It is maybe not widely-known that it is possible to sell ser-vices o-n eBay, in reality there's a sizable category devoted to it, called Speciality Services.' To give an idea to you of some of the possibilities, some of the primary sub-categories include:
Advice & Instruction
Artistic
Custom Clothing and Jewelry
Auction Services
Visual & Logo design
Media editing and duplication
Publishing
Recovery and repair
Web and Computer ser-vices
As you can see, there's a significant variety available, and remember that there are particular niches even within each one of these main sub-categories. As an example, within the e-bay auction services' class, there is more groups including assessment, record services, packaging and transport, and shopping assistance. Web Address includes more about where to consider it.
I bet that either you can offer something that falls under one-of these groups, or you know of another person whose ser-vices you could encourage (and have a commission).
I'd suggest that the first step is to search these classes and see what folks are giving. You'll soon see which topics are swamped with suppliers thrashing each other on price, whereas others will have holes in-the industry waiting to be filled by you.
Let's assume that you have a friend that happens to be a specialist at camera re-pair, yet in the neighborhood area his shop has been desperate for enough work.
A quick check-in the camera & photo' category of restoration and repair' shows only 6 listings, and only 1 seller seems to be a standard because category, AND they are getting what seems to be always a decent amount for the company. I'd say that this represents a huge chance for another person to provide a quality service and come in-to that market.
That's just one example of how you can offer a service into a HUGE audience, quickly and cheaply. I'm surprised that more sellers are not doing this, services are such an untapped market right-now o-n e-bay.
Continuing with the camera repair case, imagine when the business proprietor created some camera repair' DVD education books - basic instructions o-n simple maintenance tasks from an insider expert', and then provided those DVD's for sale being a backend product.
