When you attack someone’s livelihood on a fundamental level, they are going to compare what they do with what you do. That’s how arguments work. If you guys are so down on eBay, please don’t shop there. You both sound like nightmare customers. You realize that MOST of the items on eBay AND Amazon AND the vintage…

You have a very loose and *very* wrong idea of what constitutes fraud, lady. You’re a loser because of your gross attitude, not because of how you choose to make a living. ODD? I have to provide customer service support like any retail business, so no. But I guess whatever fits your narrative is what you’re gonna…

Well, I did almost 20 years in regular jobs. What I do now feels like vacation 24/7 but pays fives times as much. I’m a professional treasure hunter. You don’t think that sounds 100 times more satisfying than somewhere with a cubicle and a predictable day, every day, allllll day forever? Surrounded by a veritable sea…

What, owning a very profitable online retail business isn’t a real job? My car didn't pay for itself (I don't think, anyway...) and my utility company doesn't take payment in the form of wishes. I'm ALMOST certain that my student loans aren't being paid in Monopoly money, but I suppose anything is possible.

I did not paint myself any such way, I just demonstrated what it would mean for me if I stopped working. You know, like what happens to everyone who doesn’t have a trust fund if they stop working? Also, 99.9999% of what I resell comes from estate sales, auctions, flea markets, thrift stores, and yard sales. That…

Self employment taxes are very high, so.....

Hey, whatever gets you through your miserable days at your likely soulless time suck of a job, making someone else rich. You do you, boo boo.

I don't understand why you think it's an illegal fraud? I actually pay more taxes than you do. Self employment taxes are a bitch. I'm not up to this level yet, but the couple who taught me the ins and outs of online arbitrage make about what you do after taxes and expenses.

Ahahahaha, no. That's not how it works even a little bit. Quick! Call the police! THERE ARE YARD SALES GOING ON ALL OVER AMERICA LITERALLY RIGHT NOW. Scandalous!

PS I wear the scavenger title with pride!

Make myself a marketable worker, eh? I actually quit my job to do reselling full time, so, nah. Thanks for the tip though, broski. On your next commute or difficult client or time that you have to verbally tongue your boss’s taint for the good of your job, think of me making money in my pajamas while sipping tea and…

It is, actually. You should try it. Also, things are only “worth” what people are willing to pay for them, and they've been paying $150-$200 for items that retail for $15-$40 alllllllll day long.

What, pray tell, do YOU do for a living? Something with a boss and a schedule and a dress code and a commute and asses to kiss? I'm good, thanks.

I had a real job for 16 years, this pays better and is more fun. Also I have total freedom. You don't!

A) the buyer pays shipping b) have you checked sold listings? $30 purses sold for $100-$175 all day long today lol.

Yeah you have to sell within the first couple of hours to get the crazy prices. I'm more than well aware of how the market flow on eBay works but thanks for the heads up I guess...?

Reselling does not somehow mean “only sells Target collabs” I’m really not sure how you made that leap rofl

Reselling is my job, but nowhere did I say that I only resell Target collabs...? I sell anything that will fetch a minimum of three times what I paid for it. As for honest work, that’s literally what all retail businesses do, so yeah it’s honest work lol. I put in full time hours like anyone, but I work for myself,…

Oh Ok, I’ll just stop working and let my family starve and my house get repossessed because you’ve been slightly inconvenienced. Cool.

Reselling is a full time job that makes a very decent living. I don't bitch at you for going to work...?
