After growing up in Schaumburg, IL. and receiving a Bachelors Degree from Western Illinois University, I got married, became a stay at home mom of 3 and decided to move North to raise our family. I wanted to help with supporting the family, but didn't want to leave my children. We purchased a computer and I came across eBay. I started on eBay like everyone else -not knowing a thing about it.  I jumped right in and began buying. I asked myself how can people be MAKING MONEY when I am buying everything so cheap??  I did some research and loved what I collected. As of Today, 6 years later, I am an Education Specialist trained by eBay, I am an eBay Powerseller, and an eBay Trading Assistant. I love helping others understand how the eBay system can work for them.
