My first etsy sale

A couple of months ago I opened an online shop at etsy.com

Sale is very slow. There are too many sellers and I am not exactly getting my supplies cheap. I am selling some cheap stuff I can get in shops and sell it in USD.

Yesterday I received an email notification from Paypal. Someone in some island I never heard of bought 2 sets of erasers from me.

The payment process says completed. So I have to send out the goods. Honestly, shipping cost is not cheap but I have factor in the cost and make a small profit from it.
However, the money stays in Paypal.

Not sure if this is a valid sale or not. Can the Paypal status changed into “cancel” or “withdraw” later?

I’ve not put up anymore new items for sale for a long time. I also don’t have time to go bargain hunting for stuff to sell. There are too many sellers from Asia selling similar products.

Maybe I should look for something made locally which appeals to Americans or Europeans. It has to be craft supplies or handmade goods.

Need to make at least $4000 a year

This is a lot of money… I’m talking about $4000 in US Dollars.

I want to find ways to earn that kind of money online. This extra income will help to make my life easier.

The money is not for me to go on shopping spree, holidays or fancy dining. This is the amount I need for my insurance and retirement plan.

I am in the midst of getting a new medical plan. Before I get a full approval on the new plan, I cannot cancel my old plan. So I have to service both plans at the moment for at least 3 – 6 months.

Maybe I plan too much for myself. This is for my future since I do not have a rich boyfriend or husband to support me. It’s a real suffering to work so hard yet not make enough money.

Tell me how I can make more money when I’m already working 7 days a week?

My job pays me peanuts? Everywhere they pay the same, I cannot expect a big jump in my salary. Unless I hit the jackpot in my up and coming job interview. How much do you think Petronas will pay me? I am not some gwailo musicians, I just hope they pay higher than what I am getting now. :(
