I've sold quite a bit over eBay in the last week, clearing out lots of junk I have lying around - its such a good idea.

I am however annoyed at the big cuts that eBay take, around 3% of the final auction fee and 3% of the paypal fee. Easy money for them!

Saying that, I wouldn't end up selling half the stuff I do if it wasn't so easy!

Add 10% to the sale price and you cover expences.

Haven't a clue on the song

nah but Admin, when u sell by Cheque ebay do not take anything, so its a bit more dodgy but u save yourself some money it all depends on how much u r selling your goods for.

if its a low price 2-3% is not a lot, but its its a high price it will add up!
ive sold by paypal and cheque before, always been careful with cheques though!:_)


but u cant beat Ebay such a wonderful idea!

HA ha ha ha mucks after listening to that i just had to comment, that was fantastic definitley in the wierd al yankovich styleee...

I know i have a few things lying around that i purchased on ebay, but don't use the site half as often as i used to, too many non payers, liars and unreliables to deal with, (got on my tit's) is the polite way to express my opinion of most of em......

I've bought a few things, but never sold anything on Ebay.

Might just try selling this Nvidia FX5700 Ultra Arctic cooler on there though, I ain't got a lot to lose really....

Looking around, I gotta loadda crap I could try on there, really, it just hadn't occurred to me before. First twenty issues of Kerrang magazine, anyone?
