Are you a Part/Full-Time eBay seller?

[Hawk]

I'm a part-time seller, mainly doing this to pay down my 80k student loan >_>.

Are any of you guys full-time sellers? It seems very stressful selling on eBay, especially with stealth accounts. Kudos to you full-time sellers!

[ladyjane]

I'm a seller part time aswell and yes it can be stressful at times it still pans out well and I've learned so much on here reading and asking questions to my fellow members that have guided me through some real pickles at times and I'm still learning we all are here to help one another

This has been asked before and yes, we have a lot of full timers here including myself.

Just dabble in it - part-time

[KDavis]

Part Time. I'm a student the other part of the time. I don't have any loans because I'm a scholarship kid, but I plan on going to law school after undergrad and I know I need loans for that!

Unless you get into a t14 law school avoid it. I'm currently busting my a$$ to transfer to one and the 100k job prospects outside the t14 are rare.

I used to be a full time. Then eBay shut me down,
so I had to find other places to sell. In a way, as
much as I was devastated about losing a good 4 years
account, it did good to me in so many ways, even though
I am still struggling because building stealth takes time.
I think after recovering from all this mess I will have to
actually thank ebay for helping me expand in different ways,
including creating my own website soon (thanks to SFB),
selling on amazon, find a local bazaar which goes pretty good so far,
and targeting new products I could sell on etsy, and of course
spreading sales through stealth.
I am an atheist, but maybe some things in life happen for a reason.

Full time for now, just saving up nearly every penny I make online and hope sometime soon I figure out what I want to do long term with my life ;_;

Political science and possibly minoring in economics. How about you?

Why do you say that? I've worked with plenty of lawyers (internships) and none of them are from t14s. I think its best to go straight from undergrad rather than transfer because the acceptance percentages are so much lower.

I've wanted to become a lawyer since the 3rd grade,but I chose the engineering route. After doing my research, I found out how hard it is to establish a successful practice or obtaining a career at a law firm. Maybe that's just in my state, almost every university here offers it. I got my BS in Petro Engineering, couldn't be happier! Lol well.... maybe if I didn't have 80k in student loans.. >_>..

Just started it took from jan 2013 to October and gradually I went from full time to part time to spare tire than just couldn't do both and was comfortable enough to cut the safety net and become a full time stealther, but I work round the clock 15 hour days , so i been at 40 hours for a lot longer than October with eBay just nervous to go solo but now all is well I'm also on other sites and projects, and amazon has started being extremely profitable I have just my original account all at 100% and just need more time to focus but the little time I had has yielded nice profit for the year and very fast sales with little to no customer interaction which is a huge relief from eBay where u need to hold hands from beginning to end to after. Also was able to charge average $10 more per item, so I think my new year resolution is to add ghost

[xxbossman111]

im full time an made a little over $77,000 Last year an its only gotta get better Thanks to ebay Steath

[Dmshark25]

Yea I love stealth profited 46k in the last 3 months alone, best job I ever had ; )

[Veritasubique]

Getting Banned from eBay was the best thing that ever happened to us. We were selling nicely on several linked eBay accounts. Got a couple of bad DSRs due to products being lost through Parcel Monkey and their cohorts Hermes, which resulted in a ban in October

Bought the eBay Stealth Book - studied it - set up stealth accounts that are taking time to build. In the meantime set up on Amazon in November and WOW what a difference to eBay

Amazon has got it right and has already surpassed what we ever achieved on eBay. Now going FBA and international - could not be happier. Thank you eBay!!! No more nervous mornings wondering if we still have a viable eBay business - eBay is no more than a game for us now - our real business is on Amazon

We have also been listing on eBid - over 100 products listed since November, products that all sold well on eBay - not a single nibble on eBid - lots of watchers and views but not a single sale. Thankfully we took the life time free listing option so no costs. eBid tend to overstate their buyer base, it seems to be non-existent compared to Amazon and eBay.

As to the eBay Stealth Book - great product - lots of relevant info and one in the eye for eBay - We highly recommend the book.

Take care all.....

I'm a part timer..I did only 45k in sales last year which was some good extra money but I wouldn't mind becoming full time one day and be able to make 40k-50k a month like some of you guys..still trying yo figure out how some of you sell that many items a month with no help
