I always try to maintain 100& profit, before expenses, i.e. Double your money-then back out ebay/pp fees, other cost of sales expenses, so mine is prob, av. 70-82%

When we were power selling we didnt look at profit per item per say, we looked at daily profits from buy it nows and ending items. We liked to double our money but looked at the chart for daily profits.
Many times we would sell 75-100 items per day with buy it now and would have a large group of items ending every day of the week.
So for us, it was daily profits and monthly total profits we looked at because we knew if we sold xx amount we would make xx per day and per month.
wow, i have diff. standards i dont sell anything that i cant make $200.00 profit off of after all fess or 500% profit, my items i usually make anywhere between 300.00-500.00 profit easily.
Those profit Margins are way out of my League..I'm always happy buying something for $20 + selling for $39.95..Guess that's why I gotta work harder? I average 16 hrs/day..6 days wk.

i usually dont sell anything unless i think i can get at least 40-50% profit of it as a minimum. particular items i get for around $40, usually i can sell them at $250-400 no problems. really depends on what your selling, the amount of work you do etc.
if you have a decent account with about 50 feedback and a paypal account, you know how much money i can make on it in one day?
the sky's the limit, but the thing is you can NOT get greedy, for ex. if your making $2000.00 profit a day and you get greedy which by the way most people do get greedy they double their auctions and 80% of the time something goes wrong and they loose everything.
