I have been SO busy! I am starting to like my corporate job, but not quite as much as I love eBay. Working for someone else sure is a heck of a lot easier than being your own boss, but being your own boss is way more fun! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2015 has been the best year of my life! I moved into my first single family home with the love of my life, landed my first big girl job, and have successfully owned my own business! I love starting a new year and making goals to accomplish. In 2016, I hope to become a master of tax deductions, keeping detailed and neat records. I want to list every single item, a few hundred, in my "to-do" pile (which is actually my attic!) I also am thinking about pursuing my Masters! I want to go scuba diving and travel more, run my first 5k, and significantly downsize my wardrobe.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I cannot wait to update you guys in early January on my total profit from 2015! I also plan on giving you a tour of our eBay room. But in the meantime, here are some of my recent flips:</div>

My second favorite month is here!! <i>(My most favorite is December of course!) </i>It's definitely going to be a busy month for me! I start my new job as a Logistics Analyst Oct 19th and Steven and I are preparing for our move down to Richmond! I love moving and change and interior design and decorating! I cannot wait to find our new place. We want to have three bedrooms so we can have more space and keep one room as our "eBay room." Steven plans to eBay full time down there which is great because there are so so many thrift stores in the area. I plan on still doing eBay on the side, thrifting after work and weekends. My goal is to list about 25 items a week.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div>
Anyways, about September, let's talk about my $3000+ profit!! All together I sold 153 items and made a profit of $3,136.41. I was bummed when a $150 coat was being returned, but I relisted it today and it sold within minutes. Here is what my profit breakdown looks like:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My profit is on the rise! Last month I made almost exactly (a few cents off) $1000 less than this month. And in July, I was only just over $1000 total profit. At this rate, I'll be a millionaire in no time ;P</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are a few of the items I have sold in September:</div>

I also wanted to mention one of Steven's sales that had my jaw to the floor. He picked up a Ralph Lauren coat at goodwill for $15. We both thought the coat would bring in around $100. After he did some research, he realized he stood to make a lot more so he priced the coat at $700 obo. Offers started rolling in immediately and he accepted an offer of $600 within a week.</div>

Now that I've talked about September sales, I want to talk about October. I know it's only been one day, well not even one day, but I've already made about $188! I'll try to keep you as updated as I can during the move.</div>

I love eBay! I love thrifting! And I love making money! The first week of September I made over $600!</div>

I'm really going to try to keep the sales up by keeping my items listed. I have a terrible habit of stockpiling hundreds of clothing items and listing them way after I bought them. It's going to be a difficult transition, but I need to start listing things right after I buy them and not choose the "money-makers" over the $10 profit items. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Steven and I went on our weekly Wednesday thrifting road trip to Delaware. I got so many bags full of clothing for less than $200. I even scored a vintage Fendi dress and a pair of heels that retail for over $1000 (I'll post about these later). I also found 5 pairs of Lucky Brand jeans, Eileen Fisher, and Lululemon. I found a lot more "bread and butter" $15 profit items. I'm thinking about making my next post a thrift haul.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
On a side note. I really really really cannot wait to move into a new house. With Steven and I both doing eBay in our small 2 bedroom townhouse, the clothes are really taking over. We will finally be able to have a designated eBay room, which we will even be able to write off come tax time!</div>

As you have probably noted, most of my items I get around $20 for. Some go for a hundred, but most twenty. I rely on these items for my profits. My average profit in September has been $19.65 which is up from my previous $17. I follow a lot of people on social media who will only buy things that will profit them at least $40, but in the area I live in, this is not possible. I live in a very rural area where most of the population probably has no idea about Tory Burch or Badgley Mischka. I hope when I get to Richmond (which is much more fashion forward, I mean c'mon they have a Lululemon store!) I can start buying less and making more.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Hopefully I'll get back to you with a thrift haul in the near future! Thank you for following along with me!</div>

So many amazing things happened in August! I made over $2000 profit and only worked for probably 80 hours in August. On top of that, I landed my first "big girl" job. My new job has an amazing salary and I am still planning on making at least $1000 a month on eBay. I think it becomes really easy to make $1000 once you have so many things listed, right now I'm hovering under 300 items listed. Each day, I sell 6 or so things, so I really only need to list about 30 things a week to stay at my 300 items which will only take me maybe two hours. This way I will consistently be making about $1000 a month, I could easily make more by putting in maybe 5 hours a week. Honestly, when selling 6 items a day, I am probably making closer to $2000 each month. And of course, I could never give up thrifting, and I'd rather buy for a profit than buy for me.</div>

