I am not an expert on eBay. I “could” try and fake it if I wanted to. The ability to cut and paste means that I can “borrow” pages of content on eBay, re-word them and claim them to be my own. So what am I doing writing a post about making money on eBay, you ask?

The answer is, I don’t know the in’s and out’s of making money on eBay, but I do know someone who DOES. When you visit a site or blog often enough, you can gauge whether the content you’re reading is the result of personal knowledge and experience or a cut and paste job. More importantly for me, I get to know if the blogger behind those posts is just in it to make more money for themselves by faking sincerity or someone who genuinely wants to help others.

That’s one of the things I like about Jenny How’s eBay Tips Blog. She shares her personal experience and knowledge on being a full-time eBay seller in a simple, easily understood fashion. Jenny’s thoughtful posts made me think again about trying my hand at making money on eBay although I’m probably building castles in the air.

I’ve flirted with the idea of being a heavy-weight eBayer before but it will probably not become a reality (although my weighing scale says I’m already a heavy-weight). My utter lack of time is to blame. With my hands full running my home catering business and my websites plus the duties of being a madly-in-love-with-my-kids-work-at-home Dad, being a big-time eBayer continues to be a dream.

However, if you are a stay at home Mom, retired Dad, your kids have left for college, just lost your job or plain tired of the rat race and you’re wondering what you can do to make a little (and maybe a heck of a lot more than a little) money, I suggest you give Jenny’s Blog a visit.

And if by chance Jenny sparks an interest or lights the entrepreneurial spirit in you and you DO end up making tons of money on eBay, you can buy me a coke (and Big Mac) when you make your first million (or hundred) on eBay.
