The statistics of the eBay store are as follows – I have been running the store for only 5 months part time approx 10-20 hours per week and the total sales are $15,000 with the last three months averaging $3,115 per month. Imagine what I could do if I focused even more of my time. The PMI Program has given me great insight into the world of e-commerce from running both a standalone website and an eBay store. Each is very different and requires some unique training and knowledge. The coaches at PMI are extremely knowledgeable and are quick to respond to any request no matter how small it seems to you. They truly are just a phone call away. They are experts in eBay, the psychology behind eBay and how to maximize auction dollars in listing formats. The PMI coaches are also great business entrepreneurs who understand what it takes to make money. My favorite quote from a coach was that “you don’t make money when you sell a product; you make it when you buy a product”. This was profound to me and showed that in a competitive environment like eBay buying at the lowest cost is paramount. The Expert Auction software was great in helping to decide what to sell and pricing and the listing of potential product sources was a tremendous help in getting started with some product. I particularly liked the training being given via the web and that it was recorded for you to view at your leisure which made it much more convenient as I was working a full time job while trying to get this business started. There is truly great potential in this program to run the business as your only source of income. I chose to run it as a supplemental income stream and continue to work; also, I am now rethinking that option. The statistics of the eBay store are as follows – I have been running the store for only 5 months part time approx 10-20 hours per week and the total sales are $15,000 with the last three months averaging $3,115 per month. Imagine what I could do if I focused even more of my time. Thanks for all your help –it’s been an invaluable experience! Janet C.
