If you're selling or looking to sell on Ebay you have to factor in the fees you pay for listing, final value fees and PayPal Fees.
Before you listyour product have you conducted a profitability study? It's not enough that you conduct market research to see how much you can sell an item for. You must also crunch some numbers that will give you information on what it will cost you to any product on eBay. See my blog at http://fyhomestore.blogspot.com

I've sold a few things here lately.....but my profit wasn't all that great due to all the fees.What's even worse is....you still get charged for listing a item weather you sell it or not.I checked out some of those free auction sites.....but the only problem that I could find was that most everything listed there had no bids on it.....that pretty much leaves it useless.
It's not that hard to do the math on how much you will actually make after you sell something.If you are out to make a big profit and set your price to high....you are more likely to loose money than to make any.
It's just one of those things you can't change.....no matter how anoying it may be.
