Do you have any tips on how to save money when selling on ebay?

The fees for selling on ebay suck sometimes. I once put some thing for sale for a dollar and free shipping.(just to see how it would turn out) and after the fees and everything i wound up owing them money!

what are some money saving tips?!

I never use the free shipping option – all that does is raise your final value, so you end up paying a higher fee! If you add your own small fee to actual shipping costs, you can offset the costs of packaging.

Also, the better you tailor your listings toward a specific set of buyers, the higher your bids will be.

Here are a couple of articles:

    become a powerseller and save tons on listing fee as well as final sale fee. You will need to sell lots of items to become powerseller, so start with some good ebooks that you can get for free. Sell for a dollar (you wont be making much profit if any) but you will be selling alot of those fast. When you get enough positive feedback you will become powerseller. Who wouldn’t give you positive feedback when they are too happy b/c they just got something for ONE dollar!

    go to http://www.cashvilleinfos.com and read the free guide that shows you how to make money on craigslist and ebay.
    I can tell you in a short cut that I can sell an item for 99 cents at a lost of profit on ebay, but I will make hundreds dollars off of those sells later. It’s hard to explain the concept here though. Basicly you sell an ebook about some infos that you are good at (example how to play golf in 30 days) and then include a link to your website when you ship (email) the ebook (which is pdf file). Of course you provide golf related products on your website such as balls, clubs…ect…Chances are you will sell some items later when that person wanting to learn golf by buying your ebook golf guide. Now you save the ebay fees, listing fees and stuff so your webstore golf products will be cheaper than on ebay. That was just 1 method. I know tons of methods to make money online.
