What do you consider a good profit>?

$5 with fees and freight and time is hardly a profit

If my limit was higher I would lower the price but I can only sell 10 so Im trying to get the most. Also, eBay is full of the same item for $20-$30 so you don't always need to be the cheapest.

That's amazing. I need to learn more.

Right now I can make 1000% profit on some dollar store items. Problem is I only sell a couple a month. But at least I don't purchase them until I sell them.

Other bigger items I aim for 30-50% profit. My problem here though is that I only purchase deals I find online, etc. So I buy a couple, then need to find a different deal. I need to find something more reliable.

I try to only sell high volume items. Profit is about 20% but they sure move fast.

^^^^that's what I'm talkin about. Except my BIN is 3X. I'll keep saying it, "thanks to all of you." So far almost 2 mos and I am doing better than ever. Really sweating though trying to see what happens around 90 days. I have 3 steal. 1 mos., 2 mos., and 1 week.

Agreed unless you are using it to build feedback or sell 1000s a month of these types of items and toss them into a bubble pack.

Cellphone Cables, adapters usually yield that type of return. Usually $1 per cable, and if you try to get them to buy combos of 3-5-10 sometimes 1.20 per cable since they are combined into one shipping cost. The good thing about them is they move fast. If your price is right, and ebay doesn't bother you with VERO, you might end up with 30-40 sales everyday at $10-$20 average sell. It'll be mostly gross income, but it'll keep you busy, build up some feedback, and give you an ok return. 1000 Cables at $1/each, will turn into $2000 give or take.

I sell only ebay motors. No 21 day holds ever for new accounts. Limits tend to be higher at start.

I sell 3 different items. Buy each for 25.00 shipped to me. Usualky buy about 40 at a time and sell for 165.00 for each item by itself Usually 2,500 weekly after ebay fees. And all my buyers pay with ccnow. Tell them il give them free shipling and knock off 20.00 from price. Sure im losing money. But my profit margain is so high il loose like 35.00 each sale with ccnow fees and discount i give. Cause i knowil get my money no drama like clockwork with ccnow. Still making like 600% profit per item.
