I've been on eBay longer than most people have known about it and I have seen a ton of changes. But they haven't really affected what I do or how much I make. My bottom line has just continued to increase over the years. I signed up and started buying in 1997 and began selling full time in 1998. This was before eBay was part of the common language and before most people realized you could make a living on it. 11 years is a long time in the real world, let alone the computer and internet world, so you imagine the changes I've seen on eBay.
But eBay's changes aren't what is important when it comes to being a seller. It's really all about consistency - knowing how to list things properly, where to find things, and what to actually sell.
Finding just the things that have value isn't the key. It is to repeat the process in a manner that maximizes the item for the most profit. There are constantly new changes from eBay from their fee increases to their policy changes, but even so my bottom line has only gone higher and higher. This is because I know how to make my listings get the maximum profits.

Knowing something has value is one thing, but knowing how to get the most profit out of the item is much more important.
This is something I definitely know first hand. Once, there was even a time when profit was a thing of struggle for me. Disasters in the beginning were one after another, and so were miscalculations. Victories, and stunning ones at that, started to also happen. This being my main income source you can bet I had to keep my focus in the game. Working techniques and strategies were something I began to learn, and they worked time and time again. The simplicity of it even made me laugh once I discovered it. But it took time and numerous trials to perfect this system into becoming the foolproof money maker it is now.
Now, I am a lazy guy. I probably should've put that out there first. I don't like to work, and in fact, it's a danger to my health. That was how I got to where I am.
When I was born I was diagnosed with Cystic Fibrosis, a deadly lung disease. The doctors notified my parents that they shouldn't expect me to live past seven years of age-yikes. Working full time was not an option unless frequent and long hospital stays were desired. I couldn't pay the bills since working the hours couldn't be done, and the option of living with Mom for life was definitely not an option. So I panicked.
I began to sell everything in my apartment after my roommate moved out. And I do mean everything. Here was a surprise- things I thought would be worth money were worthless. Then, the things I just about threw into the garbage brought me more many than I imagined. Maybe not something crazy like thousands of dollars, but it added up very nicely. I noticed a pattern after a while with these items and found that they were available everywhere. People were just passing them up constantly. In everyday placesoften even in their own home, directly beneath their noses.
How great is this. It took very little time for me to find these items, purchase them, and list these items while getting a steady and consistent profit from the start.
This is something I have kept as a secret for years. Both family and friends have always been pushing me to say what I do and how exactly I do it. They've always wanted to know how a lazy guy like me is able to make money and treat every day like a Saturday.
Many years have passed and I've been holding my incredible methods all this time. But it turns out that no matter where I visit or even where I go around my home, there is just too much stuff available. There is too much for me to do it alone, even if I wanted to.
[eBay Fun Fact: Everyone knows about the new feedback. Sellers can't leave "negatives" for buyers anymore, only positive...Buyers can leave all 3 types-positive, negative and neutral. But did you know that "neutrals" count as negatives toward seller's feedback?]
I sell online every single day, and no matter the economy, no matter what the trend, I am always profitable without any hassles. I look around from time to time and see other experienced sellers making some of the mistakes I used to and it makes me cringe. They could be making so much more money and without the hassle they put inadvertently create.
Making an extra income on eBay is easy because anyone can do it. You get do to dot on your own time, too, which is the best part. Relax on the sofa, make up whatever hours you want, and earn and income all the while. If you sit back and follow the proven steps you can earn extra money while you sleep.
Ebay is still the easiest, fastest, low risk way to make extra money in spite of all the changes and even the economy. - 16928
