Loverly card by Storey Shop, under seven dollars.
I just sold my first and potentially last item on Ebay last week.
A pretty dress I never wear any more. I bought it for eight dollars or so at a Goodwill over a year ago. I posted it on Ebay with a starting bid at 99 cents. First mistake.
I priced the shipping at 5.90 cents based on a quick calculation on the USPS web site. Second mistake.
So I figured the low low intro price would induce a shark like feeding frenzy of insane bidding action!!
Nope, it did not.
Three bids with a final price of two dollars and twenty five fucking cents. Plus the ten cents short of six dollar shipping for a grand total of eight dollars and fifteen cents.
I get to the post office to mail my awesome sale in an envelope that cost 1.77. The shipping cost over eight dollars because I didn’t estimate the weight of the dress correctly.
Total profit: -3.77
IT COST ME MONEY TO SELL SOMETHING ON EBAY.
Haha. That sinks.
