The very word "eBay" envokes feelings of trust and familiarity with online users. This internet auction giant has been advertised and seen by everyone not living in a cave. It is simply an enormous selling and buying extravaganza!
eBay is only the biggest name of many auction sites on the Net today. Auction sites have created a legitimate opportunity for people wanting to stay home and earn a good living. There are tons of eBay gurus with products showing people how to outsell, outbid, and outdo all the competition.
You may be a collector, or have a hobby that could be quite profitable. This is a very enjoyable income stream for those who simply want to work online.
There is always the option of obtaining wholesale merchandise and reselling it for a profit.

Saving time and money are some of the major benefits for eBayers. The internet is the biggest "shopping mall" in the world. It is so much easier to simply order items online, without the hassle of going out to a store.

Currently there are over 135 Million registered users at eBay and this number continues to grows larger each year. They have literally become their very own industry!
eBay update: As of 3/31/08 eBay changed the way E-books are allowed to be sold. E-books and digital products can no longer be listed as auctions, but may only be listed in the "classifieds" section. To my knowledge, a 30 day listing has a $9.95 fee. More info about this change can be found here.
E-book Ban from eBay
This Announcement has put many E-book vendors "out-of business", and there is alot to be said about it in the eBay community forums. Conclusions being drawn is that eBay, as a corporation, is indeed only out for themselves and don't want the "little guy" to have any success. Do some research before deciding for yourself.
