eBayで売ること

売り手に不利な環境ですね
EbayとPaypalの手数料(13%)に、郵便局の輸送料の値上げ

本なんて、500g超えると最低でも7ドル40セントくらい

この前はHubbyが５ドルで買った本が50ドルで売れたのですけど
先の手数料に入れ物代もかかってますし。。。

コメントには本なんて売るもんじゃないといっている人もいて
本当だな～と思います。

超格安で買って高くでうれないと１０%の利益もなくて
時間と手間の無駄なことがおおいですね。

私は出品するときは、出品中　最安値にするのですが
同じ本がイギリスやアメリカからも売りにでていると
オーストラリア国内の送料がこれだけ高いと
よっぽどお得な料金で買った本でないと
たちうちできません。


....と、いいいつつも
この２００品までタダというのはぜひとも利用しなくては、です。

普通では$1.5くらいかかって
10冊出品するだけで$15になりますからね。

You forgot to add + 13% eBay/PayPal fees

You know the sad thing is, I don't know if you're joking about 13% it's become so expensive…………….
Is it really that high? I recall when it got well over 7% for the 2 combined.

Ebay is a terrible place to sell your stuff these days.

You are wide open to being rorted by people with the free no-fault-to-the-buyer returns system. So people can just try your stuff for a while and return it at YOUR expense. That's if they actually return the same item.
They actually have six months to open a claim with PayPal SIX MONTHS!!!

Then there are the fees. Lots of fees. You pay through the arse to and are exposed to big rip offs.
Ebay is shit to sell on these days. Just shit.

Neg for major problem with the company, not you OP.
I was ripped off buy the Ebay returns system when I sold my new laptop. I recommend people be very careful when selling on Ebay these days as there are numerous pitfalls. I had no protection as a seller and was royally ripped off. It is very common these days.

I didn't know it was that bad with the returns… does it matter that all my listings have had no returns specified?

Ebay blasts through and gives buyers free returns (at your expense, you pay the postage) whether you select "returns accepted" or not. Buyers can choose to do this at their whim. There is a dedicated button - "Return this item?" right next to anything you buy.

From what I've read, just putting "no returns" means that when a buyer claims the item is faulty or not as described, you're saying you may not want the item back. Because ebay protection means a buyer can return anything at the seller's expense if it's faulty or not as described.
And never forget to add tracking, or people can say they never got the item and will get a refund, when they do in fact have the item.

AND the 'reaming royale' from Ebay; if you do not reply quickly to a buyers return request or let Ebay decide the case, the buyer may well get to keep your item AND get a refund. Also very common.

You get 40 per month normally, but gee their fees and Australia posts growing post charges it's hardly worth it sometimes. Forget selling books at all. So many times I've sold things for around $30-40 to be left with $10 if that. Since eBay started favoring buyers it really has become a last resort for me now.

I hate ebay fees. 10% of your total, then Paypal takes around 3% I think. But I've been trying to sell a new item, pretty sure it's the cheapest on any site, on Gumtree and people are expecting me to lower my already low price. So I've just got this thing sitting around that no one wants. xD

The problem with the money back guarantee is that
if some dill doesn't read the item description properly

then when they get the product and don't like it and open a dispute with payapl

as a seller, you get the money taken straight out of your paypal.

I used to import mobiles from aliexpress a few a week for a couple of years

then when this stupid policy came in too many people didn't read the item description

then claimed their money back, I'm sure I was even scammed by buyers who knew
exactly what they were doing..
