Analyzing Your Business

As your eBay business grows, it’s increasingly important for you to analyze your business’s performance. That’s because lots of sales don’t always translate into lots of profits.

Let’s take the example of a businessperson I know who had grown his eBay business to the $2,500/month level. Do the math, and you see that this person was on a pace to generate $30,000 a year in sales. That sounds good, but the seller couldn’t figure out why he couldn’t quit his regular job and rely on his eBay business for full-time employment.
