Can you make money this way?

Nothing against this seller, but can you make money as a dealer this way. He has 709 BIN listings (at the time of this posting) on eBay all ending at 8:00 am PST on a thursday morning. Is it worth all of the listing fees just to catch a few sells here and there?

  • Well guess it would depend on his margins. He has sold 38 items out of this round of listings for a total of $4725 before fees. Plus he listed I believe on that 20 cent listing day.

    i would say yes - Some guys line up auctions on turbolister and wait until a free or 10 cent or 20 cent listing day. It looks like he did that and the coins that he is selling seem like high profit items. His prices seem awfully high to me. But even if he only makes 15% on $4750 he will make over $700. Bob

    I guess this is what I was really questioning. I see from the second poster that at 20 cents an auction, however, there isn't much to lose.
  • I just checked out his seller feedback. He hasn't sold anything since June 16th!!!

    red flag?
