Jake Bush considers himself a casual seller on eBay, but he understands the importance of marketplaces for small businesses selling online. While in college, Jake noticed that a lot of people were getting rid of things in his area that could be easily sold online, and he started flipping the items on eBay to generate supplementary income while in school. He even expanded his selling online afterwards, seeing eBay as a tool to learn how to kickstart a thriving business. Today, Jake has sold over 200 items on the platform, and has a 100% positive feedback rating.

When Kendall first started selling on eBay, she had another full-time job. She initially saw it as a fun hobby, but found herself thinking about it even when she was at work. She realized that reselling was what she wanted to do full time, and decided to start a small business on eBay in 2023 after she married her husband. Now, Kendall makes just as much money, if not more, than she did at her retail job. She started posting her reselling experience and resources for other sellers on TikTok, and now has an active following of others interested in reselling.
