If you are a responsible individual, you have a bank account. If you are a thrifty individual, you sell on eBay. If you are both, then you are awesome and probably have an eBay account just for your eBay store. But what if aren’t quite there yet? What if you’ve been limping along with PayPal …
Fees are one of the biggest expenses in our eBay reselling business. Who would have thought that one of the main problems of earning money would be moving that money around? Many people use questionable methods to avoid paying fees such as selling off-platform, mismarking payments, paying cash under the table, etc. However, not all …
It’s still surprising to me how many people are stuck selling things only on eBay. Whether you sell things online as a full-time job or as a way to get rid of extra stuff you should know that there are lots of places to sell things. However, it does leave you wondering where else to …

There’s nothing quite like getting a package in the mail. Unless it’s the beautiful Louis Vuitton bag that you bought off Mercari that turns out to be a can of soup because you got scammed by the seller. On the other side, there’s nothing quite like selling a Louis Vuitton bag on eBay and having …
