Well, a couple of months ago I decided to start clearing out some of the boxes in our garage and I opened up my very own eBay account. This has been a real learning experience and I am happy to report that over the past 7 weeks I have made a little over $1000.
Boy, have I learned a lot about listing, packing, shipping and the importance of feedback. I have also learned that in doing research on the items I wasn’t sure how to describe, I found new items that I wanted to buy (that can be a down side). I have sold 28 items and bought only 2. I now have a really neat Lucky Brand Guitar Bracelet and Grant has a “new to him” silver Mazda Miata Convertible. Zoom Zoom.
Come to think of it, you might just want to focus on selling and not buying, at least initially. I have shared my new hobby with a good friend, Traci, and she and her mom are now equally obsessed with scouring the garage, closets, drawers, cabinets and even under the kids beds (I’ve found stuff there that, well never mind). Anyway, if you haven’t tried selling your unwanted items, I highly recommend it. It’s so easy to get started and I bet you will be surprised by what other people around the world are interested in purchasing. I did sell a figurine to someone in Poland, that’s pretty cool.
I would be happy to answer any questions you might have on selling on eBay. Just leave a comment below. And as I learn more, I will be posting new articles here.
