Kids selling on eBay?

by on March 11, 2003


My daughter’s been bit by the eBay bug again, and is selling some
books.

Anyone else have preteens/teens selling things on eBay?

I’m considering writing a “how to” guide for teens wanting to run their own eBay business.* What do you think? Click on COMMENTS to let me know your thoughts.

*SMALL PRINT: Per the eBay User Agreement, minors can only use eBay in conjunction with their parents. So, when I say “teens” I’m really referring to teens AND their parents.

[Update 10/03/2010] P.S. I never did write that book, but here’s one about becoming an eBay power seller that you might find helpful.

I think it’s a great idea. I’m 14, and I’d really really like to become a member of Ebay, but I’m not allowed to because I’m not old enough yet ):

kids are not allowed to sell or buy on ebay read ebay policy contracts dont hold in court with minors the idea of kids having thier own is not bad just might be hard to do legaly

I am a teen and contantly sell on eBay. I think that a book on how to sell on eBay would be very useful and has a chance of being very popular.

Swapitshop isn’t very good as they don’t have as many things as Ebay. Anyway, i would sign up to E-kids any day.

kate October 17, 2008 at 12:29 pm

i think that having an ebay site that kids can buy from and sell is a fantastic opportunity because that way kids can learn the experience having dealing with business and know how to handle money sensibly. It will also give opportunity for kids who aren’t rich and could by cheaper things with the benefit of this kids site.
