Over-the-counter medication: Need to replenish your supply of Advil, Visine, Airborne, or Mylanta? I buy nearly all of my over-the-counter medication on eBay. It's almost always drastically cheaper, and you can also search for generic or store brands. I save hundreds of dollars a year doing this.

Makeup: There are certain shades and certain brands of makeup you know you will always use. It's easy to search for these on eBay and buy them in bulk or at a discount. It's also a great way to find discontinued colors that you love and can't live without! Set up a search for your favorite discontinued items and save it so you are emailed whenever an auction matching your criteria comes up. you will be able to keep using a certain shade of lipstick despite the fact that it was discontinued years ago.

eBay Business Supplies: So many people who sell on eBay using padded envelopes or other supplies from the USPS - not the free Priority or Express mail supplies, but the expensive supplies sold in post offices. If you know you're going to sell more than just a few items, buy your supplies on eBay! Great discounts are to be had on bubble mailers, bubble sheets, labels, and more.
