Accounting is an essential part to any business

It is easy to get caught up in the fun of selling things on eBay.  Auctions are great entertainment and you will find yourself anticipating their outcome when you are selling as much as those who are anxious to purchase the product you are selling.  It is easy to get distracted but dedicate a little time every day to recording what you spend and how much money you have made.  This will do wonders for helping you prepare for doing your taxes but it will also help you to gauge how well your business is doing.  My favorite saying is, "What can be measured, can be improved upon!"
