Monthly income from Ebay business?

GinainTexas · 06-05-08

What is the net monthly income potential from a full-time Ebay business (after Ebay and Paypal fees)? Could it be $1,000, $2,000, $5,000, more??Where would I get lists/information for Drop Shipment Companies?

I have a friend who makes about $6000 a month, but it depends on what you're selling.Find something that's unique and you'll make even more.

Really, the sky is the limit depending on the time and effort you put into it. I probably averaged about $1500.00 a month a couple of years ago but really didn't put in a total effort. It helps to really know all the Drop Shipping Companies inside and out and I really didn't do that. I am doing much better with the website on my profile. Best of luck to you!

$1000/ 4.5 weeks x 7days x 10 hrs = $3.17/hr$2000 or $6.34/hr$4000 or $12.68/hrbut if drop to $500 then $1.67/hrchance are60% for 50035% for 1K4% for 2K1% for 4K.6 x 1.67 + .35 x 3.17 + .04 x 6.34 + .01 x 12.68 = 1 + 1.10 + .25 + .12 = $2.47/hr averageif you digest ebay university or QA jungles, then aboutfew dimes/hour.plus a part of Ebay's policy is hostile to customers and can close business any time for any reason then customers must waste tons of time, so maybe it's worth few pennies.

Selling on Ebay is just like any other entrepreneurial model, it all depends on the amount of knowledge, hard work, and the effectiveness of your marketing strategy. You of course have to have a product that is likely to achieve success on Ebay, and you can usually research this by perusing past auctions in your item's genre. I know people who have had instant success, making as much as $800 in a day, and others that have lost money over and over trying to employ failing marketing techniques. I would suggest you do a little market research on the site itself, and get in with a group of successful Ebay sellers that have already endured the rocky terrain of finding out what works and what doesn't. While there are several offers for Ebay "methods" and "mentoring" out there, most are made solely for the sake of taking your money in exchange for a few template and an auto responder course. Do not shell out a penny for such a service. It is a waste of your time and money. There are a few good groups of Powersellers out there that are willing to band with you to help you avoid pitfalls and employ best standards. I have listed one such group below. They do not promise you anything that they do not deliver, and they are all proven Ebay sellers of real products themselves. It would be well worth your time to check out my best Ebay auction strategies page listed in the sources box below. These are real people who have no problem telling you the reality of how much money they have made online with Ebay and exactly what they had to do (and avoid) in order to be able to do it. You product choice makes a big difference. It takes a whole lot of ebooks to equal one car sale, as you already know. You can make a full time income, but only if you approach it systematically and with due diligence.