Also guys! I made over $500 dollars in September already, and I've only listed about 20 new items (however, I did shop, a lot!) I've sold a total of 30 items so far in Sept. My goal is to get at least 150 items listed this week. I'm moving to the Richmond area within a month and really want to have everything listed and stored properly before I go.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Happy Labor Day! 30 more listings until I can relax!</div>

Yesterday was one of the best days I've had in a while, I made a profit of $180! Things have been hectic and I've neglected blogging lately but just wanted to give you guys a quick update.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last week, I spent the whole week in Richmond with Steven where we went to one or two new thrift stores a day, we never hit the same one twice! Oh, and they have a goodwill outlet - <i>win!</i> I literally stuffed my car full of my bags, when I got home I listed 43 items (not even half of what I got) in one day! My most listings in one day, yet! The abundance of thrift stores in and near Richmond has got me starting to plan a move there, I am absolutely in love with the city and the river and the thrifting!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So, the week I got home I listed probably close to 100 items and made a profit of about $700. I need to keep listing at least 10 items a day, but aim to shoot for about 20 items a day. Here are a few things from my Richmond trip that I flipped in just a couple days after listing:</div>

Hey guys! So for those of you who don't personally know me, I had some struggles in the beginning of July and had to take a little (actually a lot) of personal time off from work. I barely listed anything at all, like under ten items, for the first three weeks of July. This month so far I have made about $1,150, with over $430 coming in from this past week. I have no doubt that I could've passed the $2,000 mark if I hadn't taken three weeks of recovery time. But oh well, in the words of Forrest, "it happens."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This right here is the biggest perk of being my own boss. I have had plenty of time to myself, to hang out with my friends. My schedule can work around either going to the beach or going out at night. I love that I can set my own hours, I wasn't myself the beginning of this month and I honestly could not imagine dragging myself to work. But, I'm back to being my happy, thrift-aholic self now!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
AND GUYS! Guess what I have finally found after years of searching?! A brand new dress form! This dress form (in the perfect size, too - medium) was new in the box with a $199 price sticker on it, it had a goodwill price of $35 and I got a 25% discount, making the dress form only $28! I am still thrilled about this purchase. It has made listing tops so much easier! I used to like to stick with jeans because they were easier to stage on a flat surface, but now I just <i>love </i>taking pictures of tops and dresses!</div>

My favorite month is almost over! I have made some great changes to my business and I am so proud of myself! I have mastered the perfect organization for me (just need to get more shelving). And I have been listing more than ever! My only setback this month has been my car (it hasn't been working for a week or two now). Luckily my family has been giving me rides to the thrift shop.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As far as my organization, as soon as I list an item I give it a number and stick it in a padded flat rate envelope. Then I organize the envelopes into groups of 20 and put them in an Ikea bag on my shelving unit. Organization is really key when running your own business. I find that whenever I do become even the slightest bit unorganized (which happens more than I'd like to admit) I get panicky and frantic and so overwhelmed I won't list anything until I tidy up again. Prior to my new organization, I would keep everything on my shelves and would have to look through almost a hundred items before I found the one I was looking for. Now, in the mornings before I go to the post office, I know right where to look for my item, put the packing slip in the package, close it up, and slap a label on it, easy peasy!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So far this month, I've sold 117 items! I believe that is a personal record for me! I have made over $3000 in sales and about $2000 in profit. My goal is to list 200 things in July, I already have 134 items listed, so this will bring me to about 330 items. (This is where my math degree comes in handy haha!) My average profit is about $17 and my sell-through rate is about 50%, so if I meet my goal I should make about $2800 in July. If I continue that way, in August I will be making over $3000!</div>

