Only ever gamble what you can afford to lose.

Getting into the skilled trades is a GREAT way of making money. A local contractor wanted $2500 to install a tankless water heater, when the unit itself cost $900 on ebay. It usually takes two to three hours to install these units.... 
Even though I could have installed it myself, I had to hire someone due to insurance purposes..................
But in the end, there is a HUGE difference between a job and a career...........you make the choice.

As long as you can come up with an advanced system, have a little creativity and are well organized you can make easy money just about anywhere.

My friend is online now saying how much money he is making trading fx, I hate him lol. He made 50k euros last week, exactly the same time as I got a PP limitation, I was seething!.
Regarding Ebay and Amazon, I really think Amazon is the way to go personally(unless you are selling vero which alot of people here seem to be doing)
Amazon its very low maintenance compared to Ebay, listings can be done in seconds. You could be turning over high volume but only work a couple of hours a day if you play your cards right.
You only have Amazon to worry about unlike with Ebay where you have their evil twin to think about too. Now when you create an Amazon.com account for example, you are entitled to register on .uk, .fr, .de, .jp with exactly the same details, you will find the .com goods are much cheaper than other countries.
Having a pro-merchant allows you to create your own listings, which in turn allows you to make huge profits compared with Ebay.
Also if you are running account from overseas then you dont have to worry about vps, VPN, proxy this that and the other, Amazon don't care too much about where you log in from, as long as its not a banned ip/mac.

I agree Amazon is easier, and less work, as well as bigger profits, can't go wrong with that site. I'm not the gambling type, I know nothing about it, so i can't afford to take those risk, the INTERNET is all I know.

I been playing on amzon for a few month now as a free seller.... its good, quick, easy... only selling a few bits as I am on free package,
I have been thinking for a while now to get the pro account and see if its worth it for me.
I went to do so a couple of weeks ago, but it wanted a credit card... I only have debit......
I just read this thread and my brain started working for once and I do have a credit crd... my new entropy that I made the other day for my pp verification.
Just wanted to say thanks everyone.... I will try amzn pro account next month when I get some money from eb.
I only sell silly 1-5 pound items but it all adds up. I post same day 1st class and buyers from eb and amzn get their bits the next day if from UK... that way I keep things sweet and less likley for complaints.

My plan is to get ebay down to a science, once i start pulling some good figures, about 3k to 5k a month on ebay, i will invest in some higher end domains for development and to possibly flip a few years down the line. Then get into something like Etrade. But for now i need to work on just ebay, to many things at once makes my mind wonder....

If you are going to be a serious seller on Amazon you need pro. Creating new listings is the key to Amazonian riches.
PM me if you want any tips

To above.... thanks for the offer of tips. May ask you sometime.
I didnt know debit card was ok on amzon for pro account. I will open a pro account in 1.5 weeks when I get some money and see how I get on and if it is worth it for me.
I only started on amasn coz eb and pp gave me the boot and I was lost. I found amzon but for the items I sell its not as fast as eb, but it is money coming in so I aint complaininig. Then I found this site and am back on eb.
I still sell on amzn coz its extra money. I will open a amzn pro account because a lot of my items are not listed so I should be able to make new ones with the pro account.
There are a few other sellers on eb that sell the same items as myself, but there are none on amzon so for me there may be a little space to make a few quid. I think there are no sellers on amazon selling my bits because they dont want to pay the monthly fee of a pro account on amzon. I rekon it may be worth paying so I will try soon.
Thanks everyone
