I used to sell on eBay, but it was very time consuming for what I was selling.I would buy pre-viewed dvd's from overstock.com (10 of each usually 5 titles) when they were still selling them for a dollar, then making bundles of 4 or 5 dvd's, and selling those bundles for $20.after my ebay + paypal fees, and shipping supplies, I would have roughly $100 in profitSince the DVD's were always different, i couldn't use the same listing over and over which is the main problem. each listing would take me about an hour to properly format and get listed.---------------------Another hot item, (that was even more time consuming) was getting the leftover stock cd's and tapes for less than $0.10 per item, and selling bundles of 50 - 100 items.I would only get good money from that IF I took the time to list every cd and tape in detail. you can imagine how long that took. Using that method I could turn $10 of CD's and Tapes into $50 - $100 less fees and initial cost.--------------------Then there was the drop shipping phase. I had steady sales, but also had a very low profit margin. Mostly PC or Mac games, making $1 profit off of each title sold. Once the listing was setup, it could be used over and over until the supplier ran out. It was always risky (I never had a single problem with the company though compgallery.com), because I never saw the actual item, but it was easy. you really need an eBay store to make money off of those though.I always made sure that I answered every email in a timley manner, and packaged the items very carefully. I handled it as if i were shipping it to a good friend. My feedback rating was near perfect except for a guy that tried to scam me, and an item that i forgot that I had purchased back in 2001 hahaha.I stopped though because of time constraints. It was a lot of fun though. Now I just sign up for the free sites lol Freeipod.com Freebenjamins.com etc. but I will return to eBay one day.
