Q: so i'm a teenager in desperate need of money.. i mean its not desperate like i absolutely need money, but i would just like to earn a few buck so i can buy some things for myself like a nice dress for a dance.

I'm not really sure how to raise money without getting a job. I can't get a job because i'm already so busy, i wouldn't have the time. Babysitting is out of the question because where i live, there are no kids. and my parent's don't like the idea. i was thinking about selling some things on ebay? (things i don't use anymore like playstation or movies or books) but i have no idea how to sell anything on ebay. can someone please tell me how? or give me other ideas how to raise money? please no soliciting either. thank you!

Ebay requires you to register a credit card with them so you're going to need one. Honestly, Ebay is kind of a pain with all their fees and then you'll have to find time to package and mail your products. I used to sell on Ebay and made a fairly good second income but it really is more work than it's worth. What about one or two garage sales? Maybe Craigslist? You'd probably make more money that way.

Hmm ok :) thanks!

Merry Meet!
I'm a mom of three grown children. I've been married, divorced and now recently remarried. I've had more than my fair share of life's hard knocks and have been knocked down more times than I can count, but still manage to get back up and go at life again. All this gives me tons of experience to draw upon when giving out my advice. I love people and honestly want to help. Please feel free to ask me questions directly if you like and I promise to answer each one of them.

Brightest Blessings to All!!
