eBay is one of the oldest and best-known marketplaces in the world, with a strong international presence.
How it works
You list your products and buyers can purchase them at a fixed price or through an auction. eBay charges listing and/or sales fees depending on the listing type and category.
Which products tend to work
- Collectibles and hard-to-find items.
- Used or refurbished products.
- Niche parts and accessories.
What to keep in mind
- Fees and policies change: check the current official conditions.
- International selling involves shipping, customs and taxes.
- Seller reputation influences visibility.
When does it make sense?
When your product has international demand or belongs to a niche that buyers actively look for.
