If you ask many sellers what the major drawbacks to selling on eBay are then many would say the packaging and shipping of items. Who really wants to get up early in the morning before work to drop off a package at the post office? Or, to come home and have to rush to the post office in the freezing cold?

Many sellers are now resorting to selling eBooks but that market is becoming over crowded and it’s very difficult to make any real money selling eBooks on eBay unless you are very creative. In this very short and concise special report I reveal innovative products or services you can sell on eBay without packaging or shipping and it’s NOT eBooks.

Innovative Idea #1 – Sell Domain Names

Domain names can be bought for under $10 and if you manage to choose one that is in demand then you could go and sell it on eBay for $20 or more. You can easily locate these domains just by testing. It requires very little effort and sometimes you stumble upon hidden gems that you could go and sell on eBay for four figures!

Innovative Idea #2 – Sell Your Writing Services

The demand for eBooks and articles has never been greater. Many people want these written for them and if you have expert knowledge in a particular niche you could write eBooks on that subject for the highest bidder.

Innovative Idea #3 – Sell Your Graphic Design Ability

On the same lines as selling your writing services, you could sell your graphic design ability or web design skills. You could design eCovers, banners or websites to the highest bidder. You could learn these skills in just a few days and all you really need is a copy of Photoshop and maybe some action scripts.

Innovative Idea #5 – Sell Linking Space or Advertising Space on Your Website or in Your Newsletter

Perhaps the method that requires the least effort is selling linking space or advertising space. If you have a website with high amounts of traffic or a high Google page rank, then you could sell links or space on your website for adverts. A one way link is very important in terms of search engine ranking and your link could greatly benefit your buyer. You could charge perhaps $10 for a link for one month. After the sale you could then ask the buyer if they would like to buy the link on a monthly basis and they can pay you $10 every month. This is great for residual income.

Similarly, you could sell advertising space in your newsletter or ezine. If you have a large subscription base then you could charge a lot of money for this. For even more money, you could charge buyers for a solo ad to your subscribers. You could promote their product in one of your newsletters and you could easily charge 10c for every subscriber you have.

Innovative Idea #6 – Sell Software

There have been many software products which have taken eBay by storm over the last few months. Some sellers make thousands of dollars per week selling software that they have created or have had created for them. You can hire software developers from websites such as elance.com or rentacoder.com to develop the product and then you sell it. The software should speed up a process or take over from a manual task that needs doing or assist the user in some way, whether it be helping them research better or create things quicker.

Innovative Idea #7 – Sell Keyword Lists

One person I know has a lot of success creating keyword lists and selling them on eBay. The beautiful thing is you can use software to create keyword lists in seconds and then sell them to your buyers.

Innovative Idea #8 – Sell Websites

It’s not hard to build websites nowadays and there are many that you could build. You could build one with the primary source of income being adsense and affiliate sales and you could build another purely for sales of products. You can build these types of sites in under a day or hire someone else to do them for you and then sell them for $20 - $30 on eBay.
