Obvoiusly i take it others on here do, but do any of you use the "Sales Report" features?

Mine for May has just come through, with an amazing 10560.1% INCREASE in sales over the last 4 weeks lol

ebay is pissing me off a treat atm, well the people on there who ask about 10 questions on the item, but then don't bid. I've run up a ?25 listing fee and sold FA. :wall:

I've dug out loads of sh!t to sell on ebay. Problem is though, as said, I've got so much junk to shift that unless most of it sells (unlikely) I'll barely break even with the listing fees :(

what are you all on about listing fees lol? Every item i sell costs me 15p each, so over heads are low, and profit is high ;)

Depends what your start value is, and how you list stuff... i.e. pics etc.
