    Ive started a small venture on ebay buying bulk lots mainly make up. I get them for around 30p each and sell them for around £1.40 free P+P hoping to make about a pound on each one. My items are selling (at least one everyday )and I am the cheapest on ebay atm with 100% feedback but the problem is the fees are a complete fucking joke. 10% ebay sale fee 40p listing fee for bulk listing and then 25p paypal fee wiping my profit margins down to around 30p for each item I sell.

    Would it be better to find higher selling items and sell them? Or do you think I should carry on with that sort of profit margin? I may charge for postage to cut down on the fees. Any thoughts? I'd have to sell 100 items a month just to make £30 which sucks.

    Hey mate! This thread is for the Affiliate Program with Ebay not for getting help with Ebay. I wish DP had a EBAY HELP area but I do not believe that they do. :(
