Years ago when I was around 12 or so, I learned that people were not great at finding things on the internet and would buy whatever in their top couple results in a search engine.

I also learned about the buyer address for billing and delivery address feature for shipping things now known as drop shipping or re-selling.

I needed a computer so I sold quite a few hard drives and CPUs using eBay and supplies through another companies website. Once I received the money, I then purchased the item with my debit card I was given for “learning a checking/savings account”. I made enough for a computer and stopped. The humbling moment was a few years later when I realized I should have made that into a business. All of it was pre-internet taxation days too.
