He gets over 200 feedback points a day and i guess he makes around 50c - $1 on an item he sells so thats not bad going really is it.

He has been there since 2000 and has had a 6 year head start over the likes of me, I joined eBay in Jan 2005 and began selling in around late 2005, early 2006.

But hats of to him, wish I could be making that much $$$, also his products look cheap and the sort of items you could pick up from charity shops etc... at very very low costs.

Yeh what he sells is aload of MOD EDIT - Please watch the language... not many people would list them items to make that much per item... but obvioslly hes keeping costs down and volumes high to generate a good profit.

What he is selling is more of a 'niche' item and must be popular if hes getting 200+ feedback a day. Adam I don't think its fair to comment like that on what he is selling as hes doing a hell of a lot better than most if not all on eBay and these forums. I wouldn't mind being in his shoes.

I wouldn't like the amount of packaging they must have to do per day - writing addresses etc.

So in the past month he's had approx 29000 feedback is it physically possible for one individual to carry out all the tasks alon?, I very much doubt it if he does work on his own he is one sad sad individual as he can't be doing much more with his life.

I suggest you not actually make a judgement on his character, none of us know him personally.

I doubt it as well. I'm sure he has employees to handle all the packaging and shipping. Good for him! Its nice to see someone really making a go of it on Ebay.

Well said - I think some of the negative comments are just jealously.
