After paying off my initial cost to start my ebay business, what percentage should I save to reinvest? I am startiing my ebay business just to supplement income. I have some debt from buying items to sell -- after plenty of research I know I have items that will sell.

What I don't want to happen is to pay off debt and then spend all I make, and then have nothing left to keep selling. Also, legally would I have to declare myself an actual business -- in Colorado -- or can I make up to a certain amount w/o having to do this? Thanks for any and all help!

I saw some simple software a while ago, but it did not include a section for sales tax. How would I keep tract of that? Also, is it possible to keep tract of the books using an Excel spreadsheet? If so, how? I don't expect a lot of sales in the beginning. Thanks!
Can you still make money with an Ebay business? I'm a former Ebayer who sold for about a year on the site, which I loved doing. However, even though my sales were decent (around $5,000/month in home electronics), my actual profits were extremely thin or non-existent because of the fierce competition (this was about 2 years ago). I'm starting law school next summer, and I want to set up a viable business that will help me avoid a job in my first year of classes. Is it still possible to make legitimate, consistent profits with an Ebay business, or has competition pretty much done away with that? *** I only want to hear from people with Ebay experience, who can directly answer my question. I don't mean to be a jerk, but I don't want anybody promoting online or home-based businesses on my question. If you do, I'll report you.
