Very expensive shipping
Because when I sell something I hardly earn anything because they take almost all the money paying for many things and the price of shipping sometimes they charge me too much

Mentor1 year agoeBay doesn't charge you for shipping. You, the seller, set up shipping. So if you are losing money it is because you haven't set up shipping properly. When you are creating your listing, make sure to enter the measurements of the item in packaging. Weigh it. Add those into your listing. The buyer provides the location and then eBay uses that with the shipping you set up to figure the price. Learn what zone you are in. Look at prices for the same item in different zones to understand what the charge will be. Always use calculated shipping so it accounts for these zones.
I see you are using free shipping. How much does that item weigh? How much will it cost to ship to the east coast? Use that figure (furthest shipping location from you) and add it to your price for the item. That will give you your price with free shipping (item + shipping).

Mentor1 year agoIt is the seller responsibility to understand the cost of shipping and cost of selling the products.
Either you need to set your prices higher or the shipping cost higher in order to earn something.
