I drive a taxi usually one week a month, to take a break from eBay.

Yes I've been thinking about something part time just to take me away from Internet hustling from time to time. I'm not too keen on a bar job that takes me out till 4am and in London there's about 10 taxis for every possible fare so that's out. Any suggestions?

Stick to eBay and widen your selling market. It is the best way of making money, I know at times things can get hard and you want to give up but just remember what doesn't kill us will make us stronger

Dude , has a very good point. I am in this to win it . If I want to do something different, I 'll do some volunteer work.

Some of my best rewarding and most memorable jobs were strictly volunteer stuff.

And things were pretty hard for a while on the net, but I am sticking with it.

No, it didn't kill me ! So, I guess I am strong as Titanium, or just a freak for pain.

I'm a professional hop scotch player, lighter repair man, juggler (you can make tons of money juggling ), super hero (this is more of a night job) and I travel to a different country once a month to rob banks.

Oh, and I almost forgot I'm studying to become a film writer and director. I guess you can say writing is kind of a job.

On a serious note, you can always go get a job as a....dun dun dun TELEMARKETER! They have the easiest job in the world and it's nearly impossible not to get hired.

"You sell things on eBay ! You're hired!"

Than you sit around all day talking to strangers on a phone, drinking coffee, playing with your neighbors, it's fun and easy but, at the same time you feel like absolute **** if the product/service your selling is a scam.

I do this sometimes when I get bored, get a telemarketing sales job with a paid training program. If what they are selling is a rip-off, I sail along for about 3-5 weeks with essentially free pay and bull**** with people on the phone, never make any sales or even try to, than take off with the companies money like they do to all the poor people they scam. If the company is actually legitimate and what they are selling works or provides something of substance, I'll sell them like hotcakes and take off after a couple months once I get bored. it's win-win.

(Oh this is my 100th post hurrah!)

I have a regular full time job. I wish I could quit and do the Ebay thing full time but with the economy the way it is I don't want to give up a good paying job with full benifits.

I get unemployed money and work on eBay! I'm getting so weak from sitting at home really doing nothing. I can't even mow the yards any more with out taking brakes every 10mins. The yard is so small. I stay in a cookie cutter home. Where all the homes in the neighborhood looks the same. 30mins the yard should be done. I'm under 30 and feel like a old man. I need a job that's out going or I will become a vegetable.

i work fulltime, ebay doesn't pay my bills. it just allows most of my paycheck to go into savings.. and believe me, i make less than 20k a year doing what i do. but i am on the internet most of the time at work, so i can do ebay there too. Would i do ebay full time if i could? Yeah i would, i used to when i was younger and sports cards were selling, before it all died near 2001.. or so. I have no idea how others do it here, but w/o Replica stuff, i wouldn't do ebay now, how can anyone make money with all that competition unless you put out 10-20k in wholesale purchases?
