a photo because it just won’t sell.) Its a good idea to stick with small items that you can easily ship because the cost of shipping has really skyrocketed. Obviously no one would want to pay 10.00 dollars for your old B&W TV and then 50.00 shipping ! So think of the overall cost when choosing the items you want to sell.

It’s also a good idea to sign up for a PayPal account because you will get your money instantly. Otherwise you will have to wait for the US mail system to deliver your check then hope it doesn’t bounce. If you want your money even quicker use the BUY IT NOW option, so you may not have to wait for days for the auction to end. The other good thing about BUT IT NOW is you get to fix your price and not run the risk of giving your item away.

So give Ebay a try the next time your scraping the bottom of your purse.
