I'm not even close and figure I'll never get there since I'm now venturing to other free and lower cost sites, but how many people have done it or will achieve it this year? Congrats if you have and mind telling us what the heck you're selling??? That's a milestone worth more than any goofy eBay colored star!

If Yahoo had remained free I figure it would have been achievable on that site as well. Heck you could list everything in your house for FREE and if you ran out of things there, you could throw in all your neighbors stuff too!

We won't talk about achieving a million in eBay profits. That might be an oxymoron!

I'm half way there...

I've evolved, as eBay has evolved and have sold everthing from kid's software to high end watches. Our main product has always been sunglasses, so if you do a search under this product, you'll be able to find us.

Geez, no way! Not even close.

But wow. I wonder how many sellers out there actually have.

My guess is that there are a suprising number of companies with sales of $1 million plus cummulatively. many most likley do it annually.

I believe eBay backed, returnbuy, is anticipated to do $10 million alone this year exclusively via the eBay website.

If you can sell a modest $2,800.00 a day, you'll reach your million dollar mark in less than a year!

Gives you hope, doesn't it?

2800 dollars sales a day?
if a dealer sells electronic goods and computers,that should not be a problem,but is it profitable??
outside that,it is hard to achieve,may be fine arts and antqiues,but with a recession,how many fine arts and antiques does one need??
then there is the category of mundane staples people need-grocery,household items etc but then why would any one buy online and pay shipping when they can buy in their local stores?
may be packaging supplies??
let me know if anyone can come up with new category!

After almost 3 years on ebaY I am over half way there.But I could never do it in a year with what I sell.

Though I would like to do that.

I do that in three years ... in my brick and mortar.

Now, if only I could keep it all ... I could take one heck of a buying trip
