Spidexa has an interesting business idea on how to approve goods at delivery. http://www.spidexa.com/?locale=en_GB Full disclosure: Our company has been involved as test "checkpoint".

Paypal is my preferred method of making web transactions and I have been very pleased with their services. Using a service like Paypal (and using your head) can ensure that you have a successful eBay experience. I was a power seller for a while and I found my niche to be quite profitable, but I really had to hussle like it was a full time job. Many of the items I sold came from yard sales, estate sales and the like - so I had very high profit margins.

Never give a seller your credit card numbers directly to them, I always go thru Paypal. If a seller doesn't take Paypal, I don't buy from them. If you are a seller, same goes for you. Never take a personal check. Even money orders aren't fool proof anymore. When I sell, I only accept Paypal payments.

Especially since nowadays EBAY prices are comparable to what you can get on the street. I think a lot of people made large amounts of money early but it'd be hard to believe that that many people make good money now. I’m a little skeptical myself.

Some sellers have thousands of transactions a month but after product costs, packaging supplies and ebay's fees; how much do they actually make?
