I have found it to be a waste. You have to get your things at wholesale to afford to sell at the prices stores on there sell for. If you use a drop shipper, you'll find 100s of others selling the same thing and it's like being a worker for this company that charges you a fee just to be a member of selling their stuff. Then chargeback is the king of the whole place. Paypal then charges $20 to process a chargeback. People return items and so on. Ebay is OK to sell a item here and there, but I don't think it's a profit ever seen the .com bubble burst. |

It can be difficult if you're just a casual seller looking to get rid of something you don't use anymore. You'll likely be forced to sell it for much less than you originally bought it for. However, for those who have eBay stores and a specific product niche that they sell (clothes, antiques, sports memorabilia, etc.), it's usually not as difficult to make a good profit. Although, in many cases, it's necessary to list an item at less than its retail value, users bidding, especially on popular items, can push the final sale amount far beyond retail value.
For example, when the iPhone first came out, it was listed on eBay for about half the price you would pay from Apple or AT&T. But because of the demand of the product, bidding easily pushed the price beyond two times its retail amount. |
