Just a random thought, but do people think “lets eBay it” these days instead of lets take it to the Charity Shop / put it in them massive Charity Bins at the local dump?

Only crossed my mind as I was looking on eBay to see what price an item I got last summer for £50 was at now, someone is selling it for a crazy £1,000 (normal price is around £600 to £700) come on it’s a digital item, it’s not even real. Well the card it comes on is real, but that’s not what people are paying for. In a recession, I can’t believe an item like that would get this kind of money, will have to follow the bids and see if they sell.

Anyway was taking a look around what was for sale as I am thinking of plugging an eBay and Amazon back feed in to a few of my new websites and noticed a huge trend in selling clothes, so that mean charity shops are not getting the clothes they once got, not going to loose any sleep over it, just a thought!

These days eBay selling stuff you no longer want is a lot easier, even taking the photo of the item has become simple task as more and more people these days have a digital camera.

I was showing my sister how to list items via eBay and I was shocked to see just how simple they have managed to make it, years ago when I used to buy and selling stuff on eBay for fun you had to know a bit of HTML to get a half decent listing, these days it’s one simple page that you fill in, upload your photo(s) on that page and press the button and your listing is live… costing around 25p to list the item.

So instead of letting your old stuff gather dust, waiting for the day you chuck them out, why not chuck them up on eBay and make a few quid.
