I&#8217;ve been a member since 2010, but  I have definitely purchased more items than I have sold over the past nine years. The cost of shipping and the percentage that Ebay takes has made it harder to make money. I&#8217;m trying it again only because I have the time to do it now. What I&#8217;d really like to do is find an item that sells well and specialize only in that type of item. There are some things that just don&#8217;t sell. Books, jewelry, and figurines are hard to sell, unless they are rare or valuable. For hand made or vintage items, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.etsy.com\/\">Etsy<\/a> is the best website. The challenge is to find an item that someone else isn&#8217;t already selling for less. American coins are a good example of a sell-able item because they are small for shipping, and the value is easy to determine. Unfortunately, there are a lot of people selling coins on Ebay. Once you find the perfect item, you need a reliable source and a whole sale price to make it work.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I recently started posting items for sale on Ebay again.
