This is totally rediculous !! So no more ebay for me !!

That's the beauty of doing it on consignment. Very little risk to me.

Of course, I'm still taking a $2,000 bath from over a year ago on a "brilliant" idea involving eBay and about 100K baseball cards.

You win some, you lose some. And as much as eBay drives me up the wall, it is still the best place for most sellers looking to go online.

 I hate to admit it,,,but your right !!  Non of the sites I have looked at has the traffic that ebay does !!

[rockandrollrods]

I've tried a couple of them as well, but I have just never had the results that made it even remotely worthwhile. If a better option were to happen, then I would jump the eBay ship so fast, I might forget my luggage. But I'm not an innovater when it comes to my business, I'm a follower.

Any body know any other good sites for selling antiques online? I created an account at Live Auctioneers, but I haven't sold an item online before (yet).

What kind of items are you selling ??

[Kevin_Bones]

Sorry Mart, I don't know why I didn't see your post until now... I plan on selling tobacco tins and other small collectible items. I posted a few items just so I can learn how to use the website, and learn more about shipping an item so that when I start selling bigger items I can send them with confidence that it won't get lost or damaged. A couple Vicks Vaporub bottles, and a couple old pill boxes.

Sorry again I didn't see that right away!

What about Ruby Lane ??  They are more high end antiques but you might check it out !!  Better chance for a decent price !!  I don`t know any of their regulations !!

[Kevin_Bones]

I'm not sure if I have anything right now that would be able to go on Ruby Lane... nothing "fancy" enough right now haha. I have never really looked at the site enough though to be sure, so I will check it out... So far no luck using Ebay. I will definitely try buying a few items off of Ebay as well when I have a little bit of extra cash.

Ebay is a good place to buy if you are careful and don`t get wound up in it !!

[Kevin_Bones]

My biggest problem is buying things I don't want to sell!! 

[mart]

A good way to combat the "I love it and I am going to keep it" syndrome we all have is to look at your expenses and your sell inventory !! If all your expenses are paid for the month including your ebay fees and you have enough of an inventory stashed to keep on selling,,then you can keep it !! But if there are bills to pay, and you need to buy more in order to keep a few things going on ebay,,, then sell it and reinvest the profit in a larger inventory !!
