About Robert Pugh

After 24 years working for the same company, and many years within the corporate sales division, Bob Pugh realised it was time for a change. He began selling on eBay in January 2003, initially by clearing his house of unwanted items, with very little knowledge of computers and no experience of selling via the internet. The first few months proved to be a steep learning curve. But he soon became an established eBay PowerSeller and has sold over 9,000 items. Now, aged 41, he has retired from full time work and uses eBay to generate an income as and when it is required. Editor of the popular website and blog, www.ebaybulletin.co.uk
