  • Please help B4 its too late(EBAY SALES)

    Hello Every one,
    I had registered for an online income class to do buying and selling in Ebay.However i don't know for sure if people make a good living as promised from selling in ebay.Am about to be paying so much for this online income class but need information so i can be better informed. Can you really make a living by selling on ebay? What are the best things to sell? Where do you find the things to sell? How much works does it take to get set up to sell? i may be losing $1500

    There is NO WAY anybody should spend $1,500 to learn how to sell on ebay. I'd say you've been scammed. If you can get your money back, do it NOW!

      Don't pay to learn. You can learn all about selling on eBay for free on the eBay site.

      A nice thing about selling on eBay is that you can "dip your toes in the water" to see how it goes without investing any money. You can start just by selling what you have laying around the house that you don't use. You can list at least 50 items per month free, and you don't pay to ship anything until the buyer has paid you.

      I do some casual eBaying personally, but I also volunteer and run the charity auctions for a non-profit and am very active with that. I've been doing the charity auctions for almost a year now, and we've earned Power Seller status and netted over $3K.

      I never paid a dime to learn anything about it.

        Absolutely do not spend that money! Go to the library and check out Ebay for Dummies. It's really not that difficult.

          I've been selling items on eBay for a couple years now. I sell things around that house that are no longer needed. I also will buy certain things on eBay and resell them at a higher price. All in all I am a passive eBay seller so I probably only make an estimated $1,500-2,000 a year.

          I do know a guy who sells bicycle parts on eBay for a living and he seems to do well. Just keep in mind that between eBay and Paypal you can expect to pay monthly fees that could take a big bite out of your profits.

          As others have mentioned, that class sounds like a way to take advantage of people's inexperience with eBay. A simple Google search will reveal all the information you would ever need to learn about how to use eBay. If you can get your money back do it now. If not, make the most of that class and mark this experience down as a lesson learned.

              Chalk it up as a lesson learned. Could have been worse.
