EBAY IS NOT ALONE: Where besides eBay?

I am doing well.  So well in fact that I want to do better. 

Ebay sales are making me enough money to pay a few bills but I am still so far away from quitting my real job that I am getting anxious to accelerate the process.  My thought is this; start selling somewhere other than eBay.

No, I am not going to stop selling on eBay.  It is going well.  But, as Chris says in his guide, this stuff works on Amazon.com and other websites as well.  So the only question is where.

I do not know much about amazon and I know nothing about starting my own website.  Chris’s guide also mentions I can create a free blog at www.tangents.org like I have here but there I will get to keep the adsense profits and can also include affiliate links.  I can include affiliate links here too of course but I do not keep any adsense revenue.  I am going to ask Chris if there is an easy way to add products to that Tangents site as well as then that can serve as my website since it is free.

If you have any suggestions please leave a comment.  I am looking at Amazon.Com, CraigsList.com, Tangents.Org, and a few others.  I have heard Craig’s List is good but I am not sure how it works.  Less than I know about Amazon even.

Wish me luck!!

The Joys and Pains of eBay Selling!

Well, I had planned on writing something much sooner but I just haven’t had much time lately.  Aside from still working full time I am still selling on eBay of course.  And, as things pickup there my time is being fully consumed.

I will say this.  eBay is making it more and more difficult to turn a profit.  Although I still use the methods from DropShipping Sucks to find products really cheap I am getting sick of eBay deciding to keep more and more of my profits.

Sure, I am making a profit which was all I wanted from the start when I was trying using regular drop shippers.  But I have gotten greedy and have gotten used to making decent money.  I still am, but as I plan to expand and grow, my growth seems to be stunted by eBay and their endless need to make millions of more dollars by increasing fees!

The one good thing is that there seems to be less competition on eBay these days.  I think many people have already abandonded them for greener pasture.  Wherever that may be.

I might too take Chris’ advice of starting my own website and not relying on outside companies such as eBay and Amazon.com to staple my business.

What are your thoughts?  Are you guys going to dump eBay?  Have you dumped eBay?  Is there somewhere else besides eBay (and Amazon.com) that you like?

Let me know!  I am really interested.  I am especially interested in hearing from other Drop Shipping Sucks customers like myself and what you are doing outside of eBay.

WISH ME LUCK!
