Sixth in a series of how to fund your travels.
eBAY is one of the Internet's early platforms that anyone can set up an account on and begin selling. I’ve been selling on eBay for years and the only issue I have with this platform is handling products which can become a problem if you're on the road a lot.
The seller has to procure goods, take photos of goods they want to sell, list the items, write a description and when a sale is made, pack that item and ship it to the buyer. It’s an easy way to make extra money or even a full time income, but as you can probably tell by now, I’m just not crazy about handling products.
I used to sell a ton of books through eBay, but that required a lot of driving around to used book stores, Goodwill, thrift shops, library sales and the like and rummaging through hundreds of books trying to determine if a book was profitable. Books are also quite heavy and can be costly to ship. I made some good money, but I spent a lot of time in book stores to make that money.
