About eight years ago I made the decision to give up my career as a nurse because I wanted to spend more time with my son. I first started buying on eBay eight years ago. I started selling my unwanted personal items and anything I could get my hands on. I was Shocked to see what my items sold for. I am sure you have heard the comment, 'Someone's trash is someone else's treasure', that is so true on eBay! It all started with those old cds. I always loved having my own income and shopping! Therefore, I knew I had to do something to be able to have my own money. I really started thinking about the profits that I made on eBay with my unwanted items. I was driven by that immediately and was instantly hooked! I knew then what I wanted to do, SELL ON EBAY FULL TIME! To really make this work for me, I needed to sell something that I enjoyed, Clothes, Handbags, Jewelry, and all the other girly items that you could think of. Next goal was to become a power seller within three months. After working long days and nights for three months I reached my goal. I spent many hours and weeks experimenting with new & different things sell more effectively. Three years later here I am. Lots of trial and errors, but I MADE IT! My income now is much greater than my nursing career income. Now I don't work around the clock but still work many hours per week. I give thanks to eBay and my customers! My total feedback rating is over 5300. Any Successful full time eBay seller will tell you, it takes a serious dedication to forge your eBay business. How did I get to the point of teaching eBay classes? My wonderful and supporting husband and son! My husband inspired me as I got the request all the time to teach someone how to sell. He knew that the knowledge and drive that I have gave me the confidence I needed to teach successfully. After my courses and certification I was ready! As soon as I scheduled my first class, it sold out! I was amazed! After my first class I knew I had my new calling, and again I was hooked! I have continued selling on eBay full time as now with both careers and I love them very much. I want to share my knowledge and success with others so they do not have to make as many mistakes as I did. Hopefully I can share some of the confidence that this experience has given me. The great support I get from my son and husband has been a blessing! Like many other Education Specialists, my passion for eBay and teaching has developed into fun freedoms that eBay has afforded many people like us. It has made a significant impact in my life and I enjoy nothing more than spreading the word. My training experience and my enthusiasm for eBay helps enrich all of my classes.
