Anyone think it's possible to make money selling short stories online, and getting paid through paypal?

I doubt it - even Stephen King couldn't get people to pay for his stories on-line (using the honor system).  Too many people love writing for the sake of writing - they give it away for free!  It's so rare to find someone so gifted that their writing is worth paying for - and even they don't get much money, not unless they are one of the 10-20 people on the best sellers lists.\n\nWriting erotica stories - one would think that would have an automatic paying base built right in! - but again, it's really difficult to write well, and so many people would rather take something that's just OK but free on the internet.\n\nOn-line transactions have another build-in problem - unauthorized copying and distributing - you work hard, create something special, and everyone winds up stealing it.  You get nothing.  So many people think that downloading songs is a victimless crime, but writers can understand that it's not.  If you can afford the .99 but would rather steal it - that's just mean.\n\nIn short, if you love to write, then write!  If you need to pay the rent, you're going to need to do something else in addition.

OK ... after I spend a few minutes legitimately trying to help you, I'm going to go look up "Gulible" in the dictionary ... this has just got to be a joke.\n\nThe most popular sites for on-line sales are E-bay and Craig's List.\n\nYou might, in this case, ensure that you read the details about what you are allowed to sell there ... I think it's all pretty open, but we're talking about live animals here ?\n\nAlso, shipping and insurance can be a hassle.  There is lots of on-line help about how to get started and how to handle shipping and such on both sites.\n\nYou'll also want to establish a PayPal account ... don't use your account ... set up a different one or use his.  PayPal allows users to send their payments to PayPal and PayPal then deposits the funds into your account or you can hold them right there in PayPal like you would a regular account.  Lots of info is available on their site.  To do this, remember that to accept credit card payments administered by PayPal, you'll have to have a PayPal premium account and that costs a little bit each month.  PayPal is safe and secure.\n\nOK, I gotta go look up Gullible now.

Yes it's true there are a lot of ways to make money online, here are some of the legitimate ways. \n\nYou can visit this site http://ways2makemoney.awardspace.com to get a much clear view and explanations.\n\n1. Make a Website - You can earn money from websites through ppc advertising like Google Adsense or promote Affiliate Programs.\n\n           a.) It is getting more and more people like to make money with AdSense through a website. Creating an AdSense site is not difficult as there are a number of site builders allow people to build websites without programming knowledge and skills. To generate Adsense revenue from your website you need visitors. The more people visit your site, the higher your AdSense earning will be.\n\n           b.) Affiliate Programs/Marketing - Possibly one of the easiest ways to make money online. What you will do is promote products from other companies and earn referral fees. Almost every online company that has a product to sell has their own affiliate program, signing up is free and easy. \n\n2. eBay Business - Have a lot of old stuff or unwanted things? Why not sell them on ebay and make some extra money. If you need to make more profit by selling a wide variety of products, here's how you can find products for reselling on ebay:\n\n      1) Buy from flea market.\n      2) Deal with wholesaler or dropship wholesaler.\n\n3.

It's okay to do but probably not your safest option.  Paypal is convenient because your account numbers or credit card numbers are not provided to the seller.  If you pay directly to the seller, then you pose a risk of identity theft or sales fraud, and seeing that Paypal is free, I don't know why anyone would pay any other way.

can't you do it through paypal. Ask the seller to send you an invoice and pay step by step. x x x

YES, I think so, also they required link to your checking account...Peoples bid and pay to your paypal account and after deducted all fee they will transfer to your checking or whever account you have set up with paypal. I don't have very good xperience with either ebay or paypal and just last month some body when in paypal and deduct over $100 from my checking, It taking me over 3 week to deal in between paypal and my bank in order for me to get my money back to my checking account. So I just "Goodbye" paypal and I just stick with good old cash transaction with Craigslist.com, I got better business dealing with local and cash. Just too many "crooked" out there

Head to Authorhouse (www.authorhouse.com)\n\nDo your own promotion and save a ton of money. Most authors get 80 cents or less per book sold. Do it as a POD and you can make $6 or more.

Possibly through a 3rd party like Paypal.

Yes money really can be made by selling on e-bay. As with any endeavor, it is wise to research prior to jumping in. Make sure that the product you are selling is doing well on the site. Figure in the cost of fees. Read all of the fine print. Start off with just a few items to give you a chance to learn the intricacies of listing, collecting, shipping. Then once you feel comfortable, go for it. I did, don`t regret it one bit. You`ll also find that many of the people you deal with there are very helpfull.

I don't think it sounds very fishy, it is a lot of work to keep up with ebay and listing and checking questions and answering.  Sorry I can't help you.  I am busy with my own ebay business and a second business also that I began only a couple of months ago and it's taking off on me.  I would suggest a family member or something along that lines to help you out.  I don't think you will find a stranger to trust you to pay them to work for you.  That's just the world today because there really are too many scams out there.  I wish you luck and don't let people get to you.  It never hurts to ask.

Absolutely they do pay; I've been getting paid from such sites for quite a while now.\n\nBut two major things to consider are that: 1) unfortunately there are scams out there and 2) you need to be realistic about how much you can earn by reading paid emails.\n\nSites that promise more than 5c per email are probably a scam. One good resource for investigating what sites pay are visiting certain forums dedicated to Paid to Read, where some members list proof of payment, such as screenshots. I myself have made a page that shows proof of payments I have received. I've listed the forums and my Xanga page in the "sources" below.\n\nYou can make some nice extra cash from paid to read emails, but probably won't cover your bills. If you want to make a more sizable income without having to pay any fees or investing anything, you might want to try "paid to sign up" sites, where you basically agree to try free products and services, and in return you earn bonus money. Sites can be found in the "sources" section listed below.

Why not hire a local website developer to set up an online form that takes the orders directly, including payment via Paypal? If you absolutely cannot do that for some reason, then allow them to fax the form to you. Most people want things done quickly.\n\nBest of success.

I work on-line. My Web site is http://www.writershelper.com. That site sells a service. My next step will be to build two more sites that make passive income, meaning all I'll have to do is put up the site, not offer a service. There are several good ways to make money with sites that offer information people want.  Everyone knows something.\n\nCheck out the site below. Take advantage of the free download e-books. They give you a ton of information.

I do a lot of stuff online to bring in extra cash. I just started a live journal today that shows the different programs I've used, and how well they work. I don't post scam stuff, and I post all the info I have about the program upfront.\n\nhttp://mylifeathome.livejournal.com/
