Selling Things on Ebay

So far, I've made $126.00 selling things on Ebay. I spent $80.00 buying things to sell on Ebay, about 30 hours and $20.00 in gas driving to/from or shopping in thrift stores for these items, and 30 hours taking pictures of, listing, and obsessively checking their auction status at least four times an hour for the past week.

So, if you do the math, my profit is $26.00, averaging out to about 40 cents an hour since my Ebay career launched last week.

So yes, I am qualified to teach the lesson that follows:

TIPS FOR A FINANCIALLY SECURE FUTURE: SELLING THINGS ON EBAY

1. Before you start, make sure your mother already has a very successful Ebay business so as to avoid doing any real work yourself.

2. Once she has taught you to list your items, assess her inventory and secretely list her items in your store, selling them.

3. Enjoy the fruits of your inaction and buy unnecessary shit with the $126.00 you now have in your bank account, $26.00 of which you did not have last week.
