Default Freelancing on eBay

I thought of trying that out and offer my services on eBay...

Is there a good demand for such services on eBay (UK) ?

maybe look at feedback of sellers, I think if you already have a business it is good to use ebay too. Doubt it is a full income in itself though.
Unlocking phones, repairing stuff, man with a van....etc

Wouldnt know about such on ebay but ive used Freelancer.co.uk - Hire Freelancers & Find Freelance Jobs Online several times as my knowledge of computers could be written on the back of a small stamp.
maybe you could offer your services on there ?

what type of services? freelancing sites are usually admin and they do not pay much, so doubt they would pay much on ebay either.

you talking about admin or other stuff?

Why should the account get limited for that ? There are people who do that.

Freelancing saved me when my EBay life went to ****. Regular work, payment into any bank account, work from anywhere, love it.

Limited because intangible items like phone unlocking in previous threads have meant limited buyer protection which is what they see as 'high risk' to buyers...+ theirs threads somewhere i read about them closing down ebays for this too

I agree with bruce..although I sell on Fiverr i just do stuff i'd never be able to sell on ebay or any other site because of the amount of traffic they have ie: me singing for commercials etc.
TBF Fiverr is crap money apart from when you become a level 1 or 2 seller then you can make upto $8 or $12 or $18 a transaction. When you become top rated you can make upto $45 a transaction...(bit like ebay levels)
Last year I made $3000 on Fiverr just by rapping and doing testimonials..this tear so far i've only made around $200..but hey as a uni guy for me every penny counts

yeah tbh thats the thing, too many people think it's only $4 but once you go up in levels its more and its only 10 positive sales and your level 1, if you just create a few fiverr accounts and age them, then say on a 6 month old account you sell 10 items u'll shoot up in levels very fast. their systems unusual as an aged account seems to increase faster in levels than a new account (even if it it has no use for 6 months) . I hate Fiverr because their system is botted and as soon as it flags your account your accounts disabled, and i've only ever got 1 account back when it's been disabled and that took a huge fight too. Customer service is terrible for Fiverr. But? well they just have the huge amount of traffic for business for freelancing in the area I do that no one else has..which means although right now they're not making me a huge amount of $ it's still money.

ebay is schizo about services. you get stuff being offered eg. unlocking and they let sellers run and run for months and then suddenly take them down, I have bought stuff, paid, got good service and then get email saying the auction got mc'd so I cannot even leave good feedback. Then other services get left alone. I think a business acc with an established real-wolrd business registered gets left alone more. They should have clearer rules.
