If you’ve ever read an article about eBay, you
will have seen the kinds of incomes people make –
it isn’t unusual to hear of people making
thousands of dollars per month on eBay.
Next time you’re on eBay, take a look at how many
PowerSellers there are: you’ll find quite a few.
Now consider that every single one of one of them
must be making at least $1,000 per month, as
that’s eBay’s requirement for becoming a
PowerSeller. Silver PowerSellers make at least
$3,000 each month, while Gold PowerSellers make
more than $10,000, and the Platinum level is
$25,000. The top ranking is Titanium PowerSeller,
and to qualify you must make at least $150,000 in
sales every month!
The fact that these people exist gives you come
idea of the income possibilities here. Most of
them never set out to even set up a business on
eBay – they simply started selling a few things,
and then kept going. There are plenty of people
whose full-time job is selling things on eBay, and
some of them have been doing it for years now. Can
you imagine that? Once they’ve bought the stock,
everything else is pretty much pure profit for
these people – they don’t need to pay for any
business premises, staff, or anything else. There
are multi-million pound businesses making less in
actual profit than eBay PowerSellers do.
Even if you don’t want to quit your job and really
go for it, you can still use eBay to make a
significant second income. You can pack up orders
during the week and take them down to the post
office for delivery each Saturday. There are few
other things you could be doing with your spare
time that have anywhere near that kind of earning
potential.
What’s more, eBay doesn’t care who you are, where
you live, or what you look like: some PowerSellers
are very old, or very young. Some live out in the
middle of nowhere where selling on eBay is one of
the few alternatives to farming or being very
poor. eBay tears down the barriers to earning that
the real world constantly puts up. There’s no job
interview and no commuting involved – if you can
post things, you can do it.
Put it this way: if you know where to get
something reasonably cheaply that you could sell,
then you can sell it on eBay – and since you can
always get discounts for bulk at wholesale, that’s
not exactly difficult. Buy a job lot of something
in-demand cheaply, sell it on eBay, and you’re
making money already, with no set-up costs.
If you want to dip your toe in the water before
you commit to actually buying anything, then you
can just sell things that you’ve got lying around
in the house. Search through that cupboard of
stuff you never use, and you’ll probably find
you’ve got a few hundred dollars’ worth of stuff
lying around in there! This is the power of eBay:
there is always someone who wants what you’re
selling, whatever it might be, and since they’ve
come looking for you, you don’t even need to do
anything to get them to buy it.
So you want to get started on eBay? Well, that’s
great! There are only a few little things you need
to learn to get started.
