Default Re: Your Tips For Selling on Ebay

I started selling on eBay this year and initially it was a lot of fun but like Jewels I got burned out after 6 months. I was making about $200-$300 net after fees ect but I had to work a lot of hours to make that $250 a month. Now I won't sell an item unless I know I can get at least $20-30 after fees.

Some good tips are:

* Watch out for fees. EBay hits you three times with fees. Once to list, once to sell and third when you get paid. (PayPal) EBay will only give you a PARTIAL refund when you re-list an unsold item.

* Only ship to confirmed PayPal addresses. Change your settings in PayPal to accept payment from confirmed addresses only.

* Don't waste time. Unless the item I'm selling is used or unique I usually just copy and paste the picture and description from amazon.com or a similar website.
