Well I've ditched the free listings over there.

[DZAMBO]

So…according to you I have my account in other site in only couple backs months or the last year or two….
And as I can see you count your sales on eBid in whole time not only in the last couple months…

But for other ‘’like me’’ you just count only in way which suits you….

So...this time I will post you ‘’ record’’ once for all where anyone can see and no big deal if anyone interested or not…or it will be deleted…because if you can post record which only suits you and I will post my which is not hiding anything not even after 75 days anyone can see selling price….and I not have ‘’zillion’’ items listed to reach that sales…no keywords…no spending ‘’zillion’ own private hours online….

Here we go….my friend ‘’Dean’’….

5 years….2 months…and 11 days….TOTAL:1,896 days…

Total sales: $11,806.74

Average sales daily in the past 1,896 days doesn’t matter if I sold something or nothing…average daily: $6.22

And that ‘’anyone’’ can see…..without yours ‘’coaching’’….

Well...after all I still think you’re one good English gentleman but all my ‘’officially’’ record can’t be ‘’erased’’ or hidden…this is how it is it…

And by the way anytime I can list only ‘’one’’ extra’’ item from which will be sold and it will be enough to cover all one year fees…BUT if I do that you will not have nothing to write about me….and that’s not good…I like to keep you busy……....

P.S. And one more ‘’hint’’ for you for about in here and again I say my opinion you say yours,. Fair enough….and how it is for real you can see for yourself on average for all, doesn’t matter what Dzambo say or write or Dean say or write….so...let’s get over with…

[DZAMBO]

I like that analogy!

I'll have a healthy NETT Profit too!

‘’Pink’’ I ‘’think’’ is all about ‘’keywords’’…
Just set it in right way and you will have ‘’bunch of sales’’…
Just ask all peoples in here who do that….....I mean ''all''....

Well I am not going to quote all of that...........


Dzambo.

Just going back 5 years and looking at those products sold - let me give you one example.

$350 dollar item sold.
New product - gaming console.
The good thing with those products is they have a retail and wholesale price timeline - so it is easy to check back. Your profit on that would have been about $0. If you had made any money you would have bought and sold more - you didn't because it didn't make you any money and it probably lost you money. Likewise with all the other new products from that time.

Quite why you are trying to counter claim your losses with sales from 5 years ago anyway is completely incomprehensible.


So I will repeat:

An ebay seller with a performance like this:

Sept: Sales $2.00 - Shop cost $19.95
Aug: Sales $0.00 - Shop cost $19.95
Jul: Sales $30.00 - Shop cost $19.95
Jun: Sales $6.00 - Shop cost $19.95
May: Sales $3.00 - Shop cost $19.95

All of the items sold are new - so the cost of the item will be needed to be taken out of the sale price, + FVF + Paypal charges. So considering all that even Jul would have resulted in a loss to go along with all the other whopping great losses.

Similar pattern over the last year = loss

An ebay loss making seller coming on here telling people on eBid that their items are not worth listing. Talking about profits and sales when you clearly don't have much idea of either is pretty rich????

[deanosaur1972]

I can never ever make a loss on ebid!

I got a seller plus for £49.

I learnt the ropes and sold some stuff and recouped my investment.

I got my pension today and as usual I toured my local charity shops.

I found some great and unusual pyrex that cost me £5.

I will list it at a very competitive £15. (yes I checked sales elsewhere)

I also found a Royal Albert Trio for an unbelievable £1.
I will list this around the £6.00 mark which is well below the asking price (even on ebid!)

I tour the charity shops every pension day and more often than not find similar bargains.
I like the buzz of the searching, the listing and the selling.

I don't need to make a living, any money I can make goes towards my fishing!
<gotta sell more >

It's well worth my time to be on ebid; to sell, to comment and to laugh on the forums.

< I bet he still hasn't cleaned behind the fridge! >

That is a perfectly competent and logical way to make a few quid. Competitive with a profit, low investment and no overhead costs.

I'm so glad it is not just me. I realise he is working in a second language but it is English, Jim, but not as we know it.

Ahah, I think I can see a business opportunity! I must try auctioning some of the 300MHz boxes I still have around!
