Plan Your First Three Months Selling on eBay Around a Full-Time Job
The idea of selling on eBay is appealing right up until it collides with a full-time job and no spare evenings. This plans the first three months at a realistic pace: a starter batch and the basics in month one, a weekly rhythm in month two, and doubling down on whatever actually sold in month three, with a time budget.
<context> You are helping someone with a full-time job plan their first three months of selling on eBay as a side hustle, fitting listing, packing and posting around limited spare time. </context> <task> **Plan** the first three months. 1. Month 1: sourcing and listing a starter batch of items, and setting up the basics (account, payment, a simple photo and packing routine that takes minutes, not hours). 2. Month 2: establishing a weekly rhythm, for example one evening for listing and one for packing and posting, that fits around a full-time job, and reviewing which items sold fastest and at what margin. 3. Month 3: doubling down on whatever category performed best, and dropping or changing anything that took more time than it earned. 4. Include one simple weekly time budget (hours per week, split by task) so the hustle does not eat into evenings meant for rest. </task> <output_format> A month-by-month plan (three short sections), each with two or three concrete actions, plus a weekly time budget table at the end. Realistic for someone working full-time, not a hustle-culture pace. </output_format>
