I want to do a survey and also it may give new seller some data points to see where they are now.

I started part time selling old stamps in 2004. In 2012 I quit the paid job and I went full time ebay selling. I now continue selling stamps on envelopes from the 1800s etc. You get as much as you put into it with ebay. I've had 1000 dollar days plenty of times. Old stamps is an awesome niche if you know which ones are fast movers & more valueable. Now days a lot of my buyers are repeat buyers like 80% repeat sales. My buyers are located all over the globe. You have to put a big effort in and treat it as a business if you want to suceed. Just hit 16000 feedback. The best thing is when we had the pandemic nothing changed for me I already worked from home. And people are buying from me daily.

Technically I have been here just over a year. 

Opened officially Sept 1, 2021. 

I consider myself part time.  Although sometimes it does not feel like it. 

in my first full year, gross was a little over 13k.  Actually, I almost broke even.  Overspent on setup.  So far this year, I am in the red.   If things stay the way they are, they will stay there. 

My only goal is that things pay for themselves.  

My two cents

First year seller, been just over 3 months or so, part time as I am just selling cards from private collection at home 

It's been good, but Harder recently, have to put everything as promoted listings now to compete. Sold over 40k so far, over the 90 day period
