Alright this is a few questions for my fellow mylotters. First do you currently sell on ebay? If you do how much do you make in a month? If you have sold on ebay and dont why not? Also what is the most you have ever made on ebay minus shipping and fee costs? Let me know thanks mylotters have an awesome night or day whereever you are.

I've tried selling something on eBay once before. That's been the one and only time I've ever tried. But I have considered giving it a shot again.

I do sell on ebay but not regularly. Just whenever I feel like it really. I have not really sold anything that was worth alot..books..clothes...just stuff like that. I think the most important thing to remember is to set a reserve on anything that you have money in. What do you sell on there?

I have sold a lot of differnt things on ebay. I tend to sell used things more than anything but I have found some good clothes at yard sales and made huge profits on them with ebay. I feel you kinda have to take some chances with trying out different products and see where it goes from there.

I have sold an item before on ebay but, I actually met with someone who happens to be the brother of the person who intended to purchase the item that I posted.
In most cases, here in our country, we do meet-ups since it guarantees both seller and buyer about the item as well as the payment being transacted. So shipping and earnings each month would be out of my experience, even though I would like to do something like that at least..
I have not recently sold any items after that.

hi mom!
i used to have an online store at ebay acouple of years back. i sold audio cds and shirts. i was clearing maybe $100-$150 a month. got tied up with my day job so i didn't have the time to manage the online store and eventually gave it up. also, ebay introduced a lot of changes that in my opinion made it more difficult for sellers such as myself to post my items at ebay. decided to give it up altogether after a couple of months. haven't visited the site recently but i heard that most of the old users left the site and decided to switch to other sites.
cheers!!!

So far, I have only been a buyer. I've had some good experiences on Ebay and some bad ones. I think some people just have a knack for doing well at things and I'm not lucky enough to be that way. I'd sure like to sell things but I have yet to pluck up the courage.

I've never sold on ebay. I've thought about it a few times but I haven't tried it yet. I don't know when or if I will. I'm a little nervous about doing it. I don't want to screw something up and have my rating go down. Right now I've only bought things on ebay and my rating is 100%. I would be afraid that I would displease a customer somehow and they would give me a bad rating. I may try it one day when I have more time to focus on it. I was thinking about taking it up after my kids are all in school.

No I don't sell on ebay. I have purchased a few items off there. Most of my selling is local. I use craigslist.

I have never sold anything on ebay. I have heard it is expensive with the shipping and the ebay expenses. I am anxious to hear what other people have responded to your discussion. Have a great day.

I haven't, but my sister used to have a "store" on Ebay where she sold children's clothes. A few of my friends and family buy things often from Ebay. I may try selling things there someday, household things I no longer need.

I've used Ebay once to sell some of my unwanted books...I mad about $22 not including listing fees and ebay fees.Ebay charges you 50 cents or more to list something on their site, then they minus 5% of whatever you make...Yeah so it's kinda expensive to sell off ebay.
The first time I tried to sell my books I didn't take into account how heavy they were so I didn't charge enough for postage...So yeah on that venture I kinda made a loss.
