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.
