[Y53]You Make Money On Ebay

I've been on eBay longer than most people have known about it and I have seen a ton of changes. But they haven't really affected what I do or how much I make. My bottom line has just continued to increase over the years. I signed up and started buying in 1997 and began selling full time in 1998. This was before eBay was part of the common language and before most people realized you could make a living on it. 11 years is a long time in the real world, let alone the computer and internet world, so you imagine the changes I've seen on eBay.
But it's not really about eBay's changes, it's about consistency as a seller. What to sell, where to find it and how to list it.
The key is not just finding things that have value to resell; the key is to do it over and over and over and to maximize the item for the most profit. With constant changes from eBay-fee increases, policy changes, etc.-my bottom line has only gone up. I know how to make eBay listing "pop" and get maximum dollars.
[Quick Fact: As of October, money orders and checks are being eliminated as payment options on eBay]
Knowing something has value is one thing, but knowing how to get the most profit out of the item is much more important.
And believe me, I know first hand. There was a time when even I struggled to get the profit. In the beginning there was disaster after disaster, and miscalculation after miscalculation. But then there were the stunning victories. Seeing as this was my main source of income I had to keep my focus in the game. I learned techniques and strategies that worked time and time again- it was so easy that it made me laugh. But it took a bit of time. After many trials I perfected a system that is foolproof and a money maker like no other.
Now, I am a lazy guy. I probably should've put that out there first. I don't like to work, and in fact, it's a danger to my health. That was how I got to where I am.
When I was born I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a deadly lung disease. The doctors notified my parents that they shouldn't expect me to live past seven years of age-yikes. Working full time was not an option unless frequent and long hospital stays were desired. I couldn't pay the bills since working the hours couldn't be done, and the option of living with Mom for life was definitely not an option. So I panicked.
I began to sell everything in my apartment after my roommate moved out. And I do mean everything. Here was a surprise- things I thought would be worth money were worthless. Then, the things I just about threw into the garbage brought me more many than I imagined. Maybe not something crazy like thousands of dollars, but it added up very nicely. I noticed a pattern after a while with these items and found that they were available everywhere. People were just passing them up constantly. In everyday placesoften even in their own home, directly beneath their noses.
This was awesome. It hardly took any time at all for me to find these things, buy them, and then list them. It all added up to consistent profit right away.
It has been a secret I have kept for many years now. Even friends and family members have always been wanting to know what it is I do and how exactly do I do it. They know I am a lazy guy and wonder how I can make money and live like it is Saturday every day of the week.
I've been holding on to my incredible method for years, but no matter where I go (even right where here where I live) there simply is too much stuff. There is simply too much of it out there for me to do it alone. Although I wish I could.
[Quick Fact: The new feedback is something everyone knows about. Sellers are now unable to leave "negatives" for buyers, positive is the only option. But buyers still can leave all three types of feedback: negative, positive, and neutral. However, are you aware that "neutrals" count the same as negatives towards the feedback of a seller?]
I sell online every single day, and no matter the economy, no matter what the trend, I am always profitable without any hassles. I look around from time to time and see other experienced sellers making some of the mistakes I used to and it makes me cringe. They could be making so much more money and without the hassle they put inadvertently create.
Anyone can do it because it's easy. And the best part of making an extra income on eBay is that you do it on your time. Design your own hours while relaxing on the sofa as you earn an income. Even earning money while you sleep becomes a quick discovery when you follow the proven steps.
The fastest, low risk, and easiest way to make extra money is still on eBay even with all the policy changes and economy.
