Ebay advice from any experts

[michvin]

I had been thinking about selling some things on ebay. We had a yard sale this past fall and I made over $400! I still have some other things in great condition that I would like to sell but don't want wait until spring for all of it.

Is it difficult to do ebay? I've bought stuff but never sold.

Can I make it into a "job" per se? I am pretty good at getting deals and the stuff I see people sell, like star wars stuff, is amazing.

Is is a pain in the you know what dealing with people and getting your money?

Thanks for any input.

It is a lot of work. As for money a lot depends on what you'll be selling. Some things are seasonal. So, you may make great money for 2-3 months then nothing for 6 months.
I deal in clothing. I have usually 4 months are year that I make top dollar. 4 months I don't really even bother, then the other 4 I make a small amount.
Collectibles and such will be a whole other ball game.
I would begin by reading the ebay thread stuck to the top of this page. Then possibly do a search here on this board and read some of the ebay threads. That will at least give you a base to start w/ for knowledge. Good luck!
