Is Your Item Worth Selling?
Every eBay seller has had to decide this on a regular basis- is this item really worth selling? To really make that determination, you have to factor in not selling the item. If you have to list it two or three times, is it still a decent profit? If you have extra pictures, any listing upgrades, etc., it might not be worth it to list an item more than once.
Also consider the selling price vs. the fees that you will pay. There aren’t just listing fees- you will owe PayPal fees for the selling price PLUS the shipping price PLUS a flat .30. You may also need to pay for shipping supplies like mailers or bubble wrap. Is it still a profit? Then factor in the time it takes to package and mail the ite. I have items that take me a minute or two and I have had items that took over an hour. When you factor in your time, is it still worth it? If so, list that sucker! If not, there may be other, far better items that you could be listing for a better return on your investment of time and money.
