Default Ebay

We have put some harnesses and dresses on ebay for the furbabies....and the first three sold quickly - but not at very good prices - and one of them complained that the sizing was wrong (although the sizing matched what I posted) and I ended up having to custom make something at the low price. Then I put up three more...and none of them sold. So in the end - we made about $10 after all the ebay fees.....and it was not worth it.

We are told all the time to try again and maybe we will this fall. I buy lots of things off ebay stores and have never had a problem from the purchasing side.

One suggestion....whatever you decide to make and sell on ebay - I would spend some time watching similar items and what they are selling for. I found that there are several people that sell harness all the time (with leashes) for a buy now price of $9.99.....and I am not sure how they are making any money after all the ebay and paypal fees!!

Good luck in your ebay business!!
