Hey hunters — one of our most asked questions: is selling on eBay worth it? Maybe. It depends on how much time and effort you want to spend.
In the pictured example: we paid $0.25 at a garage sale for this cute Piggie. Shipping supplies were about $0.19, so our cost was $0.44 — for us, that’s a win. But if you paid $1 and spent 10 minutes measuring and prepping, profits shrink fast.
Decide your target margins up front so you don’t get hit by surprise fees. How much time should you spend for around $5 profit? Have you considered your direction?
