OK, let's hear it! How much do you make on Ebay a week?

ihatebay · #1 03-29-2007

For me, it varies.

Before I got suspended Gross Profit was $4000, after I got suspended $2-3000.

I usually sell 15 items on each user name, and I usually have 2-3 user names a week to sell a total of 45 items.

What are all of your profits per week solely on Ebay?

How did you manage 3 user names at the same time? DID you accept paypal for all the transactions?

Wao, ihatebay..I really admire you

For me I started slowly..total revenue per month around 2k USD- and net profit approx. 1k USD.

Cheers

Well... you can have as many user names as you want. You can have up to 3 using the same identity (credit card, etc). So, basically if you have two identities (at the time I used my dad's account, and mine) you have 6 accounts right?

I used to accept Paypal, but the fees were around $1000 each month and they limited my account once. After that I never used Paypal b/c you know know when they can limit your account.

AndreasF:

I started out only earning maybe $500-$1000 a week until I became a powerseller.

Wow, 75% profit, thats some nice monies I think! I'm happy with my 50% on certain products I sell. Good stuff!

Who easily makes 2K a week from eBay...I am talking about profit, after all eBay and PayPal fee's...?

For example, I am making about $600 - $1000 a week...but I want to increase my sales...

If you make 2K + a week...drop a message....and let us know, what is your secret?

jscan · #8 05-08-2008

i use to for a while back in 05-06 when i had more time and ebay wasnt such a load of ****

now i can make anything between $500 - 1000 a week, sometimes alot more depending on my stock levels and the current sales trends.

twdell · #9 05-08-2008

there is no secret. it's just back breaking hard work, and puting in at least 12 hours every day. you need the right product with good profit margins too.

Sammi007 · #10 05-08-2008

Last year I was making $1500 - $2000 a week (That was nice....) and then eBay screwed all my accounts...4 of them....

Superpak · #11 05-08-2008

Wow $500-$1000m how u hiding that from the tax man...

tvaughan08 · #12 05-08-2008

$2000 was my max until ebay got dirty

Sammi007 · #13 05-08-2008

casta, I got a couple of bank accounts in different countries and PayPal accounts in different countries...so I am distributing the cash 50/50....I can't use old PayPal accounts anymore though (don't want to link them) which makes it difficult....

imjustme · #14 05-08-2008

I make about $8000-$10000 a month right now, all with ⊗⊗⊗⊗ eBay and ⊗⊗⊗⊗ PayPal accounts. Tax free, too. Before eBay suspended me, I had 1 account only and made $1000-$2000 a month. eBay actually helped me :D

yahhtrick · #15 05-08-2008

That is the truth. Now that I have spread my sales over 4 or 5 different ebay accounts I am making almost triple what I was making with my one powerseller account. eBay shuts one account down and 5 more will come in its place. Way to go eBay.

411guru · #16 05-08-2008

Wow some very impressive numbers you guys. I sold digital items and my best was $2500 a month. Thats in sales, but profit was around $2200. Thats not alot but considering I didn't have to package or ship products, which saved me time and money.

I had no cost of product and I had infinite inventory. It was awesome. I didn't even have to email the item to buyers as I had e-junkie set up for auto-email once paid. I just sat there and get text on my cellphone for each sale. I got 500 text in one month. Simply awesome. Now its all gone. Thanks damn ebay

I can't make ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts because the only thing I would sell is digital items, which is banned now so ⊗⊗⊗⊗ accounts would be pointless.

jscan · #17 05-08-2008

my profits going to take a bit of a battering come may 21st when ebay force us to use paypal.

Sammi007 · #18 05-08-2008

jscan - just make a couple of PayPal accounts, you should be fine after the 21st if you prepare yourself...If something goes wrong with PP and you need help with "Graphics", just PM me....

jscan · #19 05-08-2008

I have paypal accounts, just there fee's thats all, thanks tho

ebayhateluv · #20 05-08-2008

12 hrs,??, how about 16-20 hr/day... right now its 11:40pm, est,, i just started Packing orders from the night shift--prob wont get to bed till 3-4am, then back up at 7am for kids to school...

NO MORE---coming down in my jammies--sipping coffee-logging into 1 paypal acct and printing labels... Now- its juggling everything,, like having 12 jobs,instead of 1...

jscan · #21 05-08-2008

Nowdays because i dont make as much as i use to because i dont have the time, i generally only spend 3-4 hours a day. in the old days i use to spend maybe 7-8 listing,packing,sending,invoicing,ordering the lot

i honestly cant imagine doing 16-20hrs a day, and having kids too ( as im not a kid person )

Last semester, I quit my job. I was making $1500 a week and was living the life! Living on campus had now worries. Then BAM suspneded. After that I went 3 mos with 0 sales still used craigslist a bit. Now I am back at about $500 a week. My goal is $3000 a week across multiple accounts this summer.
