WHAT DO YOU GET OUT OF IT AS AUCTION SELLER?
As an Auction seller who is running a full or part time Auction selling business via eBay you have to put a lot of work, your own cash & many working hours into your Auction business.
Not only do you put long hours into running your Auction business you put a lot of time into making sure your website or Auction store looks professional, or you pay someone to do this for you.
Not only will you not make a decent wage for your efforts, you will be giving money to eBay for hosting your store, to your webspace provider for your website, which you then hope brings people to your store.
After doing all this you also have to buy in and source the products you sell at the best possible prices, package these products after you sell them, then get them posted out to your customers.
Basically you are working for peanuts for eBay, not only do you fund the goods you are selling. You deal with customer problems or questions. You pay eBay if you have a eBay store. You pay eBay if you make a sale.
You pay if you have a seperate website displaying your products. You spend time to pack and post the products to the customers, finally you hope you get good feedback from your customers.
