A couple of things...

I saw drop shipping mentioned in this thread. For some people, it works. But for others...not so well.

Sarah, liken it to building up your entire business on a free host. Your dad may well do his job perfectly, but if the drop shipper...drops the ball...it's your dad's business that is effected. Ebay now has a star rating system implemented (dsr's), and as a seller, you simply cannot afford to have low dsr's or low feedback.

Anyone can read the Seller Central discussion board. Have him start reading that every day. He may not understand some of the discussions that go on, but he'll get the gist of some of the things he needs to consider. That said, don't let the doom-and-gloom-the-sky-is-falling posters unnerve him. It's still a legitimate way to earn some cash, but it truly is much more like a business than days gone by.

Finally...congrats on your upcoming wedding! I've seen you mention it in a couple of places, and have been meaning to send you my best wishes. I truly hope you have many years filled with love and laughter!
