My mission is to improve your eBay selling experience by providing you with the right information and tips to grow your business or help you sell that one collectible you've found.
I have been a buyer & seller on eBay since March 1999. Over 12 years, which in Internet terms is forever. This site is filled with eBay selling and buying info which I hope will help you improve your online relationship with this massively popular service.
From the first item ever sold on eBay, a broken laser pointer back in 1995, to sales currently worth more than $60 Billion (with a B). eBay started out as uctionWeb - ughh - and back in 1996 eBay had 250,000 items for sale. The following year, the available items for sale grew to 24,000,000.
There are more than 90 million active users on eBay. To give you an idea of sales, a man's necktie is sold every 45 seconds, a pair of shoes every 10 seconds, a cell phone every 6 seconds and a video game every 17 seconds. In other words, there's plenty of opportunity to create a nice income, even a full time income using eBay.
Although there are other selling/auction options on the Internet, none have to power (number of available buyers) that eBay has. Yes, there are some irritants about eBay, but so what. Every place you work has things you don't like, but you learn to work within the rules and the irritants.
