Ebay as an alternative?

Posted: Sep 11, 2015

I just typed a report where the patient significantly reduced her stress by quitting her job and selling stuff on Ebay. I know I read somewhere on here something about this but I don't remember if it said what people sell. I tried selling my own art that I created on Ebay and Etsy and I made about $40 a month for a couple of months and that is before the fees etc. Mostly I made nothing. I sure envy the artists on both of those sites that make decent livings. I added up the past items sold by looking at reviews for the most popular artists and some of them are making somewhere around $80,000 a year. I would settle for $8,000 a year as that is still more than I make doing this. Anybody want to share what kinds of items they sell? I know, probably not for obvious reasons. Chalkboard art seemed to be extremely popular on Etsy quite awhile ago, haven't checked lately but there seems to be mass quantities of that everywhere anymore even replications made into wall hangings in places like Hobby Lobby and Joann now. I wonder if the top artists doing that on Etsy are still making as much now. I wish the lady in the report I typed mentioned what she sold! Probably something other than art. ;
