Make Money Selling Weight Loss Products on eBay

The weight loss product industry is a multi billion dollar business. Diets, diet food, diet drinks, diet pills, and diet snacks. Learn how to make money on eBay selling weight loss products that you can find on clearance or at reduced prices at stores in your neighborhood.

Difficulty: Moderate
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Check the clearance section at Walgreens. They usually have a variety of weight loss products marked down. Many are 50% - 75% off the regular price.

  2. Step 2

    Look at member's clubs like Sams, Costco, and BJs Wholesale. Member's clubs offer a larger size or "club pack" that isn't available in regular stores. You will also spend less since most of the inventory in member's clubs has a much cheaper unit cost than in other store.

  3. Step 3

    Watch for buy one get one free sales. Check the Sunday paper sales flyers. Usually, one of the big drug or grocery stores will have a specific weight loss product on sale buy one get one free. If you also have a coupon for the item, you can really reduce your cost.

  4. Step 4

    Check Big Lots weekly. Big Lots sells all kinds of closeout merchandise, but the inventory turns over quickly and you have to be in the right place at the right time to find the deals.

  5. Step 5

    Look for newer diet and weight loss books at thrift stores and used book stores. Anything published in the last year will still be popular.

  6. Step 6

    Refer to the resources section below on more ways to make money selling drug store items on eBay.

Tips & Warnings
  • Check the expiration date on any item that you sell.
