Well, we finally made it through 2022. With the current state of the economy, everyone (including myself…) seems to feel a bit unsure. In the past, quitting your job and working for yourself seemed to be everyone’s dream. Now, it seems to be the dream just to pay rent and keep putting food on the …
After people spend a year reselling there are typically shocked by two things: the amount of money they made and the amount they have to pay in taxes to keep the IRS at bay.

If you’ve ever hung out around someone who has had their eBay account suspended you might be ending the impression that eBay is dying or, even more likely, that eBay is already dead. In fact, people have been saying it for years. Somehow, though, the three-headed monster that is eBay still keeps going and sellers …
Selling on eBay has always been a bit of a sticky proposition. You are trusting another party (a multinational company in this case) with your business. You trust them to be honest, show your listings to people and, above all, pay you. In the past, you had to have a PayPal account to use eBay …
Despite selling on eBay for nearly 10 years we’ve always had a habit of avoiding jewelry. We were put off by stories of scams, incorrectly identifying jewelry and the costs of buying it in the first place.
