Spring Hill, Florida - Desperate times call for desperate measures, and Sherry Campbell proves it.

The Spring Hill mother decided to list herself on eBay to get a job. While she has a job at a local car dealership, she makes $7.21 an hour and is on a draw, which means that she owes the company part of that hourly wage if she doesn't sell cars.

This month, she didn't make rent.

"You gotta do what you gotta do," Campbell said. "I'm in sales. So I thought what a better way to sell myself than to list myself on eBay."

Campbell listed herself as an employee for hire, uploaded her resume and set the starting bid at 99 cents.

She did get a few responses, but they were all for out-of-town jobs. Mostly, Campbell received well wishes from people who admired her audacity and creativity.

Campbell's goal is to get a salaried job out of the listing, but someone flagged her post and eBay took it down, saying that listing a person or services is against the rules.

If you'd like to hire Campbell, she can be reached through her email address at firstbigdaddy@tampabay.rr.com.
