xtremef4i Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 What's the difference between listing everything auction style and having an ebay store? Are the listing and selling fees cheaper? what's the advantage over auction style? I have sold a bunch of random things over the years and always worked out pretty well for me.

kawi kid Posted January 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 thats what i was kinda wondering. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted January 15, 2009 Report Share Posted January 15, 2009 I figure its easier to just list what you have auction style that way you can set your lowest price you want, and if you get lucky, it will get bid up higher than your minimuim and you made more money than expected. Plus its easier, and they way I look at it, you dont have to report earnings for taxes like you might have to if you have an ebay store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moto-Brian Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Before you get all excited, understand a few things... Companies that have legit ebay stores will make good money. However, listing fees, selling fees, PayPal fees, shipping costs, labor to run that division of the shop, money spent on a website that directs people there, etc. are HUGE money costs.Most shops realize quickly that they spend a LOT compared to what they make. You can sell crap all day long an "make money", but in reality, it isn't going to be something you can live off... If it is, you'll have to be selling PILES of stuff each day to do so. Even then, the mragins will be tight...I'd focus on Craigslist before I would consider an Ebay store. Ebay is getting to the point it is getting harder and harder to find great deals. Plus, with companies mandating price protection on new products, people pay the same amount for the same product and it is listed 100 times...
