What do you do for a living and is it worthwhile?

donnashuggy — Thu, 12 Feb 2015 06:59:28 GMT

I teach and sell on eBay, the main reason for this is the flexibility and being able to be here for my family.

It's worthwhile, I never could leave my children, I did work for someone else (great job and boss) with the first one as that wasn't too difficult to manage.

Donna, I admire you. Always have. In all honesty, is ebay now easier or harder than it was, say a decade ago ?

I find it easier, it is probably easier for me because I am adaptable, you have to be.

Most people disregard and do not notice the improvements and there have been many.

in the end it was for me but managed to free up an entire room full of books

i lost interest soon after that, a lot of time required, having to suck up to some doey buyers, that threat of scammers because i wanted to do regular postage from home. and the packaging got to be a chore

I had good fun selling then things happened in life and I stopped, think I will start again.

Paypal would nor transfer my account to NZ, so I could not be bothered.

lol, i somehow doubt it is jealously

maybe buying and selling on ebay isn't their idea of making it a business

woe, just too much time needs to be spent in front of the screen, for me anyhow. but if you enjoy it, donna?!...
