I use ebay and fiverr both. Fiverr is the best, no stress nothing whatsoever.

I dropship there, but I only buy on Amazon. I'm also an Amazon affiliate so I make $$$ both ways.

I was the 1st Tampa Bay area car dealer to sell cars on eBay back in 1999. Sure was fun back then. I was auctioning this Rolls and TV8 came out and did a story for the 6:00 news. (cant post the url but it's on my sites about page)

Tiz a shame what eBay has became since then..

It was really fun back then when they didn't tax shipping.
Now there are ebay fees even on the shipping amounts.

I gave up my full time job few months back - combined revenue from amazon and ebay is currently 85k usd per month and I started from the bottom 4 years back

Good luck! Its very simple to be honest!

Well, eBay fees cost me about $80 on each $500 sales. But wait, after they fcuk you you must swallow the horrendous PayPal (eBay's brother) fees as well. So, you must be selling your product at a 40% profit to even make any money as 20%+ go to eBay and PayPals parent company. Just my 2 cent - or 2 euro in eBay's case!

Its pretty risky, must suck to get banned when using eBay for main income.

Ebay's rise in fees has stopped a lot of people including me, Amazon is better in respect that you dont pay to list only when it sells.

The fees don't phase me because unless you're selling like dollar tree products then it might be a problem. I like to use the Good 'til Canceled option instead of 30 days. That way it shows the buyer stats as long as you don't run out which attracts people to buy them, especially if you have 2 or 3 left in stock.