When I first started selling on eBay, I literally had no tools besides a camera to help me along. Since then, I have found quite a few things that have really helped my sales and made things easy-peasy! First of all, for better pictures and higher sales I strongly advise you to get a white background (I use 2 white posterboards from the Dollar Tree, which are only 2/$1) and some sort of light set-up. My boyfriend made my light set up with some castor wheels and some wood that someone had given us, so it was virtually free. The pictures may be the most important part of the listing.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
These are what I would get if I didn't have such a handy boyfriend - you can get them for about $50 on amazon.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I can not believe that I have been eBaying so long without power banks! These things have literally saved my life! I used to have to cut my shopping time short because I didn't have enough battery to look up everything. I have three power banks and probably have enough battery to look up the whole entire thrift store now! </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have three of these life-savers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The last thing I suggest you have for eBay is sticky labels. These are <i>so much</i> faster than cutting and taping labels on! It doesn't really seem like these would make that big of a difference, but trust me, they do!</div>

You can order these on amazon, also.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The lights are a bit of a splurge, but if you are considering becoming a seller I definitely recommend getting yourself a power bank or two, some self-adhesive printing labels, and a clean white background. Thanks for stopping by, I'll be making a post with some recent flips soon!</div>

June! I love June! It's sunny and hot and my birthday month. It's also turning out to be a great eBay month so far! I was doing extremely well the first week of June and pretty good - but not as good this week. I am averaging about $70 a day and spending around 25 hours a week. I'm pushing to get to that 40 hours a week, but I've started devoting a lot more time to trying to reach followers on my blog and instagram. I bought 47 things today and will hopefully profit over $1,000. It will take me two days to list everything and I will be ready for another thrifting road trip on Wednesday! </div>

I'm too excited about my sales today! It has been one of my best days. I had $254.92 in sales, which gave me a profit of a nickel over $180! This has probably been my most profitable day yet. June is really looking like my month to shine. In the first two days of June, I've made about $275. </div>

Hey guys! As often as I can, I am going to try to give you my daily sales update. So far today (I still have hope for more sales, it's only 10pm!) I have had $131.95 in sales. Not bad at all! From this, I profited about $94.51. Here was one of my best flips of the day:</div>

These jeans were a quick flip for me! They were listed for only one day. AG jeans are really a hit or miss, some of them don't sell at all. It is important to always be up to date on current trends when you are an eBay seller. Not only are these jeans super soft and amazing quality, they are very trendy right now. Dark wash skinny jeans and distressed boyfriend jeans are some of my best sellers. If I find more common brands like Gap, American Eagle, and Levi's in these styles I will most likely buy those to resell. I spend hours of my day scrolling through blogs and instagram, searching for new labels and keeping up with current trends. I don't consider this time spent on "fashion stalking" to be working because I would be doing it even if I wasn't a seller, I love it!</div>

Happy Sunday ya'll! I normally "sleep in" until around 9 am on Sundays, but today I woke up at 7 and decided to scout some yard sales with Steven. We started off in Ocean Pines, where there are community yard sales every weekend, but we didn't see a single sign, so we darted over to the flea market in Salisbury. I was very surprised to see just as many vendors on a Sunday as there are on a Saturday. I was able to score a pair of Miss Me jeans for $5, 2 pairs of Levi's for $1 each and one pair of Levi's with the tags still attached for only $2. I figure just these 4 yard sale finds will bring in over $100 for me. Not bad for doing something I love! Yard sales are awesome! And they are not just for Saturdays! Soaking up sunshine, shopping, and making money all at the same time, how could you not love yard sale-ing?!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After yard sale-ing, we went and caught some clams! So much fun and free food, too! We were able to fill a 5 gallon bucket to the top with clams, should make for some good clam strips tonight. After clamming, I was pretty tired, but still set on going to goodwill. Yesterday there was a 50% off sale at goodwill. While I do love a good sale day, the best day is the day after a sale, when they put out all the new stuff they've been keeping off the floors until the sale ended. I was able to score not one, but <i>two </i>Lilly Pulitzer dresses! I was also able to find some high profit jeans and some items from Anthropologie. I always look for items from Anthropologie when I'm at goodwill, they seem to always bring in decent profits from around $10 to $20. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here are a few of the items (not all) I scored today:</div>

