For a very long time, I didn't have much good luck selling on ebay. And maybe that was because people didn't know me and I didn't have much history there. But things have changed. I have a solid history selling there now and my rating is excellent. I've been very fair with my pricing and sometimes I offer free shipping so everyone is happy. It's been a matter of having to get things sold and out of here. The real fun happened with one rubber stamp from my collection. Apparently, it's become a real collector's item and there was a real bidding frenzy at the end. I managed to sell just one stamp for $50! That made my day! So now I don't mind the others selling for $3 or $4 each. It all adds up and gives me a little bit of spending money for after I've moved, if I need rugs for the new place. Selling on ebay sure can be fun! Have you tried it? How have you fared?

I bought and sold for a while but haven't done much lately. I need to get back into it.

@CRK109 I know there are people here who sell knitting and crochet. I have some old cassette tapes to sell so they'll be my next project.

it's a lot of fun to clear out a home or apartment. once I've moved, I'm going to see if I can sell any jewelry. I know it's fun to create and if I can make a dollar or two, all the better! :)

Never tried selling on Ebay, would find it too much of a hassle.

it's definitely not for everyone, that's for sure. But once I got into it and got all of my supplies organized, it's really a lot of fun now.

i havent tried selling on ebay but i did take advantage of some items on sale before.. it was real fun putting an item to my watchlist, to bidding.. to closing the deal and finally waiting for the package.

I bought on ebay for years before I began selling anything. It's good to have your name out there with a good reputation. Keeps people interested! :)

Some money is always better than no money and it all adds up in the end.

I'm going to be trying my hand at etsy after I move. I sat in on a webinar for selling on etsy and it all make common sense to me. Ebay is a lot oeasier since I'm just getting rid of stuff I don't need. Etsy means I need to sit down and begin creating again. :)
