I absolutely love this story, but its worth noting that she
GROSSED about $19,000, which is very different than making $19k. I sell
T-shirts on one of my web sites and we "make" $15 per shirt. In reality with printing, shipping, packaging etc we actually put about $4 in our pocket and that pays for the shirts we give away.
So if she sold shirts for $25 and if she payed her assistant to ship them, and packaging etc that probably knocks about 5 or 6 grand off of her total. She probably paid up to $1000 in paypal fees alone. Still great, but not quite "making" 19K.
