Shipping Ebay Sale Items
We are back to work today and the first order of business is to pack items to ship that sold and were paid for while we were camping. If you auction is set up with payment instructions, many people win the auction and immediately go to PayPal and make a payment. We were camping while people were doing this. Do you see some of the magic with Ebay?
DO NOT get me wrong. Ebay sales can be quite a bit of work. You need to take pictures, write up descriptions. Often you need to research your items before you list them so you start their price correctly and have them in the best category for the most exposure. If you went full time selling on Ebay, you could put in a full eight hour day taking care of business.
Although I talk about how easy making money is on Ebay, it is relative to making money doing other things. I think Ebay is easy money, but it is also work. Yes, it is a fast way to get some money coming in, but it does require work.
Any business that says you will make money overnight and get rich in 60 days, or get $2500 for a $100 investment is usually looking for your money, not your success. Sure, some people jump into Ebay or internet marketing and skyrocket to success. You read these types of stories in any type of online or off line business. For most it is applying sound principals and building a business over a period of time.
The big plus with any online business is you can get started for next to nothing compared to a physical, street address business. Online business enterprises level the playing field and make it possible for the little business to appear just as big and prosperous as any other business on line.
