<p>Does it count as a job? I think it should/does. Is it worth it to put it in your application?</p>
<p>i think it would count if you have seriously invested time and succeeded in this. I dont think it matters if you just sell a thing or two every few weeks though.</p>
<p>Yes, I think so. Especially if you're going into business.</p>
<p>as long as your over 18!</p>
<p>Thanks for the responses.</p>
<p>I am only 17 right now, I know it is illegal to sell on ebay if you are under 18, but I use my parent's bank account, credit card etc, under their supervision of course. Is it still okay to put it in your application? I don't want them to think I'm doing illegal stuff.</p>
<p>I really don't think it's necessary or appropriate.</p>
<p>How much time do you spend on this, and how much cash do you make?</p>
<p>Say that you manage your parents' eBay account for them.</p>
<p>i don't see how it would be appropriate to mention, considering it's illegal. aside from that, it would depend how much you sold. anyone can earn a few thousand on e-bay selling seemingly worthless stuff (it's amazing how valuable somethings we consider to be trash actually are), but earning say $10k a year for a student is impressive.</p>
<p>It depends on if its "Sold a bunch of my old comics on eBay, using my mom's account,"
or
"Ran a successful eBay sales business with my parents, selling vintage postcards and ephemera."</p>
<p>I am an eBay Powerseller (over $1,000 in monthly sales). I wrote my essay about it. What's your eBay username?</p>
