Title: do you still have success on ebay?
Post by: metsrock69 on February 03, 2017, 10:15:34 am
I have noticed the last 6 months, my ebay sales have dropped. Have you had success on ebay?

Ebay needs to revamp itself, it is so dated & when I run a search i get a bunch of items I didn't even ask for.   I think their search is broken.  They don't even advertise anymore... 

I used to love shopping on there when they did auctions & they more variety of stuff. :(

I haven't sold on there in a few years (no time) but I still love to buy on there.  I just purchased a load of fabric from different sellers, because our craft store moved and is now 30 minutes away instead of 5. (No time for that!)   :(   I can usually find things I need for my job on ebay, and at a lower price.  I use ebates to save even more on ebay.

I have never signed up to do Ebay, but I have friends that have had success there, but I haven't been interested enough to try.

I tried selling on ebay. Never did any good. I gave it up due to not selling much.

I still buy on ebay.  The only way to make money these days is to have a unique item.  Too many clothes listed to look through hard to search sometime.

I sell stuff on Amazon but not Ebay I guess I'm just not use to the interface but over all you can still Profit if you have the right stuff to sell and no dumb customers who keeps saying it broke when it go to him/her and ask for a full on refund.

My husband started selling on ebay 6 years ago when he saw a motorcycle helmet put on for an auction made a heck of a lot more than we'd ever thought. He's been rather successful with it.  Although he spends 14-16 hours a day on there.  For what it's worth he finds it fulfilling.

Yes I both buy and sell on eBay. The thing I don't like about selling is the high percentage they charge for the final sale price of your item. And you have to be knowledgeable about the price of items you are buying to make sure you don't pay too much for an item.

I tried and was able to sell a few items I wanted to get rid of but like someone else said, the rates they charge are ridiculous.  I do occasionally buy items that I'm looking for but I've given up on the selling aspect.

I never had success selling anything. There was one time that I sold a few video games and made a good profit, but that was only one time!

I don't sell much in ebay.. But when I do, the sales usually go very fast (1-2 days) cuz I sell them a little but cheaper then what it is listed ($1-3)... The things I sell are mostly electronics and software. Usually get profit because I bought them when they had a deal at black friday

I feel like ebay have degraded into a place for cheap items from China.  Nowadays, I think you'd have better luck selling old stuff on craglist or even facebook.

Buy, yes.  Sell? Not anymore.  Too much of a hassle.

No Ebay for me. It is really outdated and needs to be modernized

I have never used ebay.  I don't trust it because people are still being cheated.