Hey guys! I am finally finished my last college class! Preparing for the semester to end brought my sales down to about $1,500 this month, but now that I'm finally free, my sales should see a boost! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember those KEEN sandals I bought at a yard? Well, I sold them for over $60! I made a profit of over $45 (this is after all the fees and shipping). I'm so glad it's yard sale season!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
These items I would never pay more than yard sale prices for, maybe $1 or $2. I'm actually surprised at how much profit the Hollister jeans brought in. Distressed denim is one of the things you should always keep your eye out for. Isn't it funny how people will pay more for jeans that are all ripped up?</div>

This week, I increased my average profit per item from $15 to about $17, not much, but still something. I'm hoping to bring in at least $200 profit by the end of the month, which means selling about 12 more items. Right now, I have 107 items listed which is way under my goal. I really haven't brought in much this month because I haven't bought much. It goes to show, you get out what you put in. My busy schedule brought my shopping to a bit of a halt, but thankfully it's starting to pick back up again! June comes with no excuses! I no longer have to worry about class and can fully focus on eBay. With this freedom, I plan on taking at least one trip to a goodwill outlet center in June. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've been talking to Steven (the boyfriend) about writing an eBook lately. I'm not much of a writer, but he is amazing with words! There are a lot of tips and secrets that I would be more willing to share in an eBook, including a list of very common brands that always resell. There are about 3 brands of jeans that I find at goodwill<i> every single time</i> and can buy for full price ($7) and make about $15 profit. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
My profit per item isn't very high, this makes me have to shop a lot more than other sellers. My sell-through rate is about 50%. This means if I want to make a $600 profit in a week I would need to list somewhere in the ballpark of 80 items per week, 100 to be safe. For reference, today I broke a personal record and listed 25 items (go me!), and really it didn't take too long, so this is very doable. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Steven and I are also looking into relocating to sunny southern paradise, Florida, sometime in the near future. We are not fans of the winter! One factor in our search is the proximity to a goodwill outlet store, and the beach of course! At these stores, clothing is sold by the pound so the average article of clothing is between $1 and $2, this is a lot less then the $7 average I'm paying. This would allow much higher profit margins on individual items. So, I'd be making more money (and would never have to brave the winter again)! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until next time!</div>

It's finally that time of year, the best time of the year, yard sale season! I love finding items to resell on eBay (and for myself!) because they are normally a lot cheaper than the local thrift stores. Most of the time I can get clothing items for around $1, and today I even scored a like-new pair of KEEN sandals for $1! For those of you who don't know about KEEN footwear, you should definitely keep an eye out for them, a used pair in good condition can easily fetch you $50 on eBay.<br />
<br /></div>

When I am sourcing yard sales I will normally pick up things I wouldn't ever bat an eye at at the goodwill, but because I can get a pair of Hollister jeans for $1, I figure I can make some kind of profit from them, and if not I didn't invest too much.</div>

For those of you who don't know, I just started living off my eBay income this year. I quit both my part time jobs and started focusing more on eBay. I haven't been able to make as much as I wanted because I still had a class to finish. Class is ending in less than a week (yay!), so I no longer have that excuse. It's finally time for me to turn my second bedroom into an eBay room and start working towards my goal of making $1000/week. With all of this income I have been receiving with eBay, I must start tracking my profits better. I am looking into purchasing the Easy Auctions Tracker spreadsheet so I will know exactly how much I make and will be able to track mileage. This spreadsheet extracts everything from eBay and lets you know your profit or loss (but, hopefully not) using all the fees and shipping costs. I currently use an Excel sheet that I made, it seems that each item is off by a little, never more than a dollar, but I would like to be as accurate as possible when tax time comes around. I'm new to being a business owner and am looking forward to getting some tips from the small business center in Salisbury.<br />

