The ebay opportunity for wealth creation

Question

Are you selling on ebay expecting that ebay provides you with the greatest return on your investment of time & effort? How well has selling been for you during the last 6 months ?

At this point in time, Ebay offers me equivalent profit, and return on investment with less work and less hassle than other online marketplaces.

That was not always the case, and may not continue to be the case.

I have been selling online a long time, and I have sold to many of my repeat customers on whatever site I have been active on over the years. So the reputation of the site is of lesser importance than for some other sellers.

This is the best way to describe my eBay experience after 2 decades of reasonable sales. 2022 was a horrible year. July was my only decent month with 37 sales. I had more sales that month than I have had in 2023! I've been relying on Marketplace to put food on my table & that is all it has been doing.

Someone always has to drag politics into it - it's an obsession for people obsessed. But as to OP's question, I have become rich beyond my wildest dreams. I now have TWO cars up on blocks.

Unlike the rest of the poster (mostly) I don't mind engaging in conversation on your subject and I don't feel I need to reveal any confidential information.

Sales in the past 6 months have been lousy, all I expect from selling on eBay is to make a modest amount of cash with little effort. The cash part has become more "modest" than I like but on balance the effort which for me is almost entirely limited to packing and shipping orders declines right in line with the sales.

I aim to make $75 - $100 (net) for every hour I spend actually dealing with eBay business (does not include hanging out on this board). My sales are down, the time spent is also down so even though my revenues are lower the time and effort are also lower and I'm still meeting my $75 - $100/hour goal.

Are you an IRS agent? Honestly, I paid all my eBay taxes for 2022.

Did Biden appoint you the collector of ebay sellers personal business information? I think Not!

Have you tried the AI generated descriptions on the site. Not even Shakespeare could write such flowery garbage.

Actually the only thing that can give you the best return is if YOU manage your items by buying "low enough" and selling "high enough" to make the return YOU decide you want.
