questions about ebay fees, paypal fees and making money online.?

Question

1/What's the easiest way to work out where all the money's going during an ebay auction? So if you're selling, how do you keep track of how much money is going to ebay listing, final value and paypal fees etc? I can never tell how much I've actually made in selling an item. there are all the withdrawal fees from paypal, certain fees on ebay which are taken at different times (it seems that the final value fee is taken immediately, but your listing fees are charged to your bank account at some other time...). so what technique could I use? What costs should I note down, and how do I use them to work out what I've made? If you initially got the item you were selling for free, could hte fees you pay to ebay and paypal ever make you lose money, and if so, how?
2/Just a general "how to make money online" question. ideas? any wholesale things I could buy to sell on individually with £500 or under? any ideas you might have...

Answer 1

their fees are out of control now. it's hard to make a good profit. that's why everyone gouges everyone else by inflating their shipping charge

Answer 2

Hi, what kept you so long? I've been an eBay freak for years and it's just great so welcome. Ok, no you don't have to give your bank details to ebay although obviously you can set up to pay your fees by direct debit if you want. You can also pay your ebay fees as 'one-off' transactions or as a regular set up using paypal, you choose this via the 'seller account' option. With paypal themselves, I believe they need your bank account details as well as those of your card. If somebody didn't have a card, then paypal would make the payment using echeques which work ok but take forever to clear so some sellers don't like this method. My only gripe would be (and it is a tiny one) that if you want to transfer funds from your paypal account to your own bank account (i.e. if you'd sold some things) then this takes a full week to clear, as do refunds should this become necessary.

Get a free website at 110mb.com then sign up with Amazon to open a webstore and sell anything they have. Plus become an affiliate of popular products like cell phones, ringtones etc. all most anything. Just pull up a website and look at the bottom of the page for links or become an affiliate, join there affiliate program which should be free and you make commissions on stuff when folks click the link on your page and by their product. Just let the web make you money. It does take work but when you have developed a nice website submit it to Google and Yahoo so they will include your website in their search engine. I have over 20 different websites and I don't have to work for anyone else. Good Luck & Happy Trails
