What margins do you look for on eBay?

[TermedPS]

I've always wondered, what's the typical markup you look for when deciding what to sell?

Given the recent fee changes, we usually look for products with at least 100% markup. After eBay, PP and other costs, we usually end up with about 70% profit.

Just curious what others are doing.

I look for 100% or more and an easy sell, sometimes youve got to pad out account with lower margin goods to help out the ones that really sell well...

[sowhat]

Yeah, I agree with oompa, you would be surprised at how the lower margin goods can still add up to nice profits when your not even trying.

Anything over 200% for profit

Wow! I am happy if I can get 20% after Ebay and PayPal fees. But my items are $500-$3500+.

if I'm buying legit stuff i look for 55-100% I will go less then 55% but i have to be able to sell in a high volume to make it worth my time.

if i'm selling vero or something i am risking.. like 100-200%

Hey, I'll take 20% of 3500 any day

I hope you're not selling those chinese " macbooks" ! haha:D

Nope, I don't have enough tech knowledge for that. 70+ per cent of my stuff is $900-$1800 though...I don't have more than 10% in 3500+, but I do sometimes and usually make around 10-15% on those.
BTW, I don't sell anything Chinese.
