Starting a business on eBay is a natural progression for most people who come to the site. They tend to start as buyers, get hooked, learn to sell and then find out that, by fulfilling their goal of clearing out their house and selling their belongings on eBay, they are suddenly making money as well. eBay PowerSellers Ty and Richelle Tribble (eBay User ID: freebubba) are full-time eBay entrepreneurs from Federal Way, Washington. What began as a part-time homebased business has turned into a thriving company with several employees.
"In 2002, my wife began selling stuff from around our house on eBay," says Ty. "One night, I was looking over her shoulder and said, ‘You sold that item for that much money?’" Later that month, the couple put together a business plan with eBay at the center of their business model.

I think that a natural progression after that is getting your own website and getting repeat customers to come back to you.
I think that sometimes it is hard finding a good hosting company to host your site – I know that I’ve had some problems but I finally found pagebuzz.com
After I built my site, I promoted it with my ebay clients. It’s growing every month!
