Anyone Still Making Good Money Selling On EBAY?

[luckygirl15]

I also get emails from ebay say list the first 50 items for free. The fees are very high but I'm basically trying to sell nice stuff that's too nice to sell on craigslist.

I do remember reading something about a return policy. Is that mandatory and is it for everything or just ebay stores?

It does seem like ebay is taking a bigger cut which is why I don't like to sell there.

I occasionally make some extra money on Ebay, but I don't make a career out of it. A few months ago my work tossed out three copies of some old software still in the shrink wrap. I took them home and placed one of them on Ebay with a $100 buy it now. I was floored that it sold in a few hours, I ended up selling the other two copies to someone for $150 each. That's $400 extra just for picking something out of the trash. You never know what will sell on Ebay, but now I keep a much closer eye on the trash bins at work.

But yes I've noticed the fees edging up, there market is saturated, the only to can make ever higher profits is by raising there fees.

I've lately tried to sell a Sniper computer case, Dodge Strut Cap Kit, and Women's Cycling Jerseys on Craigslist but no one has responded. It's seems I might have to resort to selling on ebay. When I sold some skirt suit back in 2010 after Paypal and ebay fees I got 96 to 97% of the auction price. But today it might be different.

Are listing still free these days? I think ebay makes their money from your sale and then they charge a listing fee cut.

I've been in the market for women's cycling jerseys and never once did I consider to look on craigslist. I was looking on ebay the whole time.

I don't want to do Craiglist because I don't want people coming to the house.
