Finances
So I tried selling 15 items on ebay. 8 sold and all most of them only sold for the starting price of $1. After paypal took their cut, I had $51.51, then it cost $48.62 to ship and ebay fees $5.29. So not only did I waste an entire morning and several hours taking photos of items and posting them.. I’ve lost a few dollars.
I’ve learned that ebay is not the way.. at least not anymore. There are pro ebay sellers out there that have changed the game. And the ebay fee structure costs more now too. *sigh*
So, I’ve had to come to a realization. I will have to give away a LOT of my stuff because ebay selling isn’t going to happen. Well, maybe with the exception of my patches because they shouldn’t cost so much to sell and I’ll try to do so in batches.. but still.
I’ve been trying to purge my childhood toys and of course I’ve discovered that a lot of my ‘collections’ were not profitable in any way. I should have spent my money buying gold. So now I’m onto other things.
At least this was God showing me that I can’t sell items, so now I can spend my time on other more profitable pursuits.
