All the time I hear about people making $1000/month or so on Ebay...

Anyone know what they sell? How the hell are they making that much money on there?

Fill me in!! I want a slice of the pie!!

:D

If everyone knew the answer to this question I don't think people would be making $1000+ / Mo. on Ebay :)

You should have written an ebook and sold it on Ebay, that is pure genius.

Too late, I already stole his idea.

They buy 100k+ of trash and turn it over on ebay like a giant yard sale that never ends . For me like being placed in hell with no way out . Let me edit this for you . Find a spot anywhere and sell crap . You will make $$ . Ebay takes the rent out of the formula. You will have shipping costs and the returns can be enormus,depending on your 'product'.

To me a 'NearlyNew' shop or what ever would be better as I could see who I was dealing with . The cars/boats you see on Ebay are from car lots or boat shops most times . Drop and ship users usually dont last long .

I'd have to disagree. I think ebay is a great resource for people to buy hard-to-find things at a fair price, and also its a great way to find the fair market value of a particular item.

While I do agree that people in general are stupid, but to say only stupid people buy things on ebay is not fair. I think the old days of $1000/mo earnings are long over IMO.

Lol. I know someone that cleared over $120k on ebay in the last year. There's lots of $ to be had, but those who know would be foolish to tell others.

If you look long enough and hard enough, you will figure it out. no one will hand anything to you on a plate(unless you're a hot female). Plenty of startup capital helps as well.

I said "can be" stupid, not everyone. Unfortunately (or fortunately for the seller) people are willing to pay high shipping/handling prices because they think they are getting a deal with a low selling price... it's all just marketing... you gotta learn the game...
