Buyers now can pick and choose from whose items they bid. <br /><br />The eBay climate is definitely not like it was during eBay's infancy (1998-2001 when I first began seriously selling there on commission for someone. Those were the days. <br /><br />I sold a transformer toy for $800 and a case of vintage baseballs for $500. The person for whom I was selling had multiples of the transformer toy (the name of it escapes me now--just remembered Optimus Prime), and I sold those multiples on eBay for around $800 each. <br /><br />I sold so much stuff on eBay (mostly dolls, but a variety of other things) that this person was able to pay $10,000 cash for an SUV with her eBay earnings. Mine weren't too shabby either, but in hindsight (I did all the work and my commission fee was way too low.)<br /><br />dbgBlack Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-50584374276409348242015-09-04T13:13:09.441-05:002015-09-04T13:13:09.441-05:00Thanks so much for discussing you're eBay expe...Thanks so much for discussing you're eBay experiences. Based on what you said I'm going to sell my non doll stuff on eBay first. Since I do like going to the doll shows I'll sell my doll goods in person and see how it goes. I'd rather sell in person so I don't have to hassle with shipping and whatnot. Between eBay/PayPal and vendor show fees, it pretty much evens out.

So I sell there online solely whenever I decide to part with something. I have a unpublished tab on my blog for sale items, but have not taken the time to list anything there. This is on my to-do list.<br /><br />To avoid eBay's insertion fees, I try to utilize the 20 free listings eBay offers a month and sometimes they offer specials such as "list 70 more items for free or list 500 items this weekend for free." Whenever I reach the maximum of free listings, I wait until the next month to list new things or relist things that did not sell in the previous month.<br /><br />I also have recently begun using their 30-day fixed price auction feature, which is essentially a buy-it-now but the listing remains online longer than the usual 7 days. These things might stay on eBay "forever," but I don't have to go through the relisting as often and have the relisting counted against my free listings. <br /><br />I don't think I would utilize eBay as a sole sales avenue if I were a die-hard doll dealer or seller of other things.<br /><br />BTW, I listed those NFL jerseys for my husband who told me to donate them to the thrift store. After I checked eBay and saw they would sell, I told him I'd list them for him for a percentage of the selling price. Hey -- it took time to photograph each one, write the descriptions, and when they sell, it takes time to package them up, print postage, and take the packages to the PO, so I need to be paid. Plus he has to absorb any eBay and Paypal fees. <br /><br />I sure wish those jerseys would fit playscale dolls. Trust me, I tried.<br /><br />dbg<br /><br /><br /><br />Black Doll Enthusiasthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07534871309015210903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6047557606653771556.post-35384003155699084892015-09-04T11:26:22.723-05:002015-09-04T11:26:22.723-05:00You're welcome, Arlette!

I was very nosy and looked at everything you have for sale.<br /><br />I was going to sell on eBay but the prices they charge seem to have doubled from when I used them back in 2007. Are you happy with them or you sell on multiple sites?<br /><br />Wanna Be Doctor actually reminds me of old time barbers. Back in my day barbers wore similar uniforms to doctors.
