do you think its possible to make a good living from ebay ?
i do have an extremely well paid job ,i was actually thinking of setting up my two neices and my nephew with ebay accounts stock and a little capital.
I have shop on ebay – I have to say that it is extremely hard work – your sales are based on good photos, obviously positive feedback and clever listing. I also work full time so often, it feels like I have two jobs. I have noticed a decline in business over the past few months – probably due to the credit crunch. That said, last year I earn’t more from Ebay than I did from my job however, the fees can be quite high when you start selling in any volume. The key is to research whatever you want to sell to check out the competition – also look at the completed items to see what they are actually selling for. Ebay has tightened up the rules lately which means that there is less room for rip off merchants – which is only a good think. Unfortunately, ebay has a slight stigma to it which can limit what you can sell an item for. I offer a 7 day return policy which I have found gives people confidence to buy. I have only ever given one refund and so, it does seem to work. Start off small to test the water and work up from there. I have had a shop on Ebay for around three years. I am now setting up my own website.
