eBay MoneyMakers Video Series. How Selling on eBay can Impact the Life of a Family - And $25 eBay Gift Code

eBay is coming out with a new video series.  This series will highlight a family's story on how they turned to selling on eBay to make ends meet.  This is an exciting thing, especially in today's economy.  Many people are out of work and need to find ways to make ends meet.  Just because the job isn't there, doesn't mean the bills disappear, right?

Who is this family?  Well, they are the O'Brien's of Westfield, IN. The O'Brien's had recently relocated their lives for a job, which was unexpectedly eliminated soon after they moved.  They had a new baby, and went from two incomes to no income.  They started selling off their household items on eBay, just to fund their day-to-day expenses.  Once they became more proficient as sellers, they turned to clearance and vintage items to bring in additional income.  You can check out his blog at The eBay Entrepreneur.  Tristan is now working again, but, they continue to sell on eBay to help fund extra things, such as a trip to Disney.  Check out their inspiring video below:



I am in the process of losing my job, myself.  I've already turned to eBay to start selling to earn income for the Holidays, and then going forward, I will start putting money in savings to plan ahead in case I don't have a job lined up right away.  In the economy right now, we really cannot take any chances.  We have to protect ourselves and our families.

Have any of you sold on eBay?  What made you decide to start selling if you are?  How has this changed your lives?  I strongly suggest that you start looking in your house for items to sell.  You just may be sitting on a gold mine!
