Default Re: Ebay sellers.... lets help each other out.

I usually use FedEx for US shipping for a couple of reasons. One is there prices are decent and the other is that I set everything up online at my house then drop it off at the local office.

I use USPS for shipping to Canada. They are much easier than FedEx. I hear too many horror stories about UPS.

I used eBay last month. A couple of items I had a reserve and they didn't sell. So between insertion fees, reserve fees, selling fees and PayPal....I didn't make much. It's out of hand in my opinion.

I had a reserve so I don't take a bath on some items and it just killed me in the end.

So I went back to Craigslist, forums and word of mouth and it seems to be working.....so far.

I don't even want to get into other sellers. I've had items that where the description wasn’t even close to what they had and the way some people package items is pathetic.
