I know many people buy something on ebay,but I really never meet anyone who is earning big money from there.

Yes, I make money, but only small amounts at a time.
My first week I made about $300 but have never been able to achieve that again over the last few months. You've got to know the market and what sells best.
Ebay takes two bites of the cherry also, fees to list your item and then a percentage of your sales amount. So what you win in one hand, can get taken out in another. Big money is out there to be made, but you've got to sell big expensive items to make it or have lots and lots of stock to sell when it comes to small items.

Yes,
I own several companies and let my employees do most of the work... however, I am still employed with a company that was there for me when times were tough.
I have kept this job because I bring in upwards of100k a year in commission from sales through the eBay store I have set up.
I check the store each evening, send the orders to our shipping office at our main warehouse. It takes me 30-40 minutes each evening. It is the sweetest thing! I have about 3 hrs a week tied up in it. If you do the math, I am profiting over $500 an hour!
I would love to tell you where to find my eBay store, but the Yahoo Answers Police would see that as advertising...

Sometimes ebay is good sometimes ebay is bad. I had $50.00 in fees on 3 items that haven't sold. Ebay isn't the only site out there. Some use free classified ads like craiglist or google some of the others. They don't charge fees to list and you can meet the person to complete the transaction.
All hard work brings a profit, but mere talk leads only to
poverty.

I make money but I wouldn't call it big.
It pays for itself and stuff I want to buy with a bit left over for Christmas.
