You gave em free shipping? You never ever give em free shipping unless it is built into the selling price. Fees are your OVERHEAD or cost of doing business...would you rather have to pay rent for a Brick and Mortar space.same diff.

Before I buy something I figure in cost of item, ebay fees and selling range to see what my margin is going to be. Some times you do not make as much money as you thought you could. then it is get rid of it and move on..

Lately with the hoard of stuff I have accumulated it is I wana get rid of it...so I do not quibble over a coupla buxs. I take my profit KCHING and run..next item..

If I could make the same ROI on all my investments as I do on Ebay I would not be sitting here talking you ESPECIALLY WELL EDUCATED FELLAS...
