You want to put your money where your mouth is?
Let's do this, grab a chronometer or whatever you have to measure time:
Weigh, measure, count, whatever you do to get something ready for a listing.
Take pictures, it takes time to upload them, then download them to Ebay.
Then, you create a listing, you have to "think" about what to say, or not to say. Unless you have a one type of description, you will spend time on describing and the disclaimers about the unique item.
Then, store it, inventory it, etc.
Stop the time. Write it down, you are not done yet.
You get to sell it, and you do, you get the sound of the register in your phone.
Start the watch now, you have to wrap it, box it, tape it, and label it.
How much are you making if that item or lot is sold?
Now, grab your watch again, and start counting the minutes from the request to grab 6 items from that bag of "whatever".
You need to open the bag, hopefully is only 6 of any kind. You need to bag them, then go to your computer and print the label. You tape the label to the bag or the bubble wrap envelope. Stop the watch? Not yet! You need to walk out of your house or room and place it in a bin for the mail carrier to pick it up.
Driving to drop the packages at the post office? How many miles? How long?
Are you in line and waiting for the scan? Oh boy! How long?
It doesn't take 7 seconds.
Amen!
