If you put Free shipping you always put that in your starting price + what you want for the item  paypa takes out a Fee even if you put free shipping which is not fair at all

dont ship free.  you should be listing world wide.

never start bid lower than your profit. 

i cannot sell anything but dump before lose $$$$

you will either catch the eye of a collector with $ or you will not....

AS ONE WE ARE WEAK AND PUSHED AROUND BY THE SCHOOL YARD BULLYS ebay AS MANY THEY WILL HAVE TO LISTEN WE NEED TO SCREAM OUT SHOUT LET EbAY KNOW WE THE SELLERS ARE TRIED AND WANT ARE RIGHTS TO BE LISTEN TO SO WE NEED TO UNITED AND GO ON STRIKE LETS PICK THE DAYS AND STOP LISTING UNTIL EBAY FEELS THE HURT AND CANNOT PAID THE LIGHT BILL

I have since reverted back to charging a shipping cost, although not a high rate. I will only offer free shipping on certain cases.

Reginal only saves money me if the item is heavy. Foster, check out the powerseller board chat about rolling blackouts and server switching. I found it very enlightening (no pun). I think it's under the heading of "Why don't I have sales" or something similar.

Whoever suggested selling overseas... I may have to agree with... but only if I absolutely need to. I checked my blocked buyer list (those who tried to bid/buy but were blocked due to my requirements) and most were overseas buyers. Although I hate shipping and the hassles with overseas, the ship time doesn't factor into my 90% 1 day ship track needed to stay TRS.

teri, I prefer to call myself a fool time seller thank you very much

Mokie, who are we trying to kid here? We are just fools. Gonna go hit your .99 cent starters cause I know you have some.

Unless you know your item is going to bid at least to the point where it will cover shipping + time and hassle to ship it then you need to either charge for shipping or increase your reserve/ starting bid.

Otherwise you are just asking for troubles.
