If you sell something that is only worth a couple of bucks how can you justify selling it on ebay when the flat rate shipping costs more than the value of the item itself. How do you guys get around that? Thanks in advance!
In that case it's not the shipping that cuts into profits but the eBay fees. All shipping & handling should be paid for by the buyer. You can also roll eBay fees into your handling costs (but you can't say so) although that's harder to do for an item that only sells for a few bucks.
