Watcheszon International has been selling on eBay for more than 10 years now. I started selling on eBay when I was still working full time to supplement my income. I decided to survey local watch shops. I noted what the retail prices of watches were. I sold them at more competitive prices on eBay. I got my first sale very quickly. This motivated me to go full time on eBay.
