$22,000 a year?
What a baller, I wouldn't get out of bed for 4 times that amount a year.

Ask someone who has made 280k since 2002 barely trying anything

OK I believe you're the best and the laziest ebayer. Congrats on being that! Tell me what items you sell, and give me the API tool to study more about it. I am really fascinated by what you say about those API tools (I guess there are many and not just a AIO)! Hope you'll respond and give me the access to those tools as much positively. 
Depends on how much capital I would be willing to risk on stock. I made most of it off volume-bought laptops, workstations, and servers I paid almost nothing for. In the first three years mostly laptops which sale extremely fast.
Notice how most of them state that 20k a year is nothing.. Yet let someone post some method here that makes $500.00-$2000.00 a month at best and they are all over it like they are about to patent sliced-bread.. Bunch of fake Gordon Geckos selling bullshit tickets..
Don't make me call your mortgage companies and landlords..

The difference between you and those 500-2k methods is that they really give out method instead of pretending to be a baller.
And dude 2002-2015 is like 13 years, you earned 280k in 13 years are you serious? I would rather flip burger, be a waiter or any dead end job. At least i can get promoted and salary raise lol.
"method"
I did Einstein.. I sold computer hardware where I could make a decent profit. Buy 80 IBM Thinkpads at $65.00 a piece and sale at $100.00 a piece because people love a cheap laptop.. $2800.00 profit..
When I was in high school I did even better(late 90s) but too small scale. 60% profit on a PIII 1Ghz laptop $300.00 profit but no volume cause I was stupid and blew the money instead of sourcing wholesale volume.
I bought from industrial upgrade sales.
I'd rather do that than make <=75% in the same time-frame flipping burgers.. It's not all I did either. I've been making money as an engineer since 2001 and on/off since 1997 among all the side stuff like this.
Again, save the Gordon Gecko bullshit for others. From what I see most of you don't even understand basic statistics and economics let alone calculus and the concept of money-in-time.. You're claiming to be millionaires lurking a forum marketed towards niche grinders..

Uh, you know that each of those $100 sales had $4 final value fee and $3 paypal fee, right? Your theoretical max profit even if you had zero returns or scams (which I doubt on used laptops) would be $2,240, not $2800.
and some of us think that selling on eBay is free

Agreed, every thread with some potential is ruined by the same old schmucks with the same old smart-ass replies.
Let's put it into perspective, $22k a year isn't going to make you rich, but it sounds like the OP hasn't put a lot of effort in, and if you were combining this with full time employment or another good source of income, it's actually not bad at all.
Question to the OP - when you were selling computer hardware, would you buy job lots in bulk and then sell individually? Where did you get the hardware from?

If you don't realize,most of the members here have multiple income streams of $500-2000/day so that's easily over $20k month alone from those.
Says the guy himself who joined the forum to be a part of said "niche grinders".

Lol wut?! Are you serious?
I expect around 1% of the members here have multiple income streams of 500 - 2000/day

Even 1% is serious enough. I myself had a source of $500+ a day while ago and I wouldn't even consider myself a part of the 1%. Been talking and meeting quite a feel people here lately with pretty good passive income.
LOL, I wouldn't even get out of bed for $2000 a day
