  • Ebay/Online Selling

    So I had jumped on the bandwagon of trying to generate an extra $100 per month via online sales so that I could put that towards loans. Well I started on June 1st pretty aggressively by selling both textbooks and high end cosmetics/body care that I had no use for. My total after 24 days? $572!!!

    Who knew I had that much laying around that other people would have an interest in buying. I know I can't keep up the nearly $600 per month average but it's nice to know that I have the ability to make money this way. Just wanted to share my success story

    That's fantastic! I really don't think most people realize how simple it is to make money online or how much stuff the average family has lying around the house that could be sold to a new owner for a nice chunk of change.

      Absolutely fantastic!! I think many turn to Ebay because it's a lot easier to "talk" someone down on an item than it would be at Walmart or Target.

      I also find it encouraging to start my own Ebay store after I move, in order to supplement my income. I won't be out to make millions; but I will keep busy and yet still able to enjoy the smaller/fun things around my house.

      Again...congradulations!

        My ultimate store is to start Ebay store for bath and body products (I can make my own, thus I am selling all the ones I had bought!). Right now, I actually have had the most success on LiveJournal in terms of selling the cosmetics. It has been so easy and fun because you can haggle with people then when you agree on a price you just send them a paypal invoice. Easy as pie!
