Hello,
I am relatively new to listing my inventory items on Ebay..
I have a small business in which I am listing items that sell for $10.95 up through $70.00.
I have created Fixed Price listings for these items and listed approximately 100 of them on ebay...
It seems that the Ebay Insertion fees are eating up any and all revenues...Am I doing something wrong?
From my research, it looks like Ebay charges an insertion fee when products are listed...Then charge a final fee if they are sold...
When I set them up on Auctiva I use "Estimated Fees" and most times it is $0.35...
I am being charged $0.35 for the insertion and then $1.31 for a Final Value Fee....That is $1.66 on a $10.95 sale...That is not to mention the Paypal fees, etc. etc....What am I doing wrong? How are people selling items for $4.95 and making any money?
It is my understanding that Fixed priced items do not qualify for a relist credit on the insertion fee??
When I first listed these items, I did not even know about the inseration fees...I thought that Ebay was paid only if an item sold...What a deal for them!
What recommendations do you have for a small busines that will keep selling the same items over and over and over...List for 21 days Make many available??
Thanks for any advice...I have to figure this game out..
Mike
