If you’ve ever pondered the possibility of eBay being a way to increase your income substantially, Amy and Tristen O’Brien of Westfield, Indiana did just that.
The O’Brien family had just relocated for a job that was eliminated soon after the move. With a new baby, the two income family had dropped to no income and needed to
generate cash quickly. The O’Briens turned to eBay to sell household items to fund their day-to-day expenses. Once Tristen’s selling proficiency increased, he turned to clearance and vintage items to resell to make additional income.
Through the eBay MoneyMakers series, the O’Briens chronicle their story on how eBay sales have impacted their lives.
Tristen is now employed and the family continues to sell on eBay to fund their wish list, including a trip to Disney World.
Tristen also uses his experience to help others through his blog, The eBay Entrepreneur. He helps new sellers “become successful…one listing at a time.” As an eBay hobbyist, Tristen’s blog provides me with inspiration and practical tips that I incorporate into every listing.
