As a new seller, you need to consider how to increase the amount you make on each sale, and unfortunately the Ebay fees are not going to be avoided.
@monica-sells has suggested a way to try to reduce your shipping costs.
I will now suggest a way to increase your revenue.
The use of auctions for selling your items is not appropriate for all of the items you are selling.
Auctions may lead to a sale in 7 days, but they depress prices for all but the most desirable items. A fixed price listing for a longer period of time with a higher price may generate more revenue.
It is unlikely that an individual will want repair manuals for multiple cars, so you are likely to sell a lot of 4 to another seller who will resell at a higher price, but have to wait longer to make their profit. That seller will pay for your lot when they make one sale.
A lot of new sellers think of Ebay as an auction site. The bulk of the listings on Ebay are not auctions. They are buy it now. Auctions are inconvenient to many buyers, and often items sell on one bid because few buyers for them will see the listing in a 7 day period. There are many more listings for buyers to choose from then there were in the heyday of Ebay auctions, and buyers have many other ways to use their time. In the old days people spent many hours each week looking at Ebay auctions, they no longer visit Ebay as often.
