**Make Me Rich This Year eBay or Else!!**

viv.

I am thinking of changing my personal ebay account to a business account and buy things from wholesalers to start a ebay business. I have been ebaying for quite some time and have made £300 already this month selling 'junk' from my house. Having been made redundant I feel this would be a good way of making a little t keep the bills being paid but may also give me the job freedom I have always wanted meaning that I can take my daughter to school, bring her home and be a Mum.

I have googled wholesalers but there are loads and I dont want to make a financial mistake and loose money instead of making money. Has anyone got any tips or can point me in the right direction?

I always state in my listings "returns only if item return by trackable postage at buyer's expense and if security marks on item match up".

That seems to put off most scammers, or I ask them to send me a photo of the "broken" item.

The genuine ones don't mind and it's only happened once when I posted out a candle holder which broke in transit.

Oh no I've got someone claiming their item hasn't returned. I've told him to wait another week and then if it hasn't arrived I'll refund him.

I'm quite worried because I've got 17 items that haven't arrived yet and a few of them are from the start of the month which weren't sent recorded but some sold for £12, £15 and £18! I hope they've just not been able to get to a computer yet or something like that. I don't want to have to refund again.

when you say havent arrived,I assume you mean haven't left feedback?
