I don't own my own online shop, but I do sell things on Ebay. My husband came up with the idea this past January that we should sell stuff on Ebay to help pay for the trip we want to take to Puerto Rico this coming January. Little did I know how much we would actually make from it!!! We started selling things in January, and to date, we've made a little more than $1,000!! I definitely recommend doing this to make extra cash, or for vacations. I think it's something I'll keep doing.

I used to sell on Ebay, mostly things I didn't want any more or things I had won in competitions I used to enter, I was quite successful, but the trouble with Ebay is, it takes ages to list each item, then you lose money through paying fees to Ebay and Paypal as well as tax, then having to parcel it all up and take it to the post office which isn't near me, in the end it got more of an aggravation and I wasn't making much money so for me it was a waste of time but I did enjoy it at first but I hardly made much money.

No I do not own an online shop but I do list some items on a classified list online. This helps me get rid of things that I do no longer need and earn something for it. Sometimes I buy books from Ebay and re sell them to my friends.
