I just sold a wii on ebay it sold for $316.00 and I charged $34.99 for S&H for a total of $351.00.

What's crazy is for this one auction ebay charged me $11.79 in fees.:mad:

I just got the payment from paypal, and they charged me $10.80 to recieve the money.:mad:

I'm guessing with insurance my S&H costs will be around $12-$15 bucks.

The console costed me $270.00 with taxes. Which means i'll make around $45 in profit, I guess that's not bad for me just happening to be at wal-mart when they brought some out.... but still the fees are crazy.

Well i didn't have to wait in line at wal-mart I was checking out some stuff in electronics and they brought out a pallet and I got one, and it took me like 5 minutes to list it on eBay, so I would definitely do it again if it occurred but not something I'll go out of my way to do again...

I do wonder about folks that claim to make a healthy living off e-bay - the fees must be thousands a year.

There are ebay stores, and it wouldn't surprise me if those people got to sell at a discounted rate.
