Giving it a shot again!!

Yeah the shipping is horrible. I have been selling some stuff through another website and when I went to ship something the other day it was almost 10.00 to ship it. Man. Ate up all of my profit for that . I lost a lot of money.

I have been selling on ebay since last February and have done okay. Shipping fees are a killer if you don't know the exact weight, size, etc of your package. I think the way to go is to sell something that doesn't vary in weight or dimensions so that you have stable fees. I am selling things from my house, others homes, etc so will have to deal with that for awhile. I have learned that printing your own label saves on shipping fees. I send everything with a delivery confirmation so to do this online is much cheaper than the 65cents charged at the post office. Also, recycling packages that come to me has helped with costs. It seems over the long haul that priority mail is the way to go. If the package is heavy and will fit in the flat rate boxes, that helps. I too, am still learning... Ebay is a tremendous place to do business, and even with all of the fees, I am happy.
