What do you think of this strategy?

[sakic92710]

If I post 100,000 listings on eBay & build up $7,000 in fees, per month, do you think I'll be able to sell $3,000 a month?  lol  #JustFedUp    Good luck to us all.

Brilliant. Simply Brilliant.

lol, aint that the truth! Starting to get the idea the party is over with ebay. You could probably make more money with a lemonade stand than you could with ebay.

Seriously thinking about moving back to California and selling again at the Solano flea market. I did an average of $500 in sales 1 day a week at the age of 14, yet I'm lucky if I do $25 a week on ebay.

Sad but true.

As to moving back to California, better have a freaking fortune to live here now. I'm a native and I'm thinking of finding a new State to live in, you can't afford an outhouse here anymore.

You'd be cheaper to have ten Anchor Stores at $350 each.

That's only $3500 in listing fees.

Then you would have to sell (with Free Shipping , obs) $35, 000 in value to get near that $7,000 in total fees to eBay.

You'd have nearly $500 left to pay for goods and for packaging.

I will leave out the cost of Paypal fees sonce those don't go to eBay.

I'm a lot of fun at parties.

Yea, tell me about it.  I did better at age 12 dabbling in mail order than this little ebay gig of today.

@sakic92710   Only if you offer Free Shipping and Free Returns ... then it should work ...

[gamersbaystore]

I have to admit its much cheaper to live here in St Louis where I reside today. But there's no jobs here, no real way to earn a living. Everyone here is pretty much rich or poor.

You can get a good sized one bedroom apartment here for just $600 a month!  I can't imagine what housing costs are back in Cali.

Cheap cost of living in the Midwest, but very few job opportunities.

I know! At 12 I did better walking the streets of my neighborhood pulling my little red wagon and picking up soda bottles and turning them in for deposit refunds at the store. 😞 

[this*old*attic]

Oh my gosh! I did that too!!!!!

[camthan-26]

Tell me how about that

I think it is a brilliant strategy, as long as you buy those 100,000 items from me 🙂

I preferred selling Fizzies as a kid ... all but the Root Beer flavored ones, those I drank myself LOL!

You can't find a trash can to live in here for $600 a month @gamersbaystore. $600 about covers my water and electricity, also outrageously expensive.

I lived under a garage in a 'studio' about 5 years ago, $1500! I thought I found a good deal too.
