Lots of people make enough money selling golf clubs on eBay to retire. Before you dream of doing this, there are some important steps you need to take to be successful in selling golf clubs.

The first thing you’ll need to do to sell your golf clubs is set up an eBay account. To do this, you will need an email address and an account with PayPal. If for some reason you are unable to establish an account with PayPal, you can still use another means to receive your payment.

After doing this, you need some sticks to sell. Do your research to find out what are some of the most popular golf clubs that golfers are looking to buy, and then once you have that information, try to get those golf clubs for as cheap as you can.

Then you need to create your ad. The first thing eBay will ask you is the category. Choose sporting goods as your category.

Next, you’ll want to write the title of your article. eBay gives you 55 characters to do this. Look at other people’s headlines for selling golf clubs and find out how you can say the most attention-grabbing headline in those 55 characters.

After you’ve created an attention-grabbing headline, you can fill in the subheading if you’d like. Some people see this as too much information at the top of the ad and choose to leave it blank. Try and see what works best for you.

Next, you must write a description of your golf clubs. Be brutally honest when writing the description. If you have a scratch somewhere, say you have a scratch. Be sure to include the brand name for each part of the golf clubs. Also make a separate point of the condition of each part of the golf clubs. If you have several different brands that you sell together, be sure to tell the reader about each one.

It’s helpful to include pictures with your listing, as many people don’t want to buy something they can’t see first, even if it’s just a photo. Make sure your golf clubs are clean and in good repair. To take the pictures you will need a digital camera and an image hosting site. A good image hosting site to use is Picasa, but you can choose any one you like.

Make sure the photos are clear and there are no obtrusive objects in the background. Take the photos and upload them to the image host. Once in the image host, you should have the option to rotate, crop, and brighten them. Take your time so that you have the best photo possible. Then link it to your eBay listing.

Your final step is to set the price and duration of the auction. Some people really like to start with a penny, while others like to set a reserve price. Some like the Buy It Now feature. However, you should test to find what works best for you.

Those are the important steps you need to start selling golf clubs for a living on eBay. I wish you all the best to earn money this way.
