Being Part-time or Full-time with eBay® ?
Working from home full-time and making a decent income is the dream of everyone who starts online business including in online auction business. Being an eBay® Power Sellers and being your own boss is like living the dream. It is the promise of internet and making money online scams, and it is finally come true – at least for some people.
What they do not tell you in the success stories, though, is that becoming a full-time eBay® seller is by no means for everyone. You really ought to try it part-time before you even consider taking it up full-time, and even then, caution is advisable. Before you decide, here is a list of questions you should ask yourself.
- How Much Do I Earn From eBay® Now?
Work out how many hours a week you spend doing eBay®-related things (be honest here), and divide it by the average amount of profit you make in a week. If you were doing full-time hours, would you earn as much as you earn now?
- Do I Have a Good Job?
Think about what you might lose if you give up your job to focus on eBay®. If you are in a high-paid job with good promotion prospects then it is well worth reconsidering: you might get a few years down the line and wish you would stayed in your traditional job, as you would probably be the CEO by now.
- Would I Really Make Much More Money?
Unless you re selling a large quantity of small goods, most of what you do on eBay® will be waiting for auctions to end – and you can wait at work just as easily as you can at home. This is why whether you would make more money on eBay® really depends on what kinds of items you are selling – for low value items, going full-time could be a good move. For high-value ones, the chances are you will hit the limits of how much money you have to invest in inventory long before you hit the limits on your time.
- Is My Home a Good Place to Work?
Quite apart from anything else, you might find that the dream of home working is more of a nightmare in reality. People can start to depend on you to get things done that need to be done during the day. If you have a wife and children then they can resent the fact that you are in the house but refuse to have anything to do with them for large parts of the day. Giving in to any of these things and stopping work for a while will cause your profits to fall.
- Can I Survive If It All Goes Wrong?
In the end, would you be able to get by if you had a month or two where you sold literally nothing? Or would you be desperately looking around for a job and cursing the day you ever discovered eBay®? That is the real test and you have to be prepared for this situation.
If you made it through all these questions, then I guess you are cut out for the eBay® life – and even if you did not, you would be surprised just how far you can get part-time. In my next post, we will show you how income possibilities you can make with eBay®.
