I am thinking of starting an eBay store in order to have some cash for college, but are they successful? -

I have already made a good 500 plus dollars on eBay over the years thanks to my knowledge at garage sales and such. I have sold videogames, toys, vintage stuff and even an airsoft gun. I was thinking if i do this good on my own, why not open an eBay store? I am talking about buying in bulk and making profit. I know if i try this it will start with a very small pay (cause i will have to build a good customer base.)But are eBay stores successful? I don t want to invest time and money in something just to have a terrible crash.

It can be very successful. You have to sell products that people want, and you have to be able to buy them cheap enough to make a profit. The hard part is that there s a ton of people trying and prices on ebay are extremely low.
