Hi Allen,
I did ebay for about 5 months. I actually made good money. I was making around 800. a month. Bill and I would go to sales and buy and I would put what I thought would sale on Ebay. I thought of doing it again but they have changed it so much. They actually charge to put items on and if they sale they charge again. If items don't sale you are paying them anyway. I was running up to 70 items at a time. Imagine if they didn't sale.
Also I would advise you just to open up a bank account just for ebay and only put so much money in at a time. When I did it a few years back they ripped off a lot of people. My son-in-law said they were made to pay back millions of dollars. Needless to say no one around here that got ripped off got back any.
I had few that would buy and not pay so I delt with that but otherwise I did ok. I made sure what I sold was worth the money. I sold a lot of antique jewelry, pictures, paintings, hankies, men items such as bird callers, antique clothing, clothing that is in style. I was amazed at what sold. What I noticed today though it is so commercial and there are so many on there saleing that the competition is very stiff.
Mommyjen, I swear you sound like me. I also deal in antiques and I also love photography. I took photography classes and can develop pictures. I too got a new digital camera for Christmas and photograpy paper and printer. I just haven't felt like doing anything. I am going to start taking my camera on my walks though. I am surrounded by mountains. I can see Pikes Peak from my kitchen window. It is beautiful around here.
I also like making jewelry. I have everything to do it and every once in awhile I pull all of the makings out and me and the boys make jewelry. They like to make it for friends and girl friends.
I'm glad Allen that you are feeling good enough to do some things also. I went to you website and checked it out. It's very nice.
