Internet's first get-out-of-debt community - 128,000 members

I had been through the debt road before and although I am still undergoing debts but thankfully it had been minimized tremendously.

Sometimes, you can't just depend on a source of income unless you are earning a CEO's pay or 10k and above per month

These are a list of things which I did that had earned me extra cash to put that extra to the debts

(1) E-Bay- IF you have items that need selling belief me E-bay is the place. Remember One man's junk is another's treasure. (On a side note, i even seen people selling their souls??) Moving on..

(2) DO you have insurance? You may wish to take from your insurance first to repay heavy debts especially Credit Cards.

(3) Do you have a skill? My Example, I went to learn Home Beer-Brewing course and sold my beers between friends and neighbours. You will be amazed on the power that the word of mouth has. Of course your beers need to be good. (I don't mean to brag but.. Smile

IF you can paint, go house to house and offer domestic services.. I managed to make a bundle from this

(4) Research through the internet and you will find certain get paid to (like this one) google paid to survey

Well these are just a few that I did and thought of sharing.

Good Luck

hey I opened an Ebay store months ago...$14.99 a month cost plus 6 cents for every store listing (if you include a gallery picture)...and I currently have more than 2,000 items listed ....hoping one person's junk etc...

so far it brings me in an additional income of 200-300 per week after what I spend and buy on site (of course)..my husband is glad if I spend more time listing than I am buying... Surprised

Ebay is a really good place to start

I am glad that you managed to make an additional 200 to 300 per week.

I know of a few of my friends who made e-bay their full time career.

In relation, if you research on internet marketing, you might make a bundle of it.

I had no luck though Sad

Hi,

I wrote an earlier reply, not sure where it went

I know of a few people who made E-bay their full time career.

I am glad you were able to make extra 200 to 300 per week. I know how much it helps.

A quick question though, where do you get your listings? wholesale or from E-bay as well?

Hi success..
a lot of my inventory came from purchasing in lots on Ebay and then selling the items I didn't want

I sell mostly vintage items I find a lot of my inventory at yard estate and swap meet sales ..I also recently inherited a garage full of vintage jewelry from my deceased mother-in-law..
I also purchase accessory items wholesale from an importer.. but it is from their close-outs catalog and thus a profit is attainable after listing and paypal and ebay fees ..It's a nice and fun hobby!

You can get a part time job delivering pizza's, loading at UPS and others.

Well, it feels so nice to see that people are getting some extra cash to pay off debts. apart from ebay and delivering pizzas, why not rent a portion of the house? if one has some space to spare, say even a room there are many to take it. look at the amount of students who are moving to another city and the first thing they look for is accommodation. so if you can offer lower charges than the hostels, they are sure to take it up! and if you dont want others coming and staying in your house you can just rent the space for a day time workshop for kids. what's more, if you have a particular talent say, singing or sewing, you can take sunday classes yourselves. you will manage quite a few bucks in this way! and if you can get your family to join you in this, that's great! some one try it out and do let us know! good luck everybody! Very Happy

I tried ebay; I listed jewelry and etc. and only sold a sweater for $4.99 - I'm not sure what I was doing wrong but maybe it was too high end - I listed a used 1 carat diamond ring and a 35 carat ameythest with .5 carat diamond wrapped in 14 K gold. Not even a bid on either?

I've thought of putting together five very nice nearly new sweaters to see if they would sell.

lost some things to consider..

was your shipping too high?

did you have a feedback score of less than 100?

I myself never bid on anything if member has feedback less than this ( Unless I feel it is an incredible deal and am willing to take a chance on their credibility) Then I pay with credit card and can dispute if don't receive merchandise....

I have 100% feedback and I was just rated a 10 - whatever that means. I only charge cost to ship and send US Postal. Maybe I wanted too much for the ring $699 - I paid $2400 for it and it's in excellent shape and it had a beautiful wrap I was selling separately for $399 - I paid $1200 for that - so I just don't know. I've thought of putting them together and start at $999? What do you think?

uhmmm....
don't understand the 10 you say you were rated can you define here?
Thanks guest

Posted: Sun Jan 20, 2008 4:25 am Subject:

also if what you say you were rated as a ten..how many transactions either purchases or sells have you made..only .....
ten transactions?.....

you have absolutely no credibility on Ebay..
no one will trust you with only ten transactions

and you will have to earn it from dealing with people either by selling or buying and then reap the rewards!

aybe I wanted too much for the ring $699 - I paid $2400 for it and it's in excellent shape and it had a beautiful wrap I was selling separately for $399 - I paid $1200 for that - so I just don't know..

I do pretty good on ebay when I use it, I sell usually during the spring and summer months, I don't do it a whole lot but have made a few bucks here and there on it though.
