Ebay fees and Paypal fees explained (2013)

So ebay fees and paypal fees change every couple of years but for now here's how it goes.  If you add any extra things such as gallery plus, picture editors, any enhancers, those all cost a decent amount 50 cents a piece or around there.   But you dont need them.  So ebay charges an INSERTION FEE  for 30 cents when you list an item and charges a FINAL VALUE FEE which is 10 % of the final sale price.  In addition, Paypal charges 30 cents for a TRANSACTION FEE and takes 1.9% for themselves.  Which sucks.  So you can get anywhere from 20% to 85% of your item value depending on how expensive it is.  The higher the final value price the closer to the 85% you get.  I HATE EBAY AND PAYPAL FEES

EBAY FREE LISTING DAYS! SWEET!

Finally! Ebay free listing days arrive, what they are is a week where ebay basically allowed you to post up to 800,000 items for free.  Usually it costs you 30 cents to list an item but that 30 cents can add up and if your selling small items that can be like 20% of your profit! not to mention, ebay fees and paypal fees! so I listed over 100 items and saved 30 bucks! I love ebay free listing days and wish they had more!

THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GARAGE SALES!

My Top 3 considerations for anything: Condition, Vintage, Odd/Unusual

• Books, VG+ condition: I don't usually do many books, unless they're really weird.
• Old paperback romance (<1980)
• Older children's books (<1970, hardcover, good dustjackets)
• Vintage paperbacks (mystery/sci fi) with lurid cover art
• Obscure non-fiction, the more specific the better.
• Odd cookbooks, vintage, put out by specific groups, odd foods
• Short stories (Horror/SciFi, put together as a lot)
• Several on same subject/sold as lot (crafts, hobbies, skills)
• See my guide for Buying Ex-Library Books, it applies here as well.
• Magazines - older, unusual topics, cover art, ads, check condition carefully, some wear is OK.
• CD's, check condition, classical, foreign, old musicals/soundtracks (buy popular music only if cheap)
• Cassettes : (<1990) these can be OK, if older, very specific music, religious, local, ethnic, some classical. Some music is not available on CD yet.
• DVDs, check condition, TV series, older movies, foreign films, odd non-fiction, excercise/yoga (buy popular movies only if cheap)
• VHS (<1990), obscure movies (foreign, sci-fi, horror, odd animation). Avoid any current releases.
• Video/PC Games: check condition carefully, odd titles, some older titles, horror/sci-fi/historical titles.
• Toys/action figures, vintage: check condition carefully. Year is often on foot of older action figures.
• Pins/pinbacks - brooches or music
• Keychains - odd, vintage, music/sports/auto related
• Board games/puzzles - complete, vintage
• Small electronics, calculators, cameras - vintage, best if with box and cables
• Early video games, especially the little handheld ones, best with box/instructions, check if they work w/new batteries
• Car-related items: keychains, accessories, etc. (for cars no longer made is better)
• Charm bracelets, charms, pendants: odd themes, can be sold as is or separately as charms
• Costume jewelry: doesn't have to be designer, well made, unusual, odd themes
• Scarves: the long thin kind, can be listed/described  as neckwear, a head scarf, a belt, or purse accessory. Check for stains and rips.
• Belts: vintage, chain/metal, check condition.
• Vintage accessories: Gloves, handbags, scarves, belts, check condition carefully
• Vintage clothes: this can be a bit more involved with designers/makers, but if interesting, cheap and in really good condition, go for it.
• Designer anything with the tags, or VG without tags (these can be pricey, watch out, best if you know clothes)
• Defunct sports memorabilia - items from teams that are no longer playing
• Sports memorabilia - pins, keychains, mugs, odd housewares, etc.
• Coffee Mugs/Cups - Starbucks, licensed characters (older is better), 3D designs, odd shapes/themes
• Collectible glasses (McDonald's, etc.), the older the better, check for cracks and image wear
• Barware: swizzle sticks (odd shapes, specific liquors, places), shot glasses (bunch from same place, unusual, sets), coasters, ashtrays
• Pens: vintage, older, unusual, again you should know what you're looking for.
• Legos, sell in big lots, manuals, people, bases
• Other building toys: Playmobil, lincoln logs, bionicle?
• Kitchenware: vintage sets, obvious 70s, linens, silverware, utensils
• Dishes/Flatware: best if you know what makers you want, check for cracks and wear
• Linens: aprons, handkerchiefs, curtains, sheets, vintage, unusual, check condition carefully
• Buttons, fabric, other notions: odd, vintage, collectible
• Patterns: vintage, dolls and toys, odd designs
• Airline themes: silverware, jewelry, accessories
• Christmas items: ornaments, music, jewelry, decorations, again Condition, Vintage, Unusual.
• Fast Food toys, the older the better (<2000 at least), best if still in packaging, otherwise vintage in VG+ condition.
• Tools/housewares- vintage, odd/unusual, best with box/cords/instructions.

New Money Making Activity #6: Buying & Selling Fine Goods

New Money Making Activity #6:  Buying And Selling Fine Goods

Here's how to turn $5 into $100 bucks easy.  First thing you should know is these deals aren't always around but they are there.  Here's how you do it.   Sometimes big retailer stores like Macys, JC Penney, Sears, etc all have sales and clearance.  You want to head straight for the clearance section of any department store and look for sales.  You'll find insane deals on things tat used to be $200 for $5 or $15!!! Quickly snag this opportunity and find a department coupon for an extra 20% off or something and buy in bulk of all clearance items.  Then you can sell them online free! Using ebay or other sites.  It can be very profitable and actually rack up $1000+ a week if you know what your doing.  It may seem like a lot of work but it really isn't and the pay out isn't too bad either.  But don't be stupid, you have to have a feel for what will sell and what won't.  Have fun shopping and making money! But a vital rule......don't get sidetracked and spend more than you need to.
