Welcome to Easy Auction Income

Hello and welcome! I’m Steve King, and I’m thrilled to have you here on my website.

Whether you’re just getting started on your eBay journey or are a seasoned seller looking for tips to scale your business, you’ve come to the right place.

I’ve been working online since 2009, but my journey began a few years before that in 2005 when I first started selling on eBay.

Since then, I’ve built and run several eBay shops where I have sold a variety of collectables, including pictures, posters, and postcards, and more recently Vintage Clothing

I’ve seen it all—ups, downs, successes, and challenges—and I like to share what I have learned along the way.

On my website, you’ll find case studies, articles, and sales tips from my own experience as a Top-Rated Seller on eBay.

I run this blog to help people like you build their own eBay businesses, whether it’s selling collectibles or something entirely different,.

I also share other ways you can create additional income streams, like affiliate marketing and blogging.

Over the years, I’ve worked in many areas of the online world—web design, SEO, sales funnels, email marketing, and more.

My passion for e-commerce and my desire to help others succeed is what drives me to continue sharing knowledge on this blog.

I’ve also managed several large email accounts and newsletters and have run multiple affiliate programs…and a whole bunch of other stuff that will just bore you.

A Little Bit About Me

In addition to running my eBay business, I’ve also created several information products and courses aimed at helping others succeed online.

My first coaching course, launched in 2009, helped people learn how to sell digital and printed media on eBay

And since then, I’ve created several other programs that have collectively helped hundreds of people build part-time eBay businesses.

I also have a personal interest in helping people turn their passions into income through info products

When I am not working I can usually be found on a golf course

When I’m not working on eBay or creating courses, I’m probably on a golf course (or thinking about golf).

I’ve been playing off single figures for most of my life, and though I’m still chasing that elusive “breaking par” moment, it’s a journey I’m thoroughly enjoying.

I’ve even built a few golf websites and products to help golfers improve their game, which you can check out at at my golf website called weekend-golfers.com, a project I worked on with a PGA professional coach.

What’s Next?

If you’re new to selling on eBay or just looking to learn more, I encourage you to dive into the resources here and start exploring.

Whether it’s a course, a blog post, or a case study, I’m committed to providing valuable, actionable insights that can help you grow your eBay business.

I’m also constantly working on new content, so be sure to check back regularly for updates.

Thanks for stopping by—I’m excited to help you on your eBay journey!

Cheers,
Steve

Building A Business One Flip At A Time

I am currently building and growing a business, and a creating a job for myself, by buying things from wholesale suppliers, car boot sales, charity shops and online Marketplaces to sell the goods for a profit. This is where I record and share my progress, good and bad!

I share the highs and lows of starting, maintaining and growing an online reselling business.

I started off by selling collectables, mainly Prints, Postcards and Posters, but I also resell items that I buy from car boots, charity shops, online Marketplaces and retail arbitrage to sell on eBay for a profit. I’m currently focussed on Vintage Clothing and Golf Clothing as it was something I didn’t have to learn from scratch and helped me to get up and running quickly

Prints, Posters & Postcards

I’ve been selling Prints and Posters since 2005 and in 2024 I also started selling Postcards. I find it really enjoyable and it’s simple to do too. I created a couple of courses which walk you through everything that I do

Car Boots & Charity Shops

We’ve all seen the YouTube Videos buying and selling from car Boots and Charity Shops…I liked watching the videos so I thought I would give it a try

My Online Career Timeline

I started working online in February 2009 and these are a few highlights of my online journey so far

2009

I wrote my first Hello World blog post on 4th February 2009 on my very first website

2010 – 2011

I created my first Info Product: an eBook called “The Beginner’s Guide To Sales” to share the Sales Techniques that I had learned in the offline world. I also built my first mini-site to accompany it

2012

I co-created the Weekend Golfers online golf academy with PGA Professional Golf Coach, Richard Lawless. We created a series of Video Golf Coaching Courses that were delivered via WordPress websites and Apple’s mobile apps

2013

I created Easy Auction Income with a vision to help people make money selling Digital & Printed Media on eBay, and throughout the life of Easy Auction Income I created 15 separate video coaching courses

2014

I created Profit From CD-ROMs.
This course shows you everything you need to know to sell digital media, on CD-ROM’s on eBay. I gave this course away for free to every Customer I had at the time

2015

I teamed up with Robert Corrigan for the first time and we created Profit From Posters, a course which shows you everything you need to know to start and grow a Posters business on eBay

2015

Robert and I also created “Easy Auction Income Platinum“, a 12-month Membership site which delivered 12 stand-alone coaching programs that were delivered on a monthly basis

2016

I created “Easy Auction Income Premium” to make the members lives a little easier, especially the non-technical people in the community. I created resources like eBay listing templates and Print Packs that were hosted on my servers, and that were easy to use, and would enhance the member’s chances of selling on eBay

2018

I sold Easy Auction Income but continued to provide technical support behind the scenes

2019 – 2022

I created Fore King Golf which was an amateur golf tour running golf events in my local area. Covid got in the way of the business making progress and after a few years of being in limbo I closed in 2022

2021 – 2023

I spent a lot of time creating websites to be monetised with display ads. This went well until Google decided to shaft small publishers with their HCU crap

2024

I re-acquired Easy Auction Income, rebuilt the membership site and also created a new coaching program called Profit From Postcards a course which shows you everything you need to know to start and grow a Postcard business on eBay

Today

I am currently building an eBay business, and a job for myself, by buying things from car boot sales, charity shops and online Marketplaces to sell them for a profit. I record my progress, good and bad
