Lightman is the founder of Linda's Stuff. She started selling her own clothes on eBay from her house outside of Philadelphia.
She explained: “One friend told another friend, ‘Hey, did you hear what Linda Lightman is doing? She’s selling her clothes on eBay. She’ll do it for you.’”
A lightbulb went off in her head. She ditched her career as a lawyer and went into it fulltime.
“Fifteen years later, here I am in a 93,000-square-foot warehouse with 100 plus employees,” she said.

Her massive warehouse holds all the big-name luxury brands. Thousands of people send their used or new clothes for Lightman to sell.
“We get the items, we process them, we tag them, we photograph them, we list them. And then the items sell. And they get their big, fat check pretty quickly,” she said.
“We will not put anything on the site that is not guaranteed 100 percent authentic,” she said.
Her “Great American Idea” shows no signs of slowing down.
