subject: Tap into the eBay goldmine [print this page] The online auction website, eBay, is allowing thousands of people to make a good living from the comfort of their homes.
This method of making money is suitable for a wide range of people from vastly different backgrounds. It is ideal for mothers, since they can stay home to take care of their children, and help to support the family at the same time.
I have personally used eBay to sell various items, including furniture, souvenir theatre programs, magazines, cassettes, DVDs and photographs.
My biggest sale was actually my first: I sold 30 photographs of English football players for around US$450.
eBay is a user-friendly way of selling all sorts of products. People with no background in business can build a substantial income over a short period of time, if they do a little research and learn some of the techniques that are used by the most successful sellers on the site.
Some people who have had a lot of success with eBay sales are now spending a lot of their time teaching other people how to use their strategies to achieve similar success.
Like any business, it is best if you can learn from other people's mistakes, so that you can avoid making the same mistakes yourself.
