Why wouldnt amazon, ebay, or any other online avenue count? I wouldnt care if my money was made paying someone to sell lemonade on the side of the road, its money made that I havent had to work for... Virtually every small to middle sized online retailer integrates eBay into their online selling system. Even stores like Target, JB Hi Fi, Harvey Nornan, they all have eBay stores.
In 2014 there were a total of 1667 Australian eBay millionaires...

But no, eBay or Amazon are bad ideas, they dont count.
Now you are just being dismissive because you have just been shown up. Your posts reek of "tired old man who is angry at the world" syndrome.
lol I'm dismissive of your claims to be a mogul because of such modest claims
I'm also dismissive of your thinking that claiming to run an eBay shop with your nan helping part time was an answer to the question: "why do you think you know their business better than they do?"
1. Different industries
2. They are a multi million dollar company running hundreds if not thousands of employees
You claim to be a backyard market trader who "employs" one person
So yes, I'm dismissive
