The selling prices are right in there with the completed items prices. A recent thread asked why people don't trade fair on ebay. My question is why do people ask you to sell things that they have rotting in their garage, then bitch about the selling price? Or the % you want for your time? I have sold my last item for a friend on ebay. I won't even buy an item to sell, because they might find out that THEY wanted (and I gave them) $10 for the item, and I sold it for $20. Fergeddabout the items I bought for $10, and couldn't/didn't sell. That's different! I now give lessons on how to ebay. Price - $200 per day. If it is so Goddamned easy and a person can make so much money, YOU DO IT! If you do ebay, don't tell anyone. You are 100% right, selling stuff for friends is a big no-no. Never do it. You should have asked alt.marketing.online.ebay first, they would tell you that as well. It's really more of a test to see who isn't a real friend. Some people think that it is great that they "let me get a 10% commission" on some $20 POS item. i |
