The Joys and Pains of eBay Selling!
Posted by dropshipebayer on March 12, 2008
Well, I had planned on writing something much sooner but I just haven’t had much time lately. Aside from still working full time I am still selling on eBay of course. And, as things pickup there my time is being fully consumed.
I will say this. eBay is making it more and more difficult to turn a profit. Although I still use the methods from DropShipping Sucks to find products really cheap I am getting sick of eBay deciding to keep more and more of my profits.
Sure, I am making a profit which was all I wanted from the start when I was trying using regular drop shippers. But I have gotten greedy and have gotten used to making decent money. I still am, but as I plan to expand and grow, my growth seems to be stunted by eBay and their endless need to make millions of more dollars by increasing fees!
The one good thing is that there seems to be less competition on eBay these days. I think many people have already abandonded them for greener pasture. Wherever that may be.
I might too take Chris’ advice of starting my own website and not relying on outside companies such as eBay and Amazon.com to staple my business.
What are your thoughts? Are you guys going to dump eBay? Have you dumped eBay? Is there somewhere else besides eBay (and Amazon.com) that you like?
Let me know! I am really interested. I am especially interested in hearing from other Drop Shipping Sucks customers like myself and what you are doing outside of eBay.
WISH ME LUCK!
