Not inflated at all bro. I had another pair of Burberry boots end at 45. They got me for both items with the $5 charge. And if you look up USPS Priority Mail large boxes its 16.85 to ship (look it up!!). The shoes in box weighed 2lbs 14oz.
Trust me, I paid that much! Not bragging about it just not happy and won't continue the eBay route.

Why are you paying anything for shipping? The buyer covers the cost of shipping. If you chose to eat the costs of shipping you fukked up.
I only use flat rate through USPS for shipping because its by far the most convenient way of doing things. If people don't want to pay the flat rate cost, I don't sell to them.Remember, no Russian.

Yep. In my experience it takes trial and error. Dont initially order bulk quantities. It may cost more per unit but order fewer amount (less than 10) of items first to see the quality. I have ordered probably 20 different items and decided to bulk buy 3 or 4 of those to sell.
Edit: oh and wait for the feedback. You may thing you have a winner but get some bad feedback from the buyers.Last edited by wowz; 04-11-2013 at 06:08 AM.

yea, i'm in canada. i never use UPS because of the duty fees. i bought a $60 video card once that was shipped UPS. they wanted $62 in "duty" for the delivery on top of the $20 in shipping that I had already paid (took 5 weeks to arrive).
i usually have my items shipped to an american address just over the border but i couldn't do it this time because my passport had expired. This was the first time that i used fedex to ship in to canada. never again.

you guys that have extra cash and work from home...call your local scrap yards and see whats the price their offering on cars...i know my local yard is offering .13/lb for a car...
1. craigslist
2. find cheap car
3. have AAA tow it back to your house
4. remove catalytic converter and anything else you can (ie converter because it has copper). if the cat is good, should get an extra $75 on it. copper pricing is usually $2-$3/lb
5. call 2nd towing agency
6. take car to yard
7. collect cash
8. repeat 1-7

In on this. I made a personal eBay account in '06, but it seems like most of you have eBay stores? What are the benefits of setting these up? I am weary because this will not be a full time thing (college student) but I could use some extra income. I already have 100% positive with 40 feedback so...

Most of the tows were costing around $30, fortunately because the yard was only 3.4 miles away from my house. I was profiting roughly $180 - $210 for 2 hours worth of work. However, I didn't realize about the catalytic converter till the end of summer, and at that point - the price of steel dropped to the point where it wasn't worth scrapping the cars.
If you decide to go this route, look up minivans. They're heavy, and will yield a good amount, in addition, you can pick one up for $400. Best sale was I got a Toyota Previa for $300. Forgot how much the steel pricing was, but made $280 net profit. Lol, took the catalytic to them, and since it was an aftermarket I only got $5 for it, lulz.
