It’s been a few months since I stopped selling on eBay. It was a matter of the fee’s being higher then then the amount of money being made. With the cost of shipping and eBay fee’s I could no longer be at a profit by selling on eBay. When I was at my peak and there was less competition for the items I was selling, the money was pouring in. In the last year many sellers from Asia have started to dry up sales for my niche. Still not sure how they make money, but the Asian sellers are able to sell a product cheap and pay shipping and eBay fee’s and still manage to make money. As my sales on eBay dried up my fee’s were higher then what I was making in profit. It was not easy stop selling on eBay, but I managed to make money online in different ways. It is always better to have your eggs in a few different baskets. You never know when an income source will dry out. Without eBay I had to figure away to get rid of some slow moving stock. The first choice was Craig’s List. In a few days I was able to get rid of a good number of items and still have a profit. All in all I would say that I have lost about $500 a month by not selling on eBay. This amount is based on the period of time that my business had no competition. The lesson learned is that you need to have many sources of income online, if one fails you have a back up.
