When to eBay?
How much money would you have to make off an item before you'd put it on eBay?
I have a duplicate gift that was not bought at my registries. If I sell the extra on eBay I'd probably make about $13 net. I'd have to get off my butt to get the thing shipped. Just seems like a a pain to me and not really worth it. I keep telling myself that money is money and I should get what I can, but I'm not convincing myself. Maybe if I'd get a solid $20 it would be motivation enough... |
eBay changed their seller rules that makes it a PITA for the average seller now.
Cliff Notes: Sellers can no longer leave negative feedback. You have no way of knowing if the buyer is a flake. Money is not released until the buyer leaves positive feedback. This means you don't get your money until the buyer decides they are happy. What kind of item is it? I sell a lot of stuff on Amazon these days. The fees are slightly higher but their "shipping credit" evens it out and the hassle is a lot less. |

CP can't you return the duplicate for store credit? No fees and you get full price for the gift towards something you still need?

It's an item that isn't generally sold in stores.

Well, if it's one item you are selling, not a big deal and you can do the postage online and have your mail carrier take it from your doorstep, or drop it at the PO without having to stand in line with the postage on it.
I need to start ebaying again, too much stuff and not amazon.com-able. Craigslist, too. Oh, and to answer your original question, if I break even on an item, I'm good. Profit is better, these days, breaking even is okay. |
If it's something that might wear out/break I'd keep the second as a back up. Otherwise if it's not hard to store you can keep and re-gift. Ebay seems like a lot of hassle for not much reward in this case.
