If you want to start making money in eBay, it is very important that you choose the right products to sell on eBay. There are a lot of people fail selling on eBay because they choose wrong products to sell. Here to share with you some products not recommend selling on eBay.

1. Products price below $10

These items could be high view and high demand. But shipping charges is the big problem; it may cost higher than the item price itself. This can be very repellent to buyers; the products can get cheaper at their nearby store. For small items or accessories, you can group the items selling in sets like wedding accessories sets.
