A question for you veteran sellers. Is it better to move a lot of product at a lower profit margin or hold product longer for a higher profit margin?

If you are using the free 50 listings hold out for higher profit margin as it costs nothing to re-list.

Depends on yer motives and intentions. How much do you need the money. Depending on the item I will list it free a hundred times before I give it away. Somebody always comes along and buys it.Do the math on yer profits vs fees.
