It almost goes without saying that one of the most popular ways to make money online is with eBay;  However there really aren’t that many people who make a lot of money by selling on eBay. While there are several reasons for that, the one which stands out is that most people just don’t know how to become rich using eBay.

In the past I’ve actually made money on eBay but really it was quite by accident that I did! On 2 occasions that I can remember, I bought something on eBay, only to find out when it arrived that it wasn’t what I wanted. The first item was a spray gun because I was painting a car but by the time it arrived I’d finished the job. And the second was a book which upon reading I found I didn’t like.So, I re-submitted the items and put the original starting bid price on them, plus a little bit more to cover the shipping costs I had already paid.

What happened next in both cases was that someone bought the items for more than I had paid for them and so turning me an accidental profit I didn’t expect. Of course that was just a small example of how to use eBay and I probably made about $5 on each of the 2 deals but if I was to repeat that 100 times obviously I would be making some good money.

In my case however, it’s just not practical because I live in a region of Australia where the nearest post office or shipping facility is too far away to warrant the expense of the time and travel. And of course there’s always the risk that the items bought to sell, either don’t sell or sell for less than I paid for them.

However, in having said that there are people who have been able to make a veritable fortune from eBay simply because they DO know what they are doing. My mentor Alex Jeffreys made very good money on eBay by firstly buying Motor bikes from Japan and selling them in England and then by selling CDs.

Another person who springs to mind is Francis Ochoco who was the first ever eBay Entrepreneur of the year. Francis has become instrumental in creating a series of eBay tutorial videos unbridled in detail in how to become rich from eBay. Below is a little of what he says about the Videos.

WIKTIONARY’S DEFINITION OF WHAT IS A WIDGET?

1.    An unnamed, unspecified, or hypothetical manufactured good or product.
2.    (graphical user interface) A component of a graphical user interface that the user interacts with.
3.    Portable code that can be easily installed and executed by an end user.
4.    A floating widget or other device inside a beer can, meant to create foam when opened
5.    A small scraping tool consisting of a blade and a handle, commonly used to remove paint from glass and other smooth surfaces.

From this baby boomer’s perspective, the above definitions meant absolutely nothing to me in that they define a widget as being not only a tangible item, but something quite intangible as well but it didn’t provide me with an acceptable answer to what is a widget? on a web page.
