I primarily sell retro video games such as Atari, Colecovision, Intellivision, up to the NES. Ebay has increased their fees quite a bit over the years, but when I'm paying 50 cents for a 30 year old game at the flea market and selling it for 40 dollars on Ebay I'm still happy. If you need to know the rarity or worth of video games go to digitpress or Atariage for the rarity of 2600,5200, and Atari 7800 games. The biggest turnaround I ever made was when I bought an extremely rare game for 50 cents and then sold it for 237.00. Thrift stores, flea markets, and yard sales can yield treasures.

Adam is right -- Ebay isn't bad if you know what you're selling. You can work around ebay fees when you buy your resell stock so long as you do the math ahead of time. I ran an excel document that told me what I needed to sell my stuff at (therefore telling me where I was buying) before I ever even bought the thing in the first place.

I have sold anything from Nascar Collectibles and sport cards on Ebay over the years. But i have not
done it in a while.

I have bought but never sold. Im actually thinking of having a good old tag sale sometime this spring.

I shop on ebay.....a friend of mine took early retirement for personal reasons....she now sells on ebay and likes it....

Ebay is a great way to find something you have been searching for or sell something you want to get rid of. Sometimes they run offers from time to time where you want have to pay anything to list only when you sell. You can make money there if you know what to do. Best Wishes. I like ebay and have been using it for a long time.

Not yet but I plan to start flipping earrings soon and my daughter recently asked me if she could sell her Nook on ebay.

I've sold a few things on ebay, mostly duplicate stamps. I haven't really made a profit, but I didn't expect to anyway, I was just getting rid of stuff I didn't want. But now I mostly list my stuff on Listia, because there are no fees.

I have done well selling things on ebay. Would be even better if it wasn't for the ebay fees, like insertion fees, final value fees, and final values fees on shipping!!! Course, its always hard to please everybody to maintain 100% positive feedback. I had somebody leave negative feedback based on a pair of jeans they purchased that had all the new tags on it, they complained the jeans weren't really stretch which is what the tags all said on it. Kinda joke!

I have a Facebook group that i sell our stuff on. I just bought something from easy and ebay but not sure how to sell on it. But Facebook is free and its easy! We all have a weekly meet that we meet at and exchange our things. I know most of the people i sell to but if not u can always make a papal account and ship it!

Ebay must be losing quite a few people because I noticed that they are now offering free listings for a specific amount of time and/or for a specific quantity of items. I think last in May, the quantity was around 100 items(Don't remember).
I used to sell a lot on eBay, but I also bought more than I sold. Usually I sold office and transcription equipment, garden tractors, and once-in-a-while, hubby would restore backhoes or other construction equipment, which we would sell. I did make quite a bit of money back then but haven't sold anything lately, not that I didn't try. It just seems like since the recession, people aren't that eagar to buy stuff unless it's brand new.

The trouble with trying to sell stuff on ebay for profit, is that they cater too much to buyers, and don't have enough protection for sellers. They need to have a better dispute system, because there are way too many scammers out there, that rip the sellers off, by claiming item not as described, etc, just to get free stuff. Also, Paypal and the credit card companies make it way too easy for buyers to do chargebacks.

Many years ago I sold all my old concert t-shirts. I made a decent amount of money on stuff I had been getting ready to donate. Depends on what you are selling, a lot of the stuff isn't worth the effort for me.

My husband sold on ebay regularly over a year ago. I can see how ebay is so successful. He was selling...all the time. But the fee's that ebay was charging brought his profit down. Really down. He stopped doing it because paying ebay off monthly became a part of the budget. After he would spend hours learning the in's and outs of it...they would change something...about every 30 days on average that affected the category he specialized in. A word of advice. Only post when the have penny or free listing days. Otherwise it can eat up your time and money rather make any.

I've never sold nor bought anything on Ebay. Years ago I thought about trying to sell some stuff on there but I didn't find the site very user-friendly. Maybe I'll look at it again one day in the future because I do understand a lot of people use the site. I've gotten a little more computer savy so maybe it would seem easier to do now.

I've bought a few things from Ebay, but I've never sold anything on there. I use Amazon to sell my books because the fees are lower.
-
I have tried selling stuff on ebay to get rid of things I no longer need. I actually made some money on it. A person can make extra cash by selling on ebay.
-
I have done it, but no luck.
-
I used to buy from E bay alot even tried to sell some but mostly cost more than I earned that now I do Amazon mostly and a couple of the face book sites
-
I've been thinking about selling on ebay, but right now I don't have the time because I have some other things going on right now.
-
I haven't sold things on ebay but I've heard that you can make some serious money doing it. One person suggested going to your local clothing store when there are sales or clearance items and getting things at a discounted price, then selling them on ebay for a little profit. That or set up like a block party account and sell your neighbors items for them.
-
I've sold over 30 items on ebay, but because my items weren't very popular and I didn't have much to sell it took me about 18 months to do so. I believe Ebay is a viable way to make money depending on what you sell, but I have yet to have a real business from it because I don't have much to invest in a business. It's fun though and I'd like to more of it in the future.

I sell jewelry to raise money for Oklahoma tornado victims.
I plan to write a check for Moore Schools (the city that had two schools destroyed in the May tornadoes) next month.

I've questioned it myself with some antique pink depression dishes I have. My question is how to determine the postage of mailing the items to the buyer. I want included in the price.
-
I have sold some things on ebay and also bought some things. I think money is pretty tight now, so people are really picky as to what they buy!

I have not yet started, but I hear people tell fantastic stories about selling stuff on Ebay...Looks like I will have to give it a try....
