I had several eBay accounts, as I thought having seperate accounts for different items a good idea, and if I lost one, I wouldn't lose them all. Seemed like that was OK with ebay, from what I had read. Guess I wasn't quite right, even if I wasn't wrong.
I purchased a phone flipping guide slightly before it seems like everyone in the world started doing it, and things were going OK until people started trying to return phones that were clearly marked as PARTS ONLY in the listing.
I had people strong arming me for partial refunds, and returning different phones than the one shipped out, claiming they didn't work when they did, but sold as parts only phones.
I got tired of this real fast, as I was taken advantage of and bullied most of my life up to this point. That's when I decided I wasn't taking **** from anyone anymore heading to county jail @17 3 days before my 18th, fast forward and the subsequent 3 visits to prison since have solidified that into my core now, like a philosopher's stone. So I fought the claims, and all of a sudden I got shut down even though I refunded, appealed, called, argued, didn't matter.
Gave up on the phones, didn't have a choice, as every account I made after that was linked and shut down.
So I fell upon this site today searching something, and kept reading. Now I'm wondering if the
Stealth Book is worth purchasing if I don't have a product to sell already.
I feel like it's a lot of steps, involving money for a
VPN, mobile dongle, multiple modems, etc, and so on. I'm not super tech savvy, but could figure it out if necessary. But I come back to this;
is this worth it to me without a solid product I know will sell?
It's now 2019 and I'm wondering about eBay's ID and SS# measures I see talked about here, and again, no product.
I searched for threads on products to sell, or what people are doing to make money, and there wasn't a lot of answers to that that I could find, so far anyways.
Mostly people not wanting to get into specifics because it's 'proprietary information' or something. I understand the strategy and logic of not telling your secrets, but again no product.
Is it even realistic for someone without a real income stream to try to bother researching products? Where does one start with that search? I've Google it, and there are so many people saying different things, it's easy to drown in that sea.
I feel like there are so many obstacles in my way, (nothing new there) but I've also spent countless years of my life putting energy into the wrong things. I understand how to get business licenses, have several, have an LLC, just haven't ever been able to find something to sell to make a decent profit. Seems like I'm never ahead of the curve, or by the time I realize I could have made a good amount of money off something, everyone is already doing it. How to get ahead of the curve?
I doubt I'll ever be able to be a slave for anyone else, as I was a punching bag slave as a child to a crazy, genius, Serbian step mother. I'm Tired of being a drain on society and a burden to my friends. I want to be able to take care of myself, and the few people I care about, but at the same time I have some serious issues upstairs.
However life doesn't care about my issues, and I fall further behind the pack. I was living in my friend's shed, pissing in a bucket until I managed to get on temporary state housing. This is my breathing room, and I need to make a miricle happen.
I don't enjoy many things, so it's hard for me to be passionate about much. I liked the phone flipping OK, but feel like there is too much competition out there now in that arena now. Not to mention my ebay dilemma.
So in summary, I suppose I want to know:
1. Is it's worth setting up new accounts without a solid product in mind?
2. Where would someone like me start looking for products to sell from trustworthy vendors / wholesalers or whatever?
Keeping in mind I don't have enough money to purchase 10 thousand Keychains, pens, Bluetooth code readers, etc.
I'll take any advice good or bad, strangers won't hurt my feelings. Besides, I've about heard and seen it all.
Thanks for listening, who needs shrink when you have the internet?
