Ebay

Ebay - surely you've heard of it.....the largest auction site on the internet. Its a really great place to start getting your feet wet if you're new to the world wide web. Try buying a couple of items, and then selling a few; it really lets you see how simple the concept is. If you want to know more about Ebay then check out our pages at:

Do however read the cautionary sections, i.e. number one rule is to know your buyer/seller - check their star rating and then preferably make all your transactions through Paypal. Yep, I know there's a small fee involved, but it really makes the whole process so much safer and easier. Plus you can go back at Paypal and check all your payments/receipts for the last year with instant access to any transaction details you might need.

Likewise with Ebay, it is so easy to follow your sales and purchases on your account and keep track of everything. The feedback system creates a "checks and balances" which allows others to better know their seller/buyer.
One caveat - sometimes things don't always go quite as smoothly as you may like - try emailing the buyer/seller involved before leaving bad feedback. Nine times out of ten there's a simple answer, which can be resolved with no problems.

How Lucky....

How Lucky can one be.......No.....life is not a beach, although as I sit here in my home/office looking out at the beach, I realize that there are many things that I can feel fortunate for.
I guess when we click on to the next exciting offer we feel that this time we'll be lucky, maybe we will, though usually its somewhat of a let down in the end. But with each offer we build more experience and slowly but surely the jigsaw puzzle starts coming together.
Getting rich on the internet is not a sure-fire thing, but it sure beats the chances of winning the lottery, and its much more rewarding. Providing good content and leads are beneficial to the internet community and will encourage more users to log on.
Stick in there, we might not make fortunes but we'll have fun, learn lots and maybe even help somebody along the way:-)
