I've heard of quitting your job to trade stocks, but to trade on EBAY all day ???? cbs.marketwatch.com. "As long as you watch what you're doing, it's great," says Doug Young, a Louisianan who quit his job to sell full-time on EBay (EBAY: news, msgs). He mails 50 to 60 packages in a typical week -- anything from wildlife feeders to old magazine ads. ... For the most part, Young's experience with online auctions has been positive. Not long ago, he sold a woman an item -- he can't remember what it was -- and discovered that she lived 50 miles away. Then they found out that they collected the same stuff and even had houses painted the same color. Eventually they married. "It was unexpected," Young says, chuckling.
