What breed of eBid seller are you?

[bykimbo]

In the strict classical sense I believe there are only three professions, law, medicine and education. Everything else would be a craft or trade.

However, I believe that a more modern interpretation would class anyone that engages in an activity for compensation as a professional as opposed to amateur. Thus the difference between amateur athletes and the professional ones.

I was using it as an adjective not a noun. I doubt if anybody here has put up a brass plate.

Now there's an idea .......... I wonder what they could make for me in the copper studios of Villedieu les poeles??

*note to self..... find a screwdriver and take down the brass plate by the front door*

I've put down that I only sell here . But I'm sure from time to time I might put something elsewhere - Although for quite a while now I haven't.

I wouldn't class myself as a hobby seller as such. Selling isn't my hobby, just a way of getting rid of some of my old junk, and hopefully getting enough money to buy slightly better junk.......(My real hobby is records, and I've got my eye on a couple of tasty little morsels on here.) - But of course, I need to raise enough cash to pay for them

I just thought "hobby" sounded better than "unprofessional" or "amateur"

Hobby seller and sell here mostly. Sell on other side maybe once or twice a year. Wind up spending most of my time on the forums however.

Over at the site that shall not be named I used to sell under our Shop name before we closed it down. Since joining ebid I have listed as an individual seller, because most of what I am selling is stuff collected by me and my family over the last 25 years. I have been out of work since July of last year so have had a fair bit of time to list lots of stuff. The rest of the clan keep bringing me boxes or bags of stuff for me to list, so I will be able to list for months.

P.S. I love the KT

While I think I've made my opinion on the question of Business vs Individual sellers clear on other threads and don't need to elaborate on it here, I find interesting that sellers should consider themselves hobbyists. I myself have always found that when I attempted to combine a hobby with making money I fun part of the hobby soon gives way to the demands of the business side.
