I started out selling ball cards on eBay in early 2024, which led to the eventual addition of some of my sneaker collection, as well. I had made several sales and had started adding more items by the end of 2024. My wife had been helping me here and there, but knew nothing of how eBay worked, she didn’t even have a buyer’s account! When 2025 rolled in, she decided she was ready to hop on board with me so we could add more items and make some extra side income, as money was tight and getting tighter what with “inflation” and all. We started 2025 with less than 10 items that weren’t trading cards on our account, but we were excited and hopeful that we would find enough success that we may even be able to cut back at our actual jobs, which has been our main life goal; to eventually have some sort of business of our own so we can be together instead of apart for most days. 3/4 of the way through 2025 and we have over 500 items listed and even an eBay store!
