eBay no longer worth it for selling low dollar items.
I bought a Pioneer reel to reel tape player a number of years ago. The guy threw in a box of metal 10 inch take up reels. I have no use for them and ran across them again just the other day. Each reel comes in its own sturdy cardboard slide in mailing box. So I thought I might sell them individually on eBay. I look at some others and post mine for just a bit more as mine are in as new condition. $25. I figured five dollars for mailing them out USPS media and I profit $20. But no! Turns out eBay charges me $4.10 for a transaction fee. So now, my profit is down to $15. Hardly worth the effort of making the trip to the post office.
I’m going to post the rest of them on Facebook marketplace and see if there is any interest. I liked using eBay in the past as you got nationwide attention.
Rant over.
