    MY margins are pretty big on stuff I sell. I can sell you an ebook detailing all my suppliers and sources for just £19.95, free p+p. Handling charge applies though, 2.95. Let me know if you're interested!

    Where can I find this "grabit whole you can"? I feel like doing other people out of a good deal and stiffing the taxman.

    Read grabit thread, go to poundshop, buy trolly load of pound shop junk, list it on ebay at £2, discover everyone else has, reduce back to £1, offload the lot, realise that ebay/paypal fees have cost more than £1, bury head in hands, get real job, give up on making fortune from ebay.

    Thats where research comes in. Research before you buy things to sell it can save a lot of hassle and money to do 10 minutes research before buying anything to sell

    Problem is after 10 minutes research, a new bargain, when you start listing it everyone will list that same bargain at a cheaper price. Easier and more legal to go to the jobcentre :money: to get your money

    Confused about why its not legal? I work full time and am registered as an ebay business so i'm above board. Al I sell is things that I am interested in and know a lot about so I make some extra money that way.What oters do is up to them and there concience
