Job hunt w/ no success; maybe I'll become an ebay reseller

Can you doordash or uber eats while she is in dance??? You won't get rich but to can make an extra couple hundred a month depending on how often you deliver

Have you thought about teaching online?

I've never made an actual job of it, but I have used it for specific things over the years-- extras like vacations, holiday spending, etc.

Ebay aside, I hope you find something that works for you soon! Best of luck!

What about creating those worksheets through Teachers Pay Teachers?

I'm in a similar situation as you and thinking of starting a new ebay account -- not for reselling stuff, but for selling items I make myself.

I used to buy and sell on eBay from 1998 - 2008. At the time, I did some reselling, and I also made some of my own items to sell.

I hold a degree in textile design and am fairly knowledgeable about vintage textiles and vintage needlework patterns. That's mostly what I sold in those days, although I dabbled in selling lots of different types of items.

I found that, after a few years of building my seller account, I was able to buy stuff on eBay and resell the same stuff again on eBay for a better price, because I specialized in vintage needlework items, and I was usually able to provide better photos and a better / more knowledgeable description than whatever seller I bought the items from had done.

Back then, it was viable; that was eBay's heyday.

But is that still viable now? I don't know, but it'll for sure be massively harder. For starters, as compared against how things were in eBay's heyday, there isn't a lot of vintage stuff available to buy now. There was much more good stuff available then, and I thought it was hard then to find good stuff.

And, there is much less of a market for vintage needlework now than there was then.

I'm sure there are plenty of other types of items that would make a good reselling specialty, but I wouldn't recommend that one.

Also, eBay changed their default search algorithm around 2007 - 2008ish. Before the change, the algorithm was reasonably fair to all sellers. After the change, it appeared to me that the algorithm was favoring some sellers at the expense of most others. At the time, they were still charging listing fees, and I didn't think it was wise to risk all the money I was spending on those listing fees given the circumstances. So at the time, I quit selling with them. I decided that I wasn't going to bother learning their new search algorithm; I thought I'd be further ahead if I worked on figuring out Google's search algorithm.

(Which I did, and at the time it was a smart enough decision, but now Google has lost massive market share.)

Nowadays, it looks like you get some free eBay listings, so it is less of a risk to list with them now than it was then (you still risk your time, though, which is more precious than the listing fees).

And to make matters worse (for me, this doesn't affect you!) eBay shut my seller account down when I was out sailing (they gave me, like, a week's notice to update the password or something like that, but I didn't get the notice because I was in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean when they sent it.)

I had a lot invested in building that account, so that was a huge loss. So if I go back to eBay, I am now starting over at zero. That's super annoying! 

I have seen things like that on there and always wonder if they actually sell.
