Does anyone sell on ebay?

[Divia]

I was wondering if anyone sold items on ebay and if so what do you sell?

I've made some good money selling off old toys that I have collected and also old tools.

I buy on ebay too :o Mostly old photographs.

Sometimes.

I've mostly sold textbooks that I don't need anymore. Most of them cost far too much (majority are in excess of $80 :mad:) and I don't need them after the semester, so I try and make as much back as possible. It's surprising the number of people that do buy them too.

I bought used textbooks back in the day. Why pay so much money for a new one when you can get a used one cheaper. Besides, ti was my experience that I rarely used em anyway.

I tried selling a few years ago and was successful once. Now I just buy. And I've heard that they are doing their best to weed out small sellers. :confused:

I buy lots of stuff on e-bay but I don't sell. I blame it on author Katie Fforde. She joined e-bay to buy some out of production plates she wanted and told us about it on a friends' e-list where we hang out. So I went looking being nosy and ummm..... got hooked. It's great displacement activity! I've not bought many books there - just a couple. Mostly it's unusual pieces of silver jewellery (cheap) and electronics. I've just bought some great mini speakers so I can use my walkman as a music centre in the kitchen. Turns out the seller lives round the corner (literally) from where I used to live in Scotland!

Yeah, thats the rumor on the street. They want to make it more like a "store" where you can go and buy Lady and the Tramp DVD with buy it now.

I like ebay because its an auction site. I dont want to go to the "but it now" crap.

Me too Divia. Unless it's something I need that I can't get on the high street (like the dh needed new Z clips when reglazing our greenhouse and for some strange reason garden centres would rather sell scented candles than stuff to do with gardening, so we bought from an e-bay store), I'd far rather go the auction route on e-bay. I usually weed out 'buy it now' stores on my preference list.

When I have enough books of usually historical fiction type or Royalty history type then I sell. I used to do an auction every month but this year there's only been one. But I hope with the 48 book I won recently to have a good auction either this or next month.

I mostly buy, but after my mother-in-law died I started selling some of her old jewelry (not family heirlooms; she spent a lot of time at auctions and flea markets) on eBay. I've still got scads of it that I haven't got around to listing.

I used to sell stuff before we moved, and we sometimes brought stuff too! We made a bit of money from it, but not a lot!

Switching to that buy it now crap is defeating the whole purpose of eBay. Maybe Ubid will become more popular now and eBay will decline and they will have no one to blame but themselves.

[boswellbaxter]

Personally, I like Buy It Now when the price is reasonable--no worrying about being sniped. But I bid on items as well.

I Hope that someone becomes strong enough to compete with ebay. I mean they have a monopoly on th emarket and it sickening. THey can do whatever they want.
