eBay MoneyMakers: The Sibbersen Family

MoneyMakers

We've written previously about eBay MoneyMakers, a great video series by eBay highlighting families who've turned to selling on eBay as a way to provide for both everyday basics and little "extras", from family vacations to new sports equipment for the kids.

Sibbersens 

The Sibbersen Family

The latest installment features the Sibbersen family: When Wendy and Mark got married three years ago, Wendy had recently moved to Michigan to be with Mark and his kids. The couple made the decision that Wendy would stay home with the children in order to spend time with them and get to know them better. But living on one income required some financial tightening of the belt. In order to bring in some extra cash, the couple used eBay to sell things they had around the house but didn't use. As the money rolled in (they got $400 for Mark's golf club set), they began to buy items for the express purpose of reselling them on eBay.

Nowadays, Wendy considers eBay selling her "part time" job. Her gig has offered the family the opportunity to travel to places like Newport Beach and Memphis, and yet has allowed her the kind of flexibility she needs—namely, to be able to work from home and continue to make her family her priority.
