How boy, 14, has built up £15k-a-year eBay empire from family's milk parlour mirror.co.uk

A 14-year-old entrepreneur has built up an online toy shop from his family's milking parlour – and now turns over £15,000 a year. Schoolboy Tommy Howard officially launched shop Dog In A Box on eBay last year – named after his pet pooch Oreo. Stocking 1,000 products that he ships all over the world when he gets home from school, he never takes a day off. And the youngster even works over the school holidays to fulfil around 70 orders a week. He got the idea when his little brother put a £35 Nerf gun on his birthday list two years ago, and Tommy realised you could buy a whole bundle second hand for less.
