| jaddow said: Bought a Xbox one from Walmart for $529 solely on eBay for $680 with free shipping. I paid eBay $68 thats 10 percent off the sale. paid PayPal $19.84 thats 3% transaction charge. The Xbox one weighs 17 pounds in the box it cost me $44 for shipping and handling. I made less than $6 on the transaction so how is it people are selling them for $570 on average sale on eBay today and making money? http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sacat=0&_from=R40&_nkw=xbox+one+console&_sop=1
EBay is making more money than Microsoft or Sony on Xbox one or even PlayStation 4 sales |
First and foremost, stop paying for shipping. Its ridiculous, especially since ebay this past year increased their take from 5% to 10%
In addition to that they take a cut of what you get in the shipping charge, so add a handling charge, the shipping should be calculated so what you pay is what they pay, second, if you can't make more than that, you are wasting your time, if you made $6 dollars and it took you atleast an hour to get it all packaged up and shipped out, the price of gas back and forth and your time, thats a loss or atleast below minimum wage for your time.
