I use E-bay as a means of advertising my website / service.
But I have to admit I find it very complicated & confusing to use! (Probably my own fault for not investing enough time reading the instructions!  )As far as I can tell (which is quite hard) it's been fairly successful. |

Then again, this doesn't work.
eBay has many risks including: - no bids - lowered feedback rating - buyer not sending the money - seller not sending the item - item gets broken, etc. The list can continue a little more. Even though this deals with eBooks, I doubt you can make a profit from this. BEWARE of given site. |

Well for new zealanders we have a company called www.trademe.co.nz you payb trademe to list ur auction etc.
Now, this is an amazing story and it is true! A guy started off with a paper-clip, he sold that paper-clip for a pen roflmao, someone was silly there! Then he sold that pen for 5 pencils. He then sold those 5 pencils for 4 dollars. he then bought a rugged old shirt with those four dollars, it has 18 seconds left in the acuktion and no bids, he sold that shirt for 9 dollars. He then bought a couple of computer speakers and then sold them for 25 dollars! he kept on doing this for a long time, he got his family involved and he did it every night after work. he bought a 3 acre propertie with the money he had made, well his children and parents. Every night they would all sell about 3 things each, and as the years went by they had enough money to retire from their jobs, but keep trading as they were for 1 more year, and then slack off completely. It is amazing what little sacrofices these people do like selling a pen for a paper-clip, and its amazing that people actualy did this. Its quite funny really. |

E-bay warning!
I was shocked that last week someone 'hacked' into my e-bay account & started advertising loads of motorcycles in my name! (How did they know I ride one???) I presume they changed my bank details to theirs, so they would run off with the cash & I would get the blame!  Anyway, somehow E-bay spotted this fraud very quickly & restored my account. Something for people to watch out for though... KK. |

i would have to say, it sounds like a scam to me. i don't know the best way to make money online, but using anything ebay is not going to help.

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to this forum.. Seems like some pretty good info. Here's my plug: Just wanted to let you all know that I've designed a website for the hottest auctions on eBay. You can set up your own categories in the admin and customize the site to fit your niche... I've been doing pretty well with it. The website is here. You can purchase a copy of the script here: It's only $30 I can help you out if you have any trouble with it. Thanks. |
