An Ebay business which sells items for roughly a dollar with free shipping is something I cannot relate to.
The buyers for such an Ebay seller are likely to be scarier than other Ebay buyers.
It is not surprising that you are giving up selling on Ebay. What is surprising is that you survived long enough to sell 6k items.
Happy Birthday and may you find a saner future.
A quick examination of their banknote sales shows that they were doing it all for free, and were actively losing money if they were paying anything for the banknotes.
They were losing at least 9 cents on every one of those 99 cent orders. They were making 5 cents on the $1.15 orders and 14 cents on the $1.25 orders.
That is with no promotions, zero cost of goods, just 2 cents for an envelope, 64 cents for standard envelope shipping and then ebay fees and that is with 100 percent of customers living in areas without any sales tax to pay fees on.
As far as I can see the business model is lose money on every order and pray someone orders more than one item in a transaction so they actually make something.
I suggest taking a break, bulking out those worthless notes out and starting over with something that has a chance at making you minimum wage.
