I know this is off topic but i am interested to hear some responses. How much time each week do you spend listing cards on the flea bay, and in return how much money do you pull in each week. I think we have some card shop users so if you could not how much time the whole shop spends just you personally.

I don't sell on eBay or own a shop, so, I can't be of much help, sorry.

It seems impossible. I list cards and they sell occasionally, but most of the time the cards I list just sit there for months and I keep relisting as an auction so that I don't have to pay listing fees.

Good luck with the kid!
Sounds pretty hard but pretty good, jacoby! Like jblaze said, good luck with the kid!
