Thank you for the warm welcome guys. Yes, about the diversity, there is one issue: the loss of focus. So it's a balance to find between the number of niches attacked in the same time without loosing focus. Sometimes I tried to do too much in the same time and I missed a lot. But it's better to...

Your main concern now is where to find items to sell. You need to find your niche and some providers from which you can get product at good price then sell them on eBay. Not easy because many factories and wholesalers are directly selling on eBay to the end user.

Hello guys, I would like to introduce myself. I used to make a living from the internet. I was working 20 hours a day, 7 days a week with very variable luck and result. I could make 5000 Euros a week, then lose 5000 the week after. I touched almost everything: eBay, dropshipping, domain...

Look bro, don't even think about it. Even with fake whois, it's easy to find the true owner. They can go to the hosting company or see who paid... etc. You would look really bad if this is exposed in a court of law.

The URL itself no. Even tld org have limited value. So org.uk is not attractive. But if you have traffic going to that domain, people may buy it from you for the traffic.

What I did a couple of years ago was the following: - Buy items from the high street (like on sales) - Sell them on eBay On 10 items, I would make money with 7 and lose money on 3 (selling for loss because the auction does go well). But it doesn't worth the hassle. It takes hours of...

Agreed. That's why I am no longer involved in eBay. I used to be very active there, but now I have 0 auctions there. As you said, it's very difficult to find dropshippers because even factories and producers are going direct to eBay to sell their items to the end user. There is less and less...

You are not going to compile PHP on a micro-instance. These instances are not meant for production. They are not enough to provide you the processing power you need. Most, if not all, business applications are designed with RedHat in mind. Ubuntu is for desktops.

dude, go for a dedicated. Checkout OVH for example. Their smaller dedicated are around 10 euros/month. Cheaper than your typical VPS. Then, no one would care how many emails you send per day. As long as there are no complaints, you can send as many as you wish.

Hi, EC2 you can read it as = Virtual Server. You can fire an EC2 with Linux, Windows or whatsoever. For the hosting, I would fire an EC2 with RedHat and at least 2 Gb or RAM. Then, add an "elastic IP". This just their term for a static IP. Otherwise, you wont be able to host. Then, go ahead...

All VPS providers (I use to be one), don't like people who send emails. It causes a lot of issues: complaints, server termination, IP blacklists... Whatever the price, I don't think anyone would let you mass email forever. Try to go with another provider. Most of them don't block any port...

Yeah, that the problem with the Chinese. They are spamming eBay like no tomorrow. I used to buy some products from them then sell them on eBay (sometimes even before reception) for a nice mark-up. In my good days (2004), I managed to sell some products x8 times their purchase price. Then...

PM if serious and legit business. No skype as I don't do talking. But I have an eBay account with good standing and 100% rating.

If you are just selling a few hundreds Euros a month of items, just use you normal Paypal. The taxman thinks in terms of ROI (return on investment). He is not going to spend 300 hours investigating on you to find 1800 Euros made during the last 12 months. They spend time on "big fishes" when...

Hey Thank you for that! I tried the DS a few years ago and, to be honest with you, most of them were too expensive to make real money. Based in Europe, my idea was to make business in the US market without having to ship overseas. However, whatever item I found, I searched for it on eBay and...
