I am talking PROFITS, not GROSS SALES. And they are just my GUESSES for averages. We have some forum members making more and some making less. It depends on how much time you put into this, how much research, how many accounts you have, what you sell and where you sell. | When making money, it also depends where you live. I knew a person who made pretty good at selling at swap meets, sometimes online, but his expenses were next to nothing compared with me living in medium size city. He lived out in the swamp outside of New Orleans. he mostly lived off the land, his truck was over 40 years old and still going. he was happy in what he did and how he lived, he died last year at the age of 83.
in the end, he was happy and that is what counts the most.

I've made this thread on a few other forums and it was about 20 pages long, with people posting screenshots of their limits/paypal balance/sales etc. It was pretty interesting. Every once in a while someone would share a good supplier. It was just a fun thread with very helpful people. I was hoping for the same results on this forum. What a mistake that was.

Those people are VERY ignorant in doing so and this is based on my experience here on this forum full of professional sellers.
I post one small hint of what I am doing and get 20 PMs asking is they can work for me, what I am selling etc..

Not only does me showing you all of my business operations and finances have absolutely nothing to do with steal/thing, but you come with nothing and expect all of us to just hand you everything. Then you get mad because we aren't as dumb as other people willing to do so. You're more than welcome to go back to those other forums, but you obviously came here for a reason.
I could just go into Photoshop, fabricate a bunch of crazy numbers and products and then post them here. Would this satisfy you? After all, you'd have no clue if I was telling the truth or not, but I suppose you'd be motivated to get off your lazy a$$ and sell something...maybe?

As I said: Either you're making enough to support the lifestyle you desire, or not. What we're making has NOTHING to do with that.
Find your own suppliers. Quit trying to con others into doing YOUR work.
This forum is about how to run eBay and Amazon accounts anonymously. Most people here couldn't care less about measuring their junk compared to yours. We're all here to make money and to keep one step ahead from the powers that seek to remove us from the equation.
If you want your ego stroked and feel-good "you go girl!" encouragement, go to the Warrior forums, I hear they love bragging about how successful they are. LOL

You wouldn't apply for a job without knowing what your pay would be would you?
Just trying to figure out if this could be a possible career path

Just trying to figure out if this could be a possible career path | There are people making 5 dollars a day, and there are people making 7 figures annually.
Which catagory YOU end up in has NOTHING to do with what the members of this forum are selling or how they run their businesses. It's entirely up to how much work YOU PERSONALLY put into your business, what product you sell, what your margins are, how you run your accounts, what postage discounts you take advantage of....etc etc etc...
Quit looking for a free lunch. Multiple members have told you MULTIPLE times that your queries will NOT be answered. If you want someones business secrets, go to another forum and con some idiots. These aren't the droids you're looking for.

^ Please explain how knowing how much people make with their eBay business is a 'hand-out' or a business secret.

So if people don't tell you how much they make....you won't be motivated? You may never be motivated at all! lol.

Aside from that, most people are keenly aware it's considered rude in most parts of America to discuss finances. "A rich man doesn't need to tell you he's rich." The reason you're not making enough money is because you're far to focused on what someone else is doing. Focus on YOU and YOUR BUSINESS and you'll start making the money you desire. Until you do that, you'll always be wishing you were making more.
That's the final piece of advice I'm going to offer you. Good luck.

It's the same concept as looking at a fitness model, and wishing "man, I wish I could look like that." You use that model as motivation, and do work in the gym.
If you are having a lot of success with eBay and are proud of it, why not show others what they COULD achieve if they put in the work. It's nice to see the destination before you start the journey.
