Today I wanted to share with you one of my sources of income, eBay.  I've been wanting to write an ebook or some kind of manual for some time now, but am waiting until I can consistently list at least 150 items a month.  I have two other part time jobs so I only spend a few hours a week selling on eBay, probably less than 5, and I consistently earn over $150/week.  If I spent more time, I could make a lot more money, but with my studying for my actuarial exams and having free time and having two other jobs, I just don't have enough time.

I LOVE shopping!  And if you don't love shopping, eBay selling is definitely not for you.  Let me give you a look into some of the items I have found and flipped this month from Goodwill.

J Brand Starless Jeans

Sold: $29.99 + $6.35 Shipping

31 Keep It Caddy

Rerock Jeans

Profit: $19.74

Miss Me Jeans

Paid: $5.94

Sold: $52.99 + $6.35 Shipping

These are just a few items that I've sold this month, I normally try to get at least $20 profit from each item, but sometimes I can't get that much,  I have my own Excel sheet to determine my profit and I highly suggest you have on as well.  Here is what my Excel sheet looks like:

Also, our first craft fair went very well!  We sold about 6 liquor bottle lamps and got the word out to a lot of people!  We are going to be at the Farmers Market in Ocean Pines this Saturday for those of you around the area.
