Shanghai -- Ji Yuwen skips work at least once a week, but not because he's slacking off. It's just that he can make more money selling jewelry from home on eBay than he can at the home inspection business he started a year ago.

For the past three years, Ji, 23, has been selling shoes, cell phones and jewelry on eBay EachNet, the Chinese version of the San Jose online auction giant eBay. He makes about $120 a month selling online. Some months, he has made $400 to $500, roughly twice the average monthly salary in Shanghai. link to article

PSUnite:

Great article - it goes to show you that others are also baffled by the system improvements - not just us dummys over here yonder!

I also see that new auction sites entering the Chinese market are aligning with those here - build a base before exploring a fee structure! What a concept - seems to be working and it will here also.

Thanks for sharing!
