I have had great success with this business in NJ (where I'm from). I just want to know how I would be able to expand this business. Any ideas?

Here is what it all is about:
Tommy's Ebay Venture - We Will Do It Ebay For YOU!

p.s. If anyone in NJ needs my services just let me know

Why wouldn't I use ebayxfactor.com? PM (private message) me if you would like help. I can probably get you quite a few products to sell.

Have you actually for a legal corporate entity with the state of NJ? Just curious.

Also, you may want to consider spending a great deal of time creating a new website or pay someone a fair amount to create one for you.

Unfortunately, outside the basics of business and web design, I can't be of too much help as I'm usually only a buyer on ebay. Good luck with your business, though. I wish you a great deal of success.

no corporate entity with NJ. But thanks for the advice

and I will get a web designer. I only know the basics (as you can see). I just designed it real fast as a way to promote my business, more like a flyer or informative brochure than a website.

Agreed, don't call yourself a corporation unless you are one. Not only does it look bad, but the legality of it can catch you. For the website, if you're looking to provide information about your business - look at joomla, drupal, or some other CMS. (Content Management System)... it'll clean it up and make it easier on the eyes.

As for growing and branching out to other states... it seems like you'd want to market this to companies going out of sale or something. I can't imagine a housewife sending you items, so you can resell them on ebay for her.

Just my coins.

This has been done before, but the operations set up now are highly localized to a small area.

If you would like this to work I say that you do two things:
1) Update or pay for someone to update your website.
2) Find areas where this has not already been established and try to start it there.

Overall I feel you can do this.
