What do you do for a living?

lsams48 · #1 04-21-2008

I'm new to the forum and i think its great how we can all come together and help each other sell more on ebay. But i would like to know many of you make ebay(working online) your full time job, what did you do before ebay, and what you what to accomplish as far as a "internet career"

For me ebay is one of my full time "hustles" But i'm still a full time student working on my cisco certs and a BA in business administration i also have other online vertures, but for the most part i'm a internet geek that likes to make money online(ebay, craigslist, adsense etc) and plan on being a internet entrepreneur. And owning my own company!

I am the proud owner of a baked goods route. I pick-up baked goods from mfg. and actually go out & merchandise in stores: supermarkets, delis, bagel stores, etc. Sounds corny but cookies & goodies make people smile...always say I sell "love & smiles". Really love what I do. On a p/t basis I try to make ends-meet w/EB. And...in my spare time, not that it is "my job", I am a member of local Humane Society...feline rescue & foster.

I plot the demise of paypal.

Oh, and I breed dogs. This is what
'aspkin' and 'gita' will look like when they grow up.:D

I was gonna be a farmer.....because I got a way to make a million outta it, but I cant make the 50k seed money.

So, Im goin' into College...probably Computer Science.

Btw, any Civil Engineers here?

...chief, when they legalize growing ganja, that will be more profitable than selling on ebay and using paypal.

MasterChief · #9 04-21-2008

I smell a skeptic :D

Wha? What did I do to you?

aspkin, these furry babies are worth US$3000.00 at least. If they get their
championships they will be worth more. I named my best boy for you. There was
no disrespect . Geez, I paid US$4000 to import their Mamma. These are really
extra special babies so one merited to be called aspkin.

They are beautiful dogs. I am a mom to two boy and girl and I help to run the local dog shelter. I hope to go back to school to be a vet.

i've been a full time ebay sucker for about 7 years now. right now i am a tattoo apprentice. hope to be tattooing full time by the summer.

TotallyDisgusted, that's awesome about the humane society. i would do that too if i had more time. my wife is going to school to be a vet-tech. she's bringing home a new addition to our family friday. a beagle she has been working with at school. that's in addition to our cats, a beagle and a new dachshund puppy we just got last month. it's a full house.

jscan · #16 04-22-2008

I am a retail manager, also i have certificate II & III in security and work casually in security for major events, while also doing business on ebay and importing other items for people. a bit of everything.

Yes, I love the volunteer work w/the felines but you definitely can't have much of a social life

Now, w/kitten season in full-gear, getting very busy. Have 3 little 4-wk. old bottle-babies rescued from a fire...doing well & too cute for words. In the last year alone, I think I'm up to 80-something fosters that have been in & out of this crazy house

Good luck w/your new addition & God-Bless your wife for trying to make a difference!! I don't want to tell you the resident # here...it is truly an Oprah show

GreenBean · #18 04-22-2008

Your home sounds like mine. The dogs, the birds, the goats, the cow, the chickens. But I keep very strict control on breeding! LOL.

I foster lost waifs as well (animals for the most part sometimes a human).

ebayaintstupid · #19 04-22-2008

I am a mass murderer. I just kill people. My hero is Dexter.

Just kidding, but I do like Dexter.

twdell · #20 04-23-2008

TotallyDisgusted, i know what you mean. sometimes i'm afraid my neighbors are going to turn us in for being dog and cat hoarders. LOL! it's not that bad, but it seems like every year we take in a new homeless kitten. we can never have a christmas tree.

i would love to foster, but i know my wife and i would never actually foster them out. we would grow attached, and keep them all!

Don't want to hi-jack this thread BUT, I know what you mean about keeping them all. The "resident" cats here...all 13...yes 13 is not a typo and yes, all inside ONLY, are the fosters that no one wanted. It is sort-of like misfit island over here :D Have one missing tip of tail...one that is well, let's say a bit autistic w/multiple problems, etc. etc. Love them all though.

MasterChief · #22 04-23-2008

We had 23 cats once. Though not all inside.

Tip: Feed them raw meat/chicken/fish. Especially the weak or deranged ones (and definitely the pregnant ones).
Works wonders within a week or so.
