This year, at least 30 million people will buy and sell well over $20 billion in merchandise — more than the gross domestic product of all but 70 of the world’s countries. More than 150,000 entrepreneurs will earn a full-time living selling everything from diet pills and Kate Spade handbags to $30,000 BMWs and hulking industrial lathes.
