    Anyone here ever make more than $20K a month off EBAY?

    I'm not talking scams and scam products, I'm talking about selling niche products built in one state and selling it to the rest of the country. I'm pleasantly surprised to know that shit I buy in Hawaii or Seattle get snapped up for 5 to 10 times more than my cost by people in Ebay.

    My income from Ebay grew exponentially and then it hit a plateau. I'd like to know if any other adult webmasters use Ebay as a suplemental revenue stream.

    Speak up, Ebayers!

        Understatement of the century.

        It still makes me laugh out loud to find out people still bust their ass on crappy TGP traffic yielding a negative return when they could put the same amount of effort into ebay and drive Porsches after 3 months.

              What's an example of something you bought from in one state and sold for 5-10 times more to the rest of the country?

              If it's large items and you're moving some of them I can see it making money, but if it's small relatively cheap items you're going to have to sells tons of them like in a general retail store to make any notable profit. Am I thinking about this all wrong?

                That's like saying people make money using Yahoo Interests and showing you how to subscribe to the interests on the left and update your shit so your profiles (with your link) always shows at the top and always shows online.

                  Yes.

                  You'd buy a ream of paper for a 400% mark up (and do), but I doubt you'd buy a new workstation at that mark up level.

                  Margins are always lower on big ticket items.

                      Mike33,
                      People who profit the most on ebay are experts on antiques, and such items.

                      Don't expect to make 20k a month selling diet pills or laser pointers

                        You're right. But I guess you'd have to sell a quite a lot of reams of paper to make significant coin. And is there really so many such items that can only be found in one state and not in another?

                        Happy to hear you guys are doing well with Ebay. Hey, whatever works. If you found a way to do it, keep on

                              DUDE, don't give it away!

                              But since the cat's out of the bag.... Think LIGHT WEIGHT guys and think MARGIN vs Novelty value vs. MULTIPLE USES

                                      Wait, this place doesn't even do that. Am I missing something or is gegy.com no more than an affiliate program?

                                      Edit: Man, this place has some vague documentation. I guess I can choose my own markup.

                                                          You'd think if you sold the stuff you'd know how to spell "memorabilia."

I'm pleasantly surprised to know that shit I buy in Hawaii or Seattle get snapped up for 5 to 10 times more than my cost by people in Ebay.

                                                            My income from Ebay grew exponentially and then it hit a plateau. I'd like to know if any other adult webmasters use Ebay as a suplemental revenue stream.

                                                            Speak up, Ebayers!
                                                            Without eBay, I would be living on the street. Or worse, working at a real job.
                                                            I'm not a sig whore.....yet!

                                                              Drop shipping opportunities are some of the biggest B2B scams online.

                                                              WATCH OUT!

                                                              They may say you are getting it at wholesale prices, but in reality you are paying close to retail.

                                                              Most of the time you'll have trouble selling these items online for what you paid for them.

                                                              The real key here is to get as close to the manufacturer as possible. Most of the products you buy from these drop shippers have passed through MULTIPLE hands and thus have had MULTIPLE markup's before reaching you.

For $1000 I will spend a couple hours on ICQ or on the phone explaining to anyone interested how to make $20,000 a month on eBay with minimal investment.

A true 'master' wouldn't have had his/her account suspended in the first place even for 'cock fuck reasons'. The few living that close to the edge that are any good would have new accounts waiting in the sidelines.

                                                                                  Let's face it - it's not rocket science. You simply have to sell something at a lot more than you buy it for. The more $ you make per sale x number of sales = the more money you make.

                                                                                  The only difficult part is in sourcing the product, be it physical goods or not. That simply takes a little hard work and intelligence and possibly a little capital to kick start it.

A true 'master' wouldn't have had his/her account suspended in the first place even for 'cock fuck reasons'. The few living that close to the edge that are any good would have new accounts waiting in the sidelines.
                                                                                                  Oh don't worry, I have my backup accounts and you cannot be a true master unless you were suspended from eBay and have hands on experience with their security system tactics to detect your back up accounts and therefore create more backup accounts that don't get detected. There are only a couple ways for them not to detect them and they to be paranoid is to be safe. Plus I am getting the other accounts back up as soon as their lacking customer service team gets to my fax.
