Selling Low Priced Items

[colexsell4u]

I Notice A Lot Of Sellers Put Items On Ebay Worth Little As $3 To $10, Is It Really Worth It, As Ebay Fees Come Out Of Everything Sold??

I'm not saying that you do bank deposit for a new seller,but for the well know sellers there is no problem depositing into their bank.I mostly deposit into bank accounts for the sellers that I have come to trust but I always have the items sent registered post and I haven't had any problems what so ever

define new.

I have sold in excess of 1000 books in the last 3 years and I don't recall a repeat buyer. So to all of my buyers I am probably a new seller.

Also beware of sellers who will be brilliant selling low value items, then start 'selling' high value items once they've built up some trust/feedback, rake in the bank deposits and disappear into the setting sun.

Or those whose accounts have been hijacked.

I am quite happy paying Paypal fees for my buyers' peace of mind. It's a cost of business.

But your original statement was that profit was 90% of sale price - disregarding cost, listing fees and Paypal (usually) fees. Not so.

Sellers often sell a range of items, they use their higher priced products to offset the lower priced items. I know myself I have some lower priced items and because of them I often get bigger sales whether it be buyers buying several of the lower priced items or they click through to look at what else I sell that might interest them.

Profit is 90% of my sales maybe not yours or others but it is in mine

So you don't pay listing fees, don't accept Paypal and don't pay for your items.

Thanks for the heads up.

No I don't pay listing fees as I only list the free listings,I do pay FVFs,I except PayPal and Bank Deposits.Most of my items that I sell I have collected over the years or have acquired from family and friends,so they did cost me something when I first got them but I am making a great profit from selling them now.
