Canadian sellers on eBay fall into many categories...
(1) The young generation, early twenties, still going to a University or College. The money they earn is that little bit extra. I know of a book seller who follows the same principle I use to sell on eBay... Not a big seller, but he does very well. I know of a second person who started very simply on eBay and is doing well with the assistance of someone who is older than him
(2). The younger generation that starts something on eBay and then migrates to something very big. I know a seller who started with the selling of stamps and books on eBay. Today he is with a group in Vancouver, that travels worldwide to buy major stamp collections, sometimes worth hundreds of thousands of dollars.... and the stamps are sold
(3) There are families with young children. One member works outside the house, while the other stays at home, with the children, and sells on eBay.
(4) There are seniors, who have retired. They retire and look for something to do... Selling on eBay is an option... and they become quite successful. The idea is to keep busy, and do something to keep the brain and body going. Sometimes you have to do something to make it happen. How about the four seniors that played golf together....every week. One of these four retired from work and he stopped playing golf.... He also retired from golf. He went back a year later and could not keep up with the other three golfers.
Many people who sell on eBay use Canada Post.
Canada Post cares..... but the Union does its thing, and does not recognize... in writing.... their effect on these eBay people. There are other people that sell online, and there are some very large businesses that also use Canada Post. The Union only looks at themselves in a mirror
