Costco pays extremely well. That's where I worked where I was younger. Hope you don't mind rodents!

i have a small business you can say on ebay selling game guides, hacks, etc. works extremely well. and the best part is i have outlook 03 set so that once a payment comes through paypal, outlook sends the product on an e-mail attatchment with my message like thank you for buying enjoy, etc out to them. so basically i just check paypal over time and see money grow. i started small at age 13.5 lol. now im 18 and still gives me a budget on the side apart from me working a normal day time job which i am currently looking for.

my mother always tells me its the simple ideas that will make you a rich man.

Well if you are making money in an honest way, I see that as a good thing. Maybe your parents are concerned that you are not getting enough sun.

Well, I don't know your whole situation, but something is working for her, you're 18 and they've bought you a 335i (and paying for insurance for an 18-year old can't be cheap), so i'd believe she knows what she's talking about and i'd do what she asks of you.

Oh, if you've got a good dmv record, valeting is simple, outdoors, and not bad money at this age.

You must've been doing something right to get a 335i selling stuff on ebay. And where did you find suppliers for the products that you sold? I'm looking to start an ebay business. Any info would be greatly appreciated!

hey i know im young but my tip is this. just use the resourses that you have abailable on ebay. i have two ebay accounts. 1 for buying and 1 for selling. i use the buying one to buy products and just sell it for a $1-2 dollars lower and yes it does make alot of difference. you keep doing this, keep adjusting, and your pretty much set. its an extra bonus for you every day .

How does that work? I think i understand what you ment but the way you worded it you would be losing money?

c'mon guys can't give away all my secrets .

just be creative. if someone got a game guide for $13, you buy it for $13 and then you use your other account and sell for $10. your auction would be a buy it now with quanity of 20. you will sell at least 2-3 of these guides a day and it is ALL profit, why? b/c it is a digital item. the buyer pays you and you get all the $13 minus paypal fees and you e-mail them the product. please note this is only for one item. if you have a whole store full of these type of products which can be sent through e-mail its just a money maching.

e books you can say in the terms yes. but you want to sell more expensive digital stuff that can get you profit like dvd hacks, game stuff, etc. be creative. ebay is like an oppurtunity to make more $$.

aren't there people out there that do ebay full time and make millions?
