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! :(

I think out of every animal I have painted, cats have been the most fun!

I have been scoping out what is selling on eBay these days, predominantly in the Clothing arena. I find that shoes are NOT selling all that well but adult diapers are. That seems funny to me but then I'm never surprised at what's on people's lists. I tend to sell plus-size womens and girls fashions and see that "Lots" tend to sell at a fairly good price. I can just imagine the shipping involved. Anyone else doing sleuthing of the numbers?

Hey Mommies! How are you all doing? My little one is keeping me busy. He is now 6 1/2 months old and very active. I'm never bored with him.
Anyhow...I am happy because I have sold over 50 items since late November (even though everyone has not left feedback, I still have a 100%)! I want to increase sales so I am offering my items internationally for 2009. I hope it was a good idea. How have things been for you all, especially after the holiday season?
Don't forget to check some of my newly listed items!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, so lets just say I am now among the over one and a half million people that have in the last year become unemployed AND still have to pay bills somehow. It's true, it's really scary to know that I have "inquired" about many many jobs and have had to compete with hundreds, I'm not even kidding, of other applicants that seek the same result as I.

i do not think I have ever experienced in my life such a disturbing time for the economy. That being said, I have to say that I have found many many ways to SAVE money, just not that many ways to make money; that is until I discovered eBay. Now I discover neighborhoods too?...great!

Here's my question. In the past when this type of economic stress presented itself, what were the most popular jobs at the time?

I'm trying to figure out what are going to be the most popular positions in the immediate future.

So now I guess what I'm doing would be the equivalent Spring Cleaning and Garage Sale type stuff.

Wow I am swamped with a new bag of male and female type Barbies and they are musty and a ton of Barbie clothes from the 60's and 70"s . I am a bit overwhelmed ! My plan is to wipe them with a damp cloth and should I hand wash the clothes before listing. I don't even have any idea how to id them all. I took off one head to look for a date and a "connector piece is now up in the head, I know I can get to it. But afraid to remove others. Please give me advice so I do not ruin this for collectors as I am not. You may have seen some of the dolls I have listed from this estate lot but today the mother load came in... Help. How do I do this?

I opened a store on ebay and now I don't know if it was a good idea...it seems to expensive already. I have tried it before, thought if I really read all about it that would make a difference. but for $15.95 a month plus normal prices on outside the store (Like Auction or Buy it now)see numbers below, for more exposure seems to be racking up the money. Jeez, I pay only 48 for a website with more features than this has...anyone else seem to have any opinions about this? I seem to have sold more without the store.

Is anything selling? I've been checking similar items before I list and vintage jewelry items don't seem to even be receiving bids - starting at a low bid price ends up costing the seller. I have a nice lot of quality, but not signed, costume jewelry, most in excellent condition. Many items are individually packaged and id'd. Also a single vintage men's signed ID bracelet. I'm ready to shut down for a while. I'm also offering a stamp and bonus item for payment by MO. PayPal's fees are extravagant and I need to make something for my products, time and effort. Does anyone share my feelings?

I'm sure this has been repeated endlessly, but are you going through a slump through this economic downfall? I am curious if the market still allows for emotional purchases, such as jewelry for weddings and what you find those numbers are, as far as pricing. Do you feel that things less than 100.00 sell better even for artisan jewelry? I hand make my own pieces so I'm trying to find a compromise to where I'm not selling out to zero profit but I also understand, in this phase of our economy, beggars can't be choosers. Any suggestions or input?

Does anybody knows any good website to find garage sales, yard sales and estate sales?

I know of creglist, but sometimes it becomes a pain to find the right ones. I am looking for a more user friendly site.

If this site doesn't exist, I am thinking of creating a mega database website with nothing but garage, yard, and estate sales. Give me your suggestions.

Just thinking about the looming estate sale season has me stressing out!

As if the weeks are not long enough now, they always get even shorter when the weekends are filled with sales.

I just wrote a guide in hopes that it will asist all fellow "sailors" in their ventures so please do take a look at it and be sure to vote on it if usefull

Thanks!
