Looking to sell stuff over Ebay. Need some suggestions.
 

Hi all,

I hail from a country which is somewhere between a 3rd world country and a developed nation thus the currency isn't very strong but cost of living is cheap and the local goods are cheap. I would like to sell stuff to the other nations who have a strong currency so I can make use of the conversion rates. The question is, what can I sell? Any suggestions? Something cheap and small perhaps.

Thanks.

I thought I read recently that eBay has disabled the available of selling overseas due to the high percentage of scams. Did I just make this up?

Hrm? I'm pretty sure you can still stuff worldwide. People are still doing it.

alright this is my cup of tea here. You can sell anything to anyone in the world. Just stay away from Nigeria and a few other well known scam countries.

What is special in your country. Something that is unique to your country and is very cheap. You can get a better deal when you find something and buy the seller out. I have never had anyone turn me down when I wanted to buy all the product he had, whether it was CDs, tropical fruit, small trinkets, whatever you decide to sell.

Where are you from anyway?

You might want to do a search for your country in the ebay home page search. Just type in your country and see what comes up. Also check the completed items to see what items are selling and the prices they are selling for.

I am from Malaysia.

Hrm, what's special in my country? They have some prety cheap coconut necklaces, jewelery, etc. What else eh, oh yeah, pirated stuff, dvds, cds, watches, you name it. But I don't want to go down that road, I want to do this all legit. There are some other traditional stuff like Wau (Malay kites) but those are too huge, and maybe some chinese tea pots, but I think people rather get those from China. Hey, what about traditional clothings? We got batik (silky material) traditional clothes here and batik cloth pieces. Those are insanely cheap here. I saw some on EBay (lots of it by the way) and they fetch a good price. Don't think any of it from Malaysia though.

Any of the above popular?

By the way, the local EBay is full of crap. I think half of the things there are pirated and make no sense.
