   You could take a look at the craft section & see what sells well. There's a lot of craft stuff on there. With ebay and paypal fees, i don't think you really end up with much profit (especially for low value items).

   Take a look at craft stores online, they sell a large variety of items. Maybe you could look at items from overseas, that aren't easily available here or vintage items? I'd love to have a craft store but i think you have to be careful with what you invest in!

   Good luck!

   The beauty of Ebay is that just about anything can and does sell. I'm not sure what "paper crafts" refers to, but there are buyers for literally everything! It's true that your profit will be better with bigger-ticket items, but it's not true that it's not very profitable in general! My cousin makes her living entirely through selling artwork on Ebay.

   If you'd like, message me with your email and I'll forward to you her newsletter with tips on how to set up a successful arts-and-crafts business on Ebay. I'm planning on doing the same thing myself in a couple months.

   Good luck!

   actually hand crafted stuff on ebay is a lost cause. You can give it away there, but you can not get your time out of it. And my time is worth more than a nickle a day!!

   Try Etsy.com for handcrafted sales store.

   Usually you would be doing a craft for a long time until you are better at it than anyone else and your friends are begging you to sell to them. So, whatever craft you are doing that falls under that category, is what you should sell.
