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.

So what your reiterating is can someone tell me what product is selling well so I can copy the idea & make money too without picking up the phone and making phone calls, paying a professional for their services (attorney,consultant,CPA,Dropshipper,etc). It's the weekend but some friendly advice would be too perhaps do some research and find out what works for you everyone is different not just on here but everywhere.

I get people not giving their suppliers and niches up, that's wasn't what was asked.

But I don't see why people are so scared to say something like I'm earning 300 a month, or 1000 a month, or 5000 a month, etc.

I'm personally making about £700 profit a month over about 400 sales. I'm quite happy as its only about 5-10 hours work a week (depending on how much time I put into research etc) . Ony one main nich and according to terapeak I'm by far the best seller on ebay and cant grow it much more. So now I need at least another 10 hours a week in research to double it with a 2nd category.

In the mean time I'm trying to branch out with stocking up from car boots but only made the odd £100.

Apparent success on the forum certainly inspired me when I started looking into this ebay idea. Somehow I came across this forum from google searching, and seeing people with dozens of accounts selling hundreds of items a month is what made me realise how easily achievable the possibilities are.

Then again the likes of a high profile recently banned member gave me lots of inspiration. It was a little knockback to realise it was all most likey bs.

Because this question eventually leads to more questions such as, What do you sell?, Where do you get your merchandise? etc....and frankly the question has been asked a ton of times! Are people suppose to be answering the same damn question over and over and over? It get's old.

That, and it's really none of your, or anyone elses, business. And it is outside of the scope of this forum. Ask questions related to stealth, and you'll find all the answers you need.

What you think people buy is true they do but the main stream means allot if competition in the same caragory. Also what you do not think about people buy. They buy everything that's the point. As Jeff said. Be a business man. Set your goals and work to achieve them. The quick money is never a long term option. Slow and steady and build your brand and offerings. Slow and steady will get you in the fame with the big boys and still you ,at wind up shut down for no reason. Start many and spread your sales over many acts slow and steady.

I'm still considered a rookie. Started in January. The only thing from keeping your from making 50k plus in these businesses is the time/risk paradox. Once you invest a lot of time in finding niches and inventory control, the rest is an algo that eBay or Amazon has already done for you. I call it a money printer. You make what YOU put into it. Let's just say middle class is easily obtainable on the platforms and lower wealthy is right there in reach in terms of gross earnings a year with the right work ethic. If you hate wage slaving, let that be the fire that drives you. I know it does me.
