Modern eBay sucks for sellers unless you are using it to liquidate inventory or sell in HUGE volumes. I ran an eBay business selling toys & collectibles from 97-2004 and things were good for awhile. I also worked at an online electronics warehouse that grossed about 20 million a year and they closed in 2005 because margains were too low.
My point is that anymore eBay is too saturated for people to make decent money. I wouldn't waste my time running an eBay business anymore. Paypal is 2%-5%, eBay fees can be anywhere from 6%-15% depending on listing fees... just doesn't make any sense.
eBay customers are also tough to deal with because they are bargain shoppers and want everything NOW. Tracking numbers NOW, the package here TOMORROW, they always want you to "rush".... just not worth unless you are working with the few high margain items out there.
With that said, though, my uncle owns a GM Dealership and sells a few cars a week on eBay and does very well with it.
