eBay Total Halfway Through December

Fifteen days ago, I started working on my modified CD ladder.  As part of my plan, I’m trying to earn $100 a month, each month, from eBay sales.  As of today, I’ve made $76.45 (after fees).  With 16 days to go, it looks like I’ll make my $100 goal for the month of December.

Last year, I wrote an article about how to sell baby clothes on eBay, and I use many of the same tips and techniques when selling other items.

So far, I’ve sold several books, a broken portable DVD player (for parts), and a pair of shoes.  It usually takes five to ten minutes to list an item, and it feels good to make a little extra cash and rid my house of unnecessary clutter.  By the way, when selling books, it’s usually a good idea to ship them using USPS Media Mail.  It’s cheaper than Priority or Parcel Post.

    NCN,

    I wish I did more, but I found an old phone that I couldn’t even turn on! It sold for 35 bucks for 3 mins of work.

    We’ve been selling on ebay for years and it’s been our insurance for our Christmas budget. We’ve never had to dip into our regular budget money and just use any earnings from ebay as “extra” for gifts, etc.

    Good for you for clearing out your house and making a little extra cash at the same time. I’ve been doing this for years, in fact I’ve got an “ebay box” where I toss all the things I’d like to sell. Every couple of months I spend a Sunday afternoon and list it all. In an effort to be a little more frugal and save the ebay fees I used Craigslist for some items, and while I like that I can save that money, I find my items don’t sell as well there as they do on ebay. Could just be the types of items I’m selling, so I think I’ll go back to ebay as well.

    Glad to hear people are still buying there!
