If you have a desire to be home based, eBay really is the ultimate new-start opportunity.
I know of no other business format where you can put something up for sale to millions of people without having to invest in a shop, advertising or a web site: and sell it and be paid within days.
I know you have to pay to list your item on eBay, but this starts at 20p (25 cents) for up to ten days exposure to those millions of prospective customers.
You can test a product within days, and there are virtually no limits as to what you can sell on eBay. When selling on eBay you can get involved in any area in which you have an interest or expertise.
