Depends on what you want to sell - if you are into books you might want to go for abebooks.com which supports Indian sellers and is picked up by book search engines like www.fetchbook.info. I'd recommend ebay and although it has a short listing period plus mandatory rental fee, if you have a good range of products(engineering textbooks/IT books for e.g), one can get a decent market from the internet-savvy middleclass, after a lot of initial hard work of course :) PK,

The truth is that Americans are equally picky about prices and costs if not more and we face tough competition(if I may dare use the word) from them. The bottomline is that any kind of part-time business needs good amount of investment(money and time) if you really want to strike it big and desis have no chance at all.

A good number of American housewives buy things at their local flea markets and garage sales at rock-bottom prices and sell them on eBay as antiques. And there are articles in magazines with tips on how to sell successfully on eBay. So, it's either surviving over folks dumber than you or it's an art/business/passtime or a good source of supplementing income. However you choose to look at it. -KM PK,
