Since it first launched, there have been many people who claim to make money selling on eBay. Enough money in fact, that they do not have to do anything other than promote their goods on eBay. However, there are many people that think that this is no longer possible and that it is actually very difficult to make money selling on eBay.
One of the reasons for this is, as eBay has evolved and gotten more popular, more and more fees have started to appear on the site. However, if you wanted to save some money, you could sign up for a basic account with no bells and whistles. This is straight forward and only charges the basic commission on your goods sold.
The catch is that there is a lot of competition on eBay now. Because of these they have offered tools and techniques to help promote your personal account. Every little tool and technique comes with a price. Add this price with the increasing percentage that is taken out by eBay on the sold goods and some people are saying that they are hard pressed to have a real profit that remains.
Adding to this dwindling profit are the fees that are added on by the payment services like PayPal. What profit is left after the eBay percentage and the extra fees for the bells and whistles just to get customers, is often gobbled up by the PayPal fees.
There are ways to make money selling on eBay but it just seems that it is not the marvelous cash fall that it was when it was first created. But keep your eyes open; this because of this phenomenon, eBay now has plenty of competition, which offers you the similar kind of opportunity as selling on eBay does and that too, without the hefty fees.
