With the fees, How do people make money on ebay and amazon?

Posted by admin on Mar 11, 2010 under make money

I was trying to sell a new psp on amazon for $195 and the money they wanted for their commision was $31. That is just ridiculous. $30 was the amount of money i was planning to make as profit and it will all go to them. On ebay its a little better but ill only make like $5 for it. My question is, are all the sellers (especially on Amazon) making this little from the items they sell?

Some sellers sell hot items and make only $10-$20 per item but sell a lot of items every day. Others only sell a few low-demand items each week but make a lot on each.

You need to find items cheaper or more of them, preferably both.

    Hi,

    The fact that you can make money on eBay is indisputable. With millions of visitors each day with everything from cars to children’s toys selling to the highest bidder, eBay is certainly one of the great successes of the internet. But how much can you really make selling on eBay?

    Ebay sellers fall into two types; those who sell their various household items that they no longer need, and those who buy goods to sell on. There are some people who do a bit of both. But what if you are looking to make a substantial profit selling on Ebay? Clearly selling your own unwanted household items is a good place to start and this certainly bring in some money without having to spend anything in the first place. However, at some point you will simply run out of things to sell. At this point, you will need to consider re-investing your profits into purchasing items to re-sell.

    I am a Silver eBay Power Seller. My margin of profit is much much higher on my items. I deal primarily in antiques but have sold everything from high end audio equipment to dental equipment. When selling online it is very important to run the numbers before listing an item. How much will eBay take, how much will Paypal take and how much time will it take and how much do I have invested in my item. For items like yours it could be better to just list on a site like craigslist.com where there is no fee. The market is much smaller but you can compensate by lowering your price because there are no fees.
