It would be ok it postage weren't so expensive, I think it puts a lot of buyers off.

i always underquote postage cause ebay taxes you on it anyway i'd rather pay the extra out of my pocket than to hand it over to them

Yes, for one of my businesses I have generated enough interest to launch a website. The upside is that people are prepared to pay more as they are not necessarily eBayers so less shopping around, and because it is WA based so no long waits for postage.
The operating costs are less but you need to put in a lot of work drumming up business.

B&M auctions will charge you at least that.
A B&M shop will have fairly high overheads as well.
There are heaps of auction sites that charge less than eBay...

yes i relise this but when you sell overseas and get whacked by paypal as well your looking at a high end charge

So true about postage charges. I was looking at a basic little baby's cardi for $5 but postage was close to $9.
I thought.. nah, I'll look in the shops instead and see the price of a new one.
I think ebay is probably no longer a great venue for cheaper items, not if they need to be posted off in a parcel.
