	FEES, FEES, FEES!!! I am furious! In May my sales were $246.13. My eBay fees for that period were $80.38, and my concordant PayPal fees were $11.12, for a fee total of 91.50!!! That means I paid eBay about 33% of my revenue!!! That's more than 1/3 of what I sold!!! How can we sellers make any money with outrageous fees such as these??? eBay (and PayPal) must lower their fees! :( by norcalcounsel ) Jul 7, 2009 06:10 AM \| No Products Discussed	17
	Advice on how you optimize your listings I was just curious on what others are doing to optimize their listings. It seems like when you list especially a gadget for sale about a million other people are doing the same thing. They all use the right keywords but what does that really matter in such a competitive market. Perhaps someone can shine some light on the subject and some best practices that have worked for you. I mean don't get me wrong I have sold a few things but lately it seems like a needle in a haystack. They say use as many keywords as possible which is cool and I understand that but even that doesn't bring in the numbers you where hoping for. Perhaps some other promotion techniques out there someone might have. Related Items: item: 220327086004 by cubabrasil1975 ) Mar 10, 2009 10:07 AM \| 3 Products Discussed	3

	Hello I have a question about listing an antique vase that has no markings? Thank You to anyone who is reading this. I am slowly working my way throough opening and Ebay store, and have read that talking to other members about your listings is a good way to get started. I have listed a very beautiful vase, and I was hoping that someone could look at the auction to tell me what I can do to approve my chances of getting a bid. Or if anyone possibly recognizes it and can tell me where to go to do more research, I would greatly appreciate it! Thank You, Becky Related Items: item: 180306456359 by lbrahn ) Nov 18, 2008 09:47 AM \| 1 Product Discussed	1
	Listing Suggestions & Recommendations for Sellers There have been so many changes from eBay that Sellers are required to comply with lately. It seemed that we might be able to share ideas and tips of things to avoid to make our listings better and not spend so much time making changes. eBay is requiring the elimination of the mention of 'Money Orders/Checks' (paper money) in our listings starting in October. Check your listing text. You will need to change the text within your listings or let them expire and do new listings without the 'illegal mentions'. This would be a good time to review any other text that might change at some future time - USPS Shipping Fees, Insurance Fees, etc. If you use a template, review the template so you eliminate any mention of money orders or checks from any new listings that you do. Watch the eBay listing form!!! - It allows the check box for Money Orders/Cashiers Checks to still be clicked. Review it for any listing that you renew or when doing a new listing. Sales Tax - Amazon is in court fighting New York state about internet collection of sales tax on shipments into New York, even if you don't have an office there. Watch what happens with this court case. We all may have to collect NY sales tax. And, if NY succeeds, expect other states to quickly follow in requiring sales taxes for shipments to their states. And, this might be a good time to 'strategize' about your listings. If you have many items, do you group or 'cluster' them to have more of a presence among all the other eBay listings? Do you spread out your listings so you have some closing almost every day of the week? Paul by mylegacy-treasures ) Nov 6, 2008 08:58 AM \| 1 Product Discussed	36

	Okay this is a good one for you professional ebayers Here's my problem I'm currently selling wood but alot of times the more direct I'm with the title the harder it is for me to find in the search results. how do you list something that is a challenge to find. Well I'm trying turning wood blah blah now it seems to be working out better. Has any one els gone through this? Does it get any easier? I just can't stand when it takes me longer to find my item than it took to list it. This isn't rude to ask I don't quite know ebays proper code.

	Writer's eBlock Soooo, how much time do you spend eBaying when you should be writing? For me, it's a LOT. Like, right now, for example. I'm a reporter and I'm working on a profile of a wonderfully successful woman and blah-blah-blah. I can't help but checking my auctions once an hour to see how wonderfully successful I might become. ;-) Which led to discovering neighborhoods, which led to picking a bunch to join, which led to this post - and not a real word (for which I will be paid, that is) has been written all night. I think my problem is that eBay is such a good proxy for all my favorite things about my job: shoe-leather reporting = hunting for stuff to sell background research = searching completed listings writing the story = writing the listing filing the story (such a great feeling) = listing the auction The only part that feels like a pain is shooting the pictures - and frankly that's always a pain at work, too, what with fitting into the photog's schedule and all. But eBay tops the paper by letting me see how many people view my auctions. When I write a story for the paper, I never have any clue how many people read it. Could be 50, could be 50,000 or more - I wouldn't know. Oh, and being able to revise your listing once it's in "print" rocks, too. What I wouldn't give to be able to do that with my stories... by katiegirl*vintage ) Mar 28, 2008 05:55 PM \| 3 Products Discussed	7
