    How would one person or maybe a hundred be able to answer for all ?

    I do make a profit, but not during December and up the 12th night of Christmas.

    If I sell all my stock at
    65% which I am advertising now I may just break even.

    Welcome to ebid April.

    Hello April & welcome! Yes, I make money here. Not a huge amount but with no risks as there are no listing fees.

    You need

    http://www.mootango.webspace.virginmedia.com/ebidkb.htm

    Before you get any more items listed, open at least one store (you've paid for the right to open 5) and put your items into it. Then complete your all about page - buyers prefer it - The picture is a good start.

    & Yarnalong for craft patterns
    and
    Lotzabitz -anything that doesn't belong in one of the other shops.

    Welcome to eBid - the friendly site.
    Answer 1. - Yes
    Answer 2 - Yes.

    You need to read the posts and the threads given to you to learn how to make eBid work for you.
    It is different to The Dark Side, and you need to approach things differently.

    Good luck with your future sales.

    Yes, I agree that it is different here and an adjusted approach is necessary.

    Also ... and I don't mean this in a negative way. Just for information. There is an announcement at the beginning of the "Plug Your Auction" section that outlines the regulations for the plugs.

    Only one thread at a time. The thread can only be bumped once per 24 hour period. If a person puts a conversational type thread in the plugs and other people respond inadvertently, that counts as a bump and your thread may be pulled if the bumps are noticed or reported.

    You can delete or lock your plug threads by going into the thread and then clicking on administrative. (Can also move threads there if you discover that your thread is in the wrong section.)

    Edited to Add .... It doesn't hurt to offer international shipping, even if it seems expensive. If you don't offer items to other countries, then people in those countries can't see your listings easily. They must change the country url to have a look.
