I would definately never quit my career to sell on eBay. I have worked to hard to just quit. Also, eBay is way to risky and they change things too often. I still cant figure out why they make it so hard to sell. I mean, one day your a powerseller, and the next day your totally wiped out.
On the other hand, I can definitely say I have made some good money selling on ebay. Thanks to a little trial and error and this forum especially. I have plenty of strories I could tell, but many of them are the same stories you read from other members everyday. I have been through it all, limitations, loosing hundreds of dollars, supplier problems, shipping and customs problems, you name it. But like with anything, you live and learn and know what to do different the next time.
When times were good and it wasn't so saturated with sellers, there was a lot of easy money to be made. I remember I was selling on ebay before alot of my friends even knew what eBay was! I think that too many people are getting hip to selling on ebay and ebay is just trying to weed the little guys out. All in all, eBay is a nice hobby for me, and it keeps me busy and making money is always plus. Plus the items I sell I enjoy and I use the products myself.
