Good luck with your eBay journey. I started out using ebay about 5 years ago using their classified ad listing selling ebooks but they kept getting flagged because users didn't understand the classified add concept. I got frustrated and gave up. I hope you have better success.

Hey everyone!

Sorry I haven't updated in the past couple of days. As always, thank you for your comments and encouragement! Sadly, this method has me slightly discouraged but I'm sticking to it. I'm seeing recurring sales of specific items, which I'm not complaining about. However, only selling 3/94 products is a bit depressing. Just saturated markets I suppose. I will continue to update with my findings! After I gain enough knowledge I will write a detailed guide of what I'm doing, step by step. Profits have been small, but profit none the less!

Day 5-Today


94 Items listed
1 sale
_______________
Profit: 2.57

New tip of the day:

Drop shipping from Amazon has proven to be slightly difficult. Sold two items today only to check amazon and realize they had both significantly jumped in price. After some research, it appears as though this is common on Amazon. Lost two sales, had to refund the money. Will update again in a few hours if I make any more sales.

Day 9

_______________
Profit: 3.52


I have been continuously listing new items as others expire, I have not gotten lazy. It just so happens to stay in the 90 item range because of my selling limits.

I have tried this and found it just doesnt work due to the amazon price changes. It seems that most items that you can make a decent profit on amazon changes the price frequently. Plus, a lot of other people attempt to do this, and the price keeps getting undercut until there is little profit.

Hello everyone!

Sorry I have not updated. Over the past several days I sold 7 items, but FIVE had jumped in price on Amazon, rendering them unprofitable. I will probably retire this method after my listings are all ended because it is not very profitable for the amount of time that has to be put in. Maybe on a larger scale it would work more efficiently, but Amazon price jumps have been killing my sales. I've made around $30 so it did not completely go to waste, but it was definitely not what I was looking for. Thank you everyone for your support and comments.

Hello and good luck with your sales, I have a question - what is your ranking ? Do you SEO ? also very important for me is what is your item price range ? I have tested with electronics with average 300-500$ for item and I have no single sale.
