The Most Successful Home-Based eBay Sellers
from the quite-a-job dept
You knew that there were people out there who just sat home all day, every day, selling stuff on eBay, but did you know what their life is like? Here's an article looking at the most successful small-business eBay seller, a husband and wife team that buys truckloads of used CDs from music stores who can't unload them, puts them up on eBay starting at $0.01 a piece, and waits for the money to roll in. The business is marginally successful, making them enough money to keep going, but the lifestyle is demanding (to say the least). They work all day, everyday, and have taken a total of 4 days of vacation over the past three years.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