One of my better flips this week has been a pair of Birkenstocks. These 60's style hippie shoes are making a huge comeback. New from the Birkenstock website these shoes cost over $100! On eBay you can fetch close to that on some models, depending on how quick of a sale you're looking for.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I bought these recently at a Goodwill in Delaware for $8 and sold them for $49.99 + $12.35!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
It's really important to know about current trends and hot brands. For me, I learn through magazines and social media sites. Another good idea to learn some brands and trends would be going to a fashion forward secondhand store, like Uptown Cheapskate. Just browsing the racks will give you a good idea of what is popular now. The prices are usually pretty similar to what I price my items on eBay, I probably price a little higher on most items (and some, I price way more, like that recent flip of the Kate Spade dress.) It's usually not a good place to source because of the close-to-none profit margin, but it is a great place to gain some brand knowledge! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
EBay seller blogs can also be a good way to catch up on brands. Bloggers often use the term BOLO, meaning "be on the lookout for." These are brands that are usually hot sellers on eBay. Of course, bloggers want to help you out, but we also don't want to give away all of our secrets so there are some brands we keep to ourselves. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
For some people it's easier to learn just by doing. Steven is getting into the eBay scene and isn't too keen on brands, so he started by looking at fabrics. Things that are silk, wool, or cashmere seem to do well. After finding things that are made of quality material he uses the eBay app on his phone to look up the "completed listings" for a similar item from the same brand. He also keeps an eye out for current trends like herringbone and elbow patches.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Getting started with eBay will take lots of education. You will need to know brands, trends, time management, and money management. Money management is probably the toughest one. You have to put in money to make money. When I was starting off, I was definitely "in the hole" financially. I had invested probably $500 in inventory and it took a while for me to recoup my investment. It was definitely well worth it though. Being an eBay seller means I get paid to do my favorite thing, shop! It also gives me the freedom to make my own schedule and I love to see that the time I put in directly influences my earnings. </div>

I'm still here! I have been a little busy with school lately (and let's be honest, enjoying the nice weather!), but I'm still eBaying - just not as much as the last couple months. I have been averaging about $50 profit a day which is slightly under my goal. That being said, I probably have been putting in less then five hours of work a week. My goal is to put in at least 20 hours of work next week and list 100 items. The most I've ever listed in a week was probably about 50 listings, so this is a big goal for me.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

About 75% of my items I only profit around $10-$15. It doesn't seem like much, but those small profits add up fast. And to think, each listing only takes about 15 minutes, at most, to post. That's like $1/minute! I do get the occasional item where I profit over $100. A couple weeks ago I sold the Kate Spade dress from a previous post for $200 and profited a nice $121.01!</div>

This weekend Steven and I went to a couple different thrift stores in VA and Baltimore. I think the highlight was our first ever trip to a Goodwill outlet store. We only had an hour before they closed, so we were a little overwhelmed and didn't get too many things. For those of you unfamiliar with the outlets, the clothes and purses are sold per pound. The clothes/handbags were $1.69/pound, but we happened to go on Monday, and at that store Mondays are half off days, <i>score! </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Next time we go, we are going to allow ourselves a whole day. And just a tip, if you plan on going, you should bring some gloves or at the very least a lot of hand sanitizer. The place is pretty dirty, but definitely worth the digging.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I found two Louis Vuitton bags and a Longchamp bag while we were there, they were under $2 for all of them! The checkered pattern one is almost new and the bigger signature bag is in good shape but the handles need to be re-coated or replaced. I also found my first ever Longchamp bag!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
We had a good little road trip and I found a lot of cute tops for myself and over 20 pairs of jeans to resell. We even received a 40% discount at a Goodwill in Virginia for spending over $100. The thrift stores in Virginia and the Goodwill outlet have been my favorite places to source and shop. The Goodwill around me is pretty mediocre and very overpriced. Hopefully, it won't be long until we go back to the ones we visited this past weekend!</div>

My boyfriend and I spend $1000 on shoes a couple days ago! It sounds like a lot, but we got 44 pairs! And not just any shoes, they were all name brand! We bought multiple pairs of Hunter rain boots, Red Wing work boots, and Timberlands. Each pair was just $15.30 + 7.99 shipping. The online retailer cleared out in one night and I am so thankful that we were able to purchase so many before they were all sold out. The lowest we will resell any of these shoes is $100, but some sell for over $200!</div>
<br />
Here are a few that we got:<br />

Steven and I went thrifting all day yesterday, since school was cancelled, and I found some amazing things! First, I found a pair of Tory Burch sandals for under $18. These sandals are basically brand new!</div>

My next find literally had me jumping up and down with excitement. I found a pair of Christian Louboutins! And these were never worn! They are the Barcelona wedge and I scored them for only $35. Here is a picture of the same color I got:</div>

