If you think building a massive amount of accounts for use later is a hassle then you need to stop doing this.

2 items per day is all you sell?

Guess you need to stop completely, selling 2 items per day would be a total waste of my time.

Just to let you know I sold over 200 items yesterday for more then 10,000 in sales. Profits around 4,000. I spent about 2 hours packing, making labels etc today for them. Add in the time I spent buying the items, picture taking and listing I made probably made 350 per hour. Not too shabby.

Now would you consider that a hassle?

I now have 50+ working accounts with feedback and another 50 new accounts I am starting to work on to build feedback.

My goal is to have 100 working accounts by Christmas time with no selling limits to any account.

My other goal is to have 300 or more accounts created and aging for later use.


Oh and I sold 25 items this week on Amazon and 5 items on Craigslist.



Guess you get out what you put in and if you are not willing give the effort and put in the time you wont succeed at anything in life.

Not that hard.

Multiple banks with 3-6 per bank in both my and DH names.

Some in business names.

What am I pushing?

Is it illegal to have more then one bank account or something?

I had an awesome Memorial Day Weekend, Total sales equaled 120 BIN's sold, I almost dropped by phone in my BBQ Grill when I saw all the emails from Paypal with "Payment Received". Sad part, having to package and ship them all, lol.

I know some of you can package 1,000's a day but I could barely get them all packaged by the end of the day Monday.

Anyways, hope everyone had a good holiday weekend.

Holiday sales are INSANE for me. I will be preparing for holiday inventory within the next month or so. Last holiday season I was able to loan money to my parents for a very nice home paid in cash, from the holiday season alone.

I have spent all day going through 19 accounts that sold items yesterday.

I have sit in this chair since 8 am this morning and it is now 7 pm.

Other then fixing food and taking care of kids as needed I have spent all these hours printing, listing new items, answering questions etc.

More then 300 items sold just yesterday.

And to think someone here posted the other day they hate to spend more then 1 hour working on ebay.

As someone in a video I watched a while back said, get the heck off the couch and do something if you want to make money.

My butt is asleep but the money I made is well worth sitting for almost 12 hours.

But, it cannot be a new wholesale item that everyone can get.

I specialize in antiques and collectibles therefore smaller competition and the pool of people in this area is shrinking all the time as most younger 35 or below are and never were interested in antiques and collectibles.

Most older people I watched and learned from since I was a kid are gone or retired. I hardly ever see young people at auctions anymore. Mostly older people who are just doing it for fun now.

Many that have no clue bid up stuff 5 times its value or run out of money.

Antiques and collectibles for those with years of knowledge is still highly profitable.

Add in yard sale crap and a few new things and profits in volume is what I think goes.

Not much competition in the auctions anymore. I think it is because people who used to have money and knowledge are not showing up and if they do they are not buying anymore.

The other thing is Americans are getting older and shrinking their houses and therefore the items they have. I am seeing a nice trend of better goods coming to auctions lately. For a few years it was mostly low end household stuff but not anymore.

I have a goal to sell 500 items in one day. Might never hit it but I am going to try.
