Hello all,
I have worked my own eBay business for nearly two years now with overall very good success. I am a Silver Powerseller currently with 100% positive feedback, and over 500 customers.
However, I have found that the only way to make a significant full-time income from eBay is to have a large-scale operation involving employess, a proper warehouse, and a high volume of sales.
As of recently I was fortunate enough to find a business opportunity that matched my values AND offered the potential to make FAR MORE than I was currently making with my eBay business and Full-Time job combined. I have now quit my day job and am liquidating my eBay inventory in order to put the energy it deserves into this new opportunity.
I am curious to see if anyone else has had success with eBay, enough so to make a comfortable full-time income without having to delegate any of the work to paid employess.
Anyone???

Hi Matt,
I was also an ebay powerseller but I was a one man operation and all of the packing and shipping was making me crazy. Personally, I think you can do ok and make a decent amount of extra cash but to make anything even approaching a six figure income I think is all but impossible without as you have stated, a large operation.
Look at it this way. If you buy a product from a company such as SMC wholesale for a $1.00 and sell it on ebay for $2.00 (we'll leave out listing fees for the sake of example here), you would have to sell $4,000.00 per week volume in order to make $100k per year. Thats a lot of ceramic frogs!
What I did was join a solid network marketing company... yes, you heard right. A network marketing company. And guess what? It was the best darn move I ever made. Finding the right one however can be a daunting task. But there is alot of great info on these boards that will allow a person to do that.
What's the catch? Simple, it's a performance based business. Which means you will get paid exactly what you are worth. But for some people like me, thats a blessing because I can determine my own paycheck which at this point is getting substantial.
Great question though!