Okay, the snow is beautiful but it's putting a serious damper on my eBaying! (Being sick doesn't help either.) Goodwill was closed today so I had to find somewhere else to source. I decided to head to Uptown Cheapskate, almost like a Plato's Closet, but nicer, for those not familiar with it. I never have really tried to source from here before because I figure they do the same thing I do, buy low and sell high. My boyfriend and I were both AMAZED at the deals we were able to score there today. I'm still giggling like a little girl about all of my finds.</div>

I also got a couple second hand shorts. I got two super cute boho patterned denim shorts for myself (under $3 each) and an American Eagle denim pair ($3) and True Religion Denim pair ($7 and change) to re-sell. My boyfriend scored some awesome deals to flip on eBay, as well. I think his best find was a pair of brand new 7 for All Mankind colored jeans. These jeans retail for $228 and he paid just $14.36! He might be getting too good at this...looks like I have a little competition now! ;)</div>

The best part of being a business owner is that I can have as many sick days as I want. I've been sick the past couple days and haven't been able to list at all. I really want to reach my goal of listing 60 items this week, so I'll just have to work harder when I get better!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first two days of March were right on point! I made a profit of $128.95, this puts me on track for my weekly goal of about $508. Two of the high profit sales were actually picked out by my boyfriend. Here they are:</div>

My boyfriend does have a pretty good eye! Especially when it comes to active wear. I would've never thought to pick up these REI snowboard pants, but he convinced me to and I'm very glad he did! I was also extremely surprised to see the Abercrombie and Fitch jeans go for $39.99 plus shipping! My boyfriend is getting so good at selecting inventory that he recently set up his own eBay seller account and is selling a few things. I'm very flattered that I could inspire someone else!</div>

Hopefully, I'll be healthy by Saturday so the boy and I can go on our thrifting roadtrip (we try to take one at least once a week). We normally hit a big Salvation Army on these trips and find cart loads of stuff! I'll update you tomorrow on some more sales!</div>

Hey ya'll! So, normally I am a solely a fashion seller on eBay. Most of my clothes come from secondhand stores like Goodwill and Salvation Army. Recently, I've tried a selling in a couple of other categories with great success. I have the advantage of my dad working for a bank, so sometimes he gets "dibs" on cool things in properties that have been foreclosed. My boyfriend and I cleaned out a pawn shop a couple months ago and found lots of high quality, brand new electronics. Some of these aren't worth too much and we will most likely sell at a flea market, but I did make a pretty penny off of one item, in particular.</div>

I'm not really too sure what this is, but I made almost $85 off of it!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I've recently tried to find other sources for inventory because sometimes second hand stores aren't that reliable. I went to one of our warehouse stores- a type of store that advertises "buy outs" and "closeouts" and used a book scanning app to find values of some of the books there (they have thousands!). I purchased about 5 different books, just to "dip my toes in the water". I currently have two of them listed and plan on listing the rest later this week. I have already found luck! Last night a book that I had purchased for $3.99 sold for $16.99. Although this isn't as big as a profit margin as I would like to see, it is one that can have large quantities and be rather consistent. Here's the book that sold last night:</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I think I will definitely continue branching out to new sources and categories to sell on eBay. </div>

February was the first month I was working eBay as my sole source of income. With the encouragement and support from my boyfriend, I quit my two almost minimum wage jobs to pursue my dream of being a full time eBay seller. I have been selling on eBay for a couple years now, just making a little extra spending money. I started putting in about 30 hours a week of sourcing and listing in the beginning of February and opened up my first eBay store in the middle of the month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being an eBay seller has been the best thing to happen to me. It is so liberating to know that I am my own boss and that my effort and determination directly correlate with my earnings. In the month of February I made $1854.15 (pure profit!). This is more than I would've made [unhappily] working my two part time jobs. This job is not for everyone though. I am a die-hard shopper. I could shop from sun up to sun down every single day (I don't, but I definitely could). But if you love shopping, making money, and being your own boss, eBay is totally for you! Here are a couple of my sales from February.</div>

On average, I made about $66 a day in February. If I matched that in March, I would make about $2050. I want to keep improving and eventually hit my goal of $50,000 a year, so each month I am going to try to make a little more money. In March my goal is to make $2,250, that's about $508 dollars a week or $73 a day. </div>
