It takes more than a single slae to figure out how to use ebay to make a profit.

We are taking home approx 25-30% of total sales as profit after ALL expenses, including tax, fees, cost of stock, postage etc etc.

We just build all that into the item costs to come up with the price we have to list at. Take a browse at what our competitors are selling similar items for to see if its viable for that item and go on from there.

Whilst I don't like the fees either and the way ebay treat thier selling customers with the utmost disdain, we find we can still make a profit here. For now! It's only doom and gloom sometimes but you learn to toufghen up and live with it and move on.
