Oh no, I bought the stealth already. Working in my 5th stealth now. Haha, didn't mean to be offensive if it came that way. Although I couldn't think of anyway that it could come as offensive.

It did lol. I am here to help thats all. Just here to help. And looking at my thanks. Im doing ok. If I can help one person. I have paid it forward. Everything cant be talked about. Like as y I would do stealths in 1997 since I never been suspended. I put that out so maybe one person reading would say "hey im going to create some more accounts " no offense taken now. Its all good. And good luck. Congrats on ur 5 stealths

Also. Glacier by the way I just saved 15% on car insurance. Lol lol

eBay is my main source of income. I do odd jobs here and there. Every year it seems to get harder and harder as stealth accounts change each year. Do to PP requirements here in the US. But this is what I do for a living right now. From about July to Feb I am checking on eBay etc non stop.

Working on other ventures, going back and taking other classes. Trying to get back into the swing of college to get these pre-req Biz classes done so I can take the GMAT and get into a MBA program.

I do somewhat regret when I was in college, I paid for college by relying on eBay. Granted it paid some big bills. Some very big bills. But I never had time to do a internship etc. I use to load up on classes during the spring then go easy in the fall because during finals I had to package xmas stuff like crazy and deal with finals. It was exciting at the time; I have no college debt. But looking back it killed my resume. Not having a job as an employee into your 20's can cripple your job prospects in many areas.

I don't really regret it. I won't be one of these people going into their 30's with college debt to pay off. But having to run an eBay business for all my college years did make me miss out on a bunch. When most people where worried about finals before xmas I was trying to slam out packages and get enough time to just study a little so I could maybe get a B in the class.

I will say that, you take the good with the bad. I think everyone on here understands this isn't easy. Like when I use to explain to people I make a living selling more or less on eBay. Ohh sounds easy etc. It was like yea, I am stressed out all the time. I always have bills to pay. I never know when my next dollar is going to come in etc. It isn't for everyone.

I am a full time online seller, I dont sell on Amazon but I do sell on Craigslist locally. I just bought my first rental property not to long ago. Online sales have been my full time job for over 1 year now and I love it.

The thing to not getting bored at home is by going out. I volunteer at the local library helping kids with their homework 3 times a week/2 hours per day. Or at my son's school since he is mildly autistic. I help the school out whenever possible. Or just take a walk around the city, just get out of the house.

Doing my own thing online has been much less stressful. But you are correct, suddenly being at home all the time can take a toll psychologically, even if you are making good money doing it.

So, I made it a point to do things outside the home as well. I became a member of the local chamber of commerce. I took a couple of computer related classes at my local community college (I wanted to learn more about Adobe products like Illustrator). Made arrangements to go out with friends for dinner. Am a volunteer at the local animal rescue. Little things like that.

I am MUCH happier now. But I know that not everyone can make the transition.

Edited to add:

It also affects those that live with you. But that is another matter.

I work a job that involves me being on the road a lot and yes even though I do it part time, I am so busy it does have a big pressure on who lives with you

I used to try and get out as much as i could, but its the interaction with people that i think i was craving. It never crossed my mind to volunteer somewhere, but if i try ebay full time in the future i will deffo look into that.

I volunteer at the nearest library, I am so lucky it's just around the corner and I am there. I usually walk if I dont need to go somewhere else, 1 block, maybe 1500 feet. Best part, its the biggest library in the city.
