I'm an eBay seller, but I sell media items (books, CDs, DVDs, etc.) on Half.com. Listing items on eBay is pure torture for me. The photos, the descriptions, the buyer angst over ever-increasing postage costs (hey, don't shoot the messenger!) -- ARGH.
But selling items on Half.com is pure pleasure. Find the item I want to sell at Half.com, click on "Sell this Item," determine the item's condition, set a price (suggested and average prices are given), and [Cue up the sounds of angels singing] I'm listed!!!!!! Most of what I sell can be mailed in a padded envelope, and the rest of the day is mine.
I'm majorly ramping up my Half.com business since reading Marijo Jilek's "Secrets of How I Made $4,000 My First Month Selling on Half.com -- How to Easily Make a Living Selling Books, Audiotapes, VHS, DVDs, and CDs." I've sold stuff on Half.com since 2000, but reading Marijo's ebook has given me so many more ways to make money this way that I'm newly inspired. And the book is a positive steal.

I HIGHLY recommend reading her report, esp. if you need a way to make good, extra money with NO risk. (You pay only when your item sells, unlike eBay -- and your money is deposited directly into your bank account twice a month!!!) Check it out, tell me what you think.

Career of the Day: eBay Retailer
Some days I don't even want to acknowledge this. I know there are people making good money on eBay, but currently that's not me. Listing items is time-consuming, and I don't enjoy it. I love packaging up my sales and sending them out lickety-split with my little note of appreciation, but I loathe listing items.
Finding a reliable dropshipper is something that would probably make my eBay retailing easier, but I'm still working on that, probably because of my misgivings about not personally handling the item I've sold. I've purchased items on eBay myself, things that I threw directly in the trash when they arrived because of the abysmal quality. "Why didn't you return it and get your money back?" Well, because I paid 99 cents for the item and $14.95 for shipping and handling, the latter of which could not be refunded.
This kind of thing is frustrating and disappointing, and sometimes (shock!) eBay sellers are not the most reasonable or concerned with my satisfaction. I never want a customer of mine to feel this way from something they purchased from me. So, while I await a celestial memo informing of the perfect items for me to sell on eBay, there's a group of people roughly the population of Finland out there to assist me with their information products.
