ebay charges a % of what you make on shipping. Also if you one day or same day handling setting, then you qualify for fast and free, which bumps you higher in ebays search algorithm.
Thanks for the fast and free info. Good to know. I have sold over a hundred dollars worth of stuff in six auctions. If I would have thrown the stuff away I wouldn't have missed any of it. As a scrapper NUTHIN gets thrown away though. I am using this as an experiment. I am home with the kids for the major portion of the day so I am limited as to what I can really do. I had two major health issues last year. Found out I was diabetic and almost died. Took months to feel right. So now here I am adjusting to a new role as a stay at home Dad. Really strange. It is like learning a new skill I have no experience in. Coming home from work Dad's have a different set of responsibilities than a Dad that is home all day. Being a contractor I dealt with immature grown men and idiot customers. Now I deal with needs of my kids and at three Declan is a full time project. I love being home with the kids and my wife makes good money we are not hurting at all.
I am more focused on wanting what I have today than getting ahead. I had a life altering experience when I got sick. Life is just not them same better and different but not the same.
I am still scrapping and will forever. I am trying to see if Ebay as a reseller is an option. It is something I can do from home. And when those auctions close I get excited like a kid. I am testing the waters. It is at the hobby stage now. I can't see how I can't make good money t it in the future though. The learning curve is something to overcome, but hey before I came to this forum I didn't have a clue what a Tantalum cap was now I see them from across the room, LOL.
Anyway thank you guys. I feel like this forum is my new bar being sober 8 years. It is where I hang out. You guys are my friends. We think alike. I enjoy the conversations even if they are in threads.
