Making money online in the past require you to have your own website and some marketing savvy. Today, there is eBay!

Every day hundreds of millions of people shop on eBay. In fact, eBay has recently announced that it currently has 84 million active users worldwide. An eBay business is easy to start and does not take a lot of money to get up and running. You can immediately start by selling (almost) ANYTHING!
eBay is visible in MANY countries. In addition to its original U.S. website, it has established localized websites in many other countries, including the following:
