   There are three companies here that I deal with doing it. As far as
I can tell, a warehouse is the first requirement, and a fair amount of
seed cash is the second. It takes a lot of volume.
   DSI enterprises keeps about 8 people in the Austin office alone, just
running eBay auctions.

   But I agree; it's not a career that appeals to me.
