Six Months to My First eBay Sale

Some people might think six months is an awful long time to make a sale on ebay, but it took a lot of time and effort to find the right product to sell. I just made my first sale on eBay yesterday with a profit of $20 and I look to do the same from now on until I can bring in a continuous stream of income. The entire process was a long one filled with finding a genuine supplier (not a middleman), setting up a business registration with the state, setting up a resale certificate, getting a credit card, setting up a business checking account, setting up a merchant account, and the hardest one of them all: finding that perfect product to sell at a decent margin. Who knew there would be so many steps involved. Late nights staring at the monitor at 3am repeatedly probably wasn’t so good for me, but at least now I don’t have to rely on a JOB for the summer.

As for the spyware removal service, I’m picking up the flyers from Staples today. Hopefully I can get a return on the $20 it cost me to get copies made.
