Over the past few months i have noticed things changing in the eBay world of selling.  Prices have been raised again, making it even harder for the average seller to make any money.  With eBay taking a percentage and PayPal taking another chunk it seems that there is nothing left for the seller.  I have found that this has affected allot more sellers than just me.  The increase in listing fees on eBay stores has put a lot more pressure on the average seller.

With the increase in fees it has become more and more difficult to get motivated to sell items.  The correlation is that with every business there is going to be inflation; this is what is happening with eBay.  Prices go up!  The average seller must adapt or fail.  With being a seller for a little over two years i find that i must use every trick of the trade to turn a profit.

The firsts thing i did was take a few days and reevaluate how to run my store the most efficiently.  What items am i selling consistently that people want?  If you sell the products that people want you will get the pay off that you are hoping for.  If you have a store the key thing that i have found is balancing auciton style listing and store inventory.    This way you get the optimum views for all of your listings, therefore selling more items.

The best outcome is to do research on your items and make sure you will make a profit before listing.  Also remember why you started selling on ebay in the first place.  I started because of the challenge of starting my own business and my passion for selling books.  Growing and adapting to the changing market is what business is all about.  I know that i will take the new changes as a personal challenge to stay on top of the game. 

Good luck to everybody selling on eBay and dealing with the new changes that have come up. 

Happy Ebaying!
