I Will Never Sell On eBay Again

If you don't have a following already it is going to be very hit and miss. Items are easily missed if people are not already looking at your offerings. Especially if you are selling anything other than cards.

I get the numbers that I do because about 70% of my buyers are repeat customers. I have about 6000 people on me email list. But that is built up over 25+ years of selling on ebay.

If you were to start putting items on ebay on a regular basis, you would see better prices within 6 months as you develop a following.

I agree. I am up to 500 watchers in my eBay store, and like Scott 70% of my sales are repeat customers. The key is to keep listing new items and refresh the old listings (I wish I was better at this). The fees don't bother me. I think that when you figure the cost to set up a booth at a show it is probably a wash, and you don't have to lug around your inventory.
