So this is very Sun Tzu - or if Yoda is more your cup of tea - its something that he might say to any good eBayer too: "be nimble, grasshopper!"

What do I mean? I mean - if your competition includes giant massive sellers with all kinds of power, and you're small, and the whole situation seems daunting - think like this:

They are big and lumbering, you are small and nimble
They are mammoth and slow, you are gazelle-like and fast
They are impersonal, you provide a personal touch to your customers
The have a huge inventory, your inventory is small and very niche
They have the lowest price, you provide tons of value

...as with so many things, size matters - but bigger isn't always better on eBay.

Use the fact that you are small and nimble and flexible to you advantage!
