What he said. Between PayPal/merchant accounts, eBay fees, auction software, ect. the margains just aren't there. I'm sure there are a few items that can make it, but even when we were working with 20% profit margains on items we couldn't make much of a profit after all the fees.

If you have any questions hit me up on ICQ... I'll get into greater detail there.
