I have been selling on eBay since 1998.
It's hard to make a full-time income on eBay however eBay is still the best place anyone can make easy part-time money.
In this video, I go over the three reasons why I think that is still true.
The first reason is there are so many YouTube content creators focusing on making videos about the best ways to make money on eBay.
