Get Ready for Back-to-School with eBay!

Ack! I can’t believe it’s “Back-to-School” time already. Some schools here in AZ are already back and most start within the next two weeks. My teacher friends and fam­ily all are headed back right now. And, the BIG kicker for me is that Big Brother starts Kinder­garten in less than 2 weeks! Cue the tears and our first (of many, many years to come) of the back-to-school prep­ping frenzy. Clothes/uniforms, back­packs, lunches, sup­plies…oh my!

Whether you’re deal­ing with this back-to-school time with a Kinder­gart­ner or a col­lege fresh­man, one place you might not have thought about is eBay.

There are a lot of back-to-school pos­si­bil­i­ties to con­sider (whether you’re buy­ing or sell­ing)– back­packs, lunch boxes, back-to-school clothes/school uni­forms, cal­cu­la­tors, books, and more! For older stu­dents, con­sider using eBay to upgrade tech­no­log­i­cal devices like com­put­ers or graph­ing cal­cu­la­tors! If you’re look­ing for any of these sorts of things, I def­i­nitely rec­om­mend brows­ing around on eBay. And, those of you inter­ested in mak­ing some extra back-to-school cash should con­sider sell­ing some of these items you might have around the house. Remem­ber, the aver­age fam­ily has $7000 worth of unused items in their house!!  If you’re new to sell­ing on eBay, you can check out these beginner’s tips for sell­ing here.
