I've heard stories that eBay PowerSellers are doing very well financially by building their business
What are ways to possibly get started? I don't have an infinite supply of things at my house to sell, however I know I can buy things for a certain price and sell them higher?
Kinda like the saying "Buy low, Sell high"
What would you suggest? What do you know about this success? Thank you everyone for your help.

The complete ebay power seller criteria:
To qualify, members must:
* Uphold the eBay community values, including honesty, timeliness and mutual respect
* Average a minimum of $1000 in sales per month, for three consecutive months on eBay.com, Half.com, eBay Express, or eBay Motors
* Achieve an overall Feedback rating of 100, of which 98% or more is positive
* Have been an active member for 90 days
* Have an account in good financial standing
* Comply with all eBay listing and marketplace policies
* Achieve a minimum of 4 average monthly listings for the past 3 months
PowerSeller program eligibility is reviewed every month. To remain PowerSellers, members must:
* Uphold eBay community values, including honesty, timeliness, and mutual respect
* Maintain the minimum average monthly sales amount for your PowerSeller level on eBay.com, Half.com, eBay Express or eBay Motors
* Maintain a 98% positive total feedback rating
* Maintain an account in good financial standing
* Comply with all eBay listing and marketplace policies
* Maintain a minimum of 4 average monthly listings for the past 3 months
As far as getting the selling volume needed, you should try to find a manufacturer or distributor of products about which you have some knowledge. Make sure the margins will be high enough to make it worth your while and you will need some money to get products initially.

Powerseller is a ranking you recieve when you maintain a certain $$ selling level for 3 months.
Aiming for the powerseller status is not the way to go. Most Powersellers have a terrible reputation on Ebay.
What you want is to ultimately make money. Aim for that. If you know of a product which you can sell and make money, do it. There's no time like the present. (Don't quit the day job until you're sure it's going to support you!)

I started selling on eBay 2 years ago and I went along to a one day ebay selling training course (they are advertised on eBay and generally run by Powersellers)They are very inexpensive courses & they show you how to go about setting everything up and give you great advice.Well worth it!
