Is it a waste of time selling on eBay at the minute...? -

I have loads of quality Stuff to sell on eBay but I have noticed at the minute the prices Stuff fetches is peanuts.. Then eBay wants its cut for selling it... Then Pay-pal wants its cut for handling the transaction....You can sell stuff and be out of pocket..Why bother????Has eBay had its day and will it still exist in 10 Years time.Thank you for you answers (If I get any) Have a great day

Just saw a guy from ebay on TV trying to justify the policy of users not now being allowed to sell an item with a separate postal charge. He was like a worm on a hook!From what the guy was saying, ebay is interested in businesses selling rather than individuals.So, if you have a business small or large and can offset the postage pricing or cuts that others take somehow, then ebay is the way for you.As a private or casual seller, it may well be that ebay no longer supports your needs.Ebay survival? If they continue the way they are then they will only survive for use by businesses that can afford to use the service . For the casual seller though, ebay seems to be on its last legs - if not death bed.

Currently with most things forcing sellers to have free postage and then ebay taking fees it doesn t always work out well for the seller. All depends on what you are selling. Many sellers also still state they will charge postage.With it getting nearer to Christmas many more will be buying on ebay, making it the perfect time to sell. However, as always, people are looking for a bargain and you will probably have more competition.Ebay certainly isn t as good as it used to be and in many cases it works out better to sell elsewhere, but there are still many things that you can sell on ebay for a decent price. You can never be sure what something will sell for though - you might be surprised

Depends what you are selling .. in my opinion ebay now has so many idiots willing to pay over high street prices that a lot of stuff is no longer cheap ... At the same time, the Chinese have worked out that they can sell electronic goods at half UK high street price, ship direct to UK and still make a profit ... (I suspect that some stuff , such as DVD/CD s, have manufacturing costs in the low pence .. as usual the UK consumer is ripped off by the the UK high street (where the price you pay is 90% profit tax)So - if you want to make a profit, DON T sell stuff made in China :-)

Yes I think it is a waste of time, especially DVD s and CD s as you are not allowed to charge postage on the them so you are out of pocket from sending the items as wellWould rather give stuff away on freecycle than line ebays and paypals pocketsOr use Ad-mag as they are free to list with

Well it depends what stuff you are trying to sell. You can check ebay for auctions that have been completed to see what your stuff actually sold for. (its in advanced search options)You are right, they all take a cut. You can avoid paypal fee if they send a money order. But they stick you with the fee for its convince.You could always try to post it locally for free (craigslist.com) to see if that nets you any hits. Then try ebay as your last resort.Ebay will be around for awhile I think. The good thing about ebay is almost anyone/anywhere can buy it from you, so it reaches out to more people. But like I said it all depends on what your selling.

I ll agree that the way eBay is treating it s sellers is pretty sucky these days. I ve moved into other avenues of Internet income in part for that reason. The company is struggling to deal with an increasingly negative image from the public caused by unscrupulous sellers. Who doesn t know someone who s had it stuck to them on eBay?That said, eBay has always been a discount market. In spite of all the low priced books, music, clothes and other things, it s never been very practical to sell anything for under $10. Because of the time it takes to create and submit an item description, higher priced items are the best bet. I know industrial machinery sellers who regularly turn a $20K profit on a single item with maybe $15K invested. Auto parts guys are cleaning up stripping old wrecks and engines for parts. And if you have a quantity of identical items, you can sell them store-style without doing new ads, but you still have to watch those fees.There are more shoppers on eBay than ever before. If you are selling the right item for the right price you re making money. You can t easily make a worthwhile profit if you re buying at regular wholesale prices, though. You ve got to find deals on liquidation or auction stock. Many times I ve paid $50 for a case of something in a live auction that brought me over $500 sold individually on eBay. As an old flea market guy once told me You make your money when you buy .

Is wantapair.com a Legit site to place shoe orders? -

Is this a legit site

Nope, that s completely bogus. Their contact e-mail is an @hotmail.com address, which indicates that the site has been put up by an individual, not a legit company (legit companys don t have hotmail accounts as their contact mechanism). There is also absolutely no other contact info either such as an address or phone number. I d advise that you do not order from that site.

wantapair. com is Totally a legit. I ordered my LV shoes on August 10th, and the shoes come to me at 20th. and the shoes is nice too.At first, i was worry about that wheher they are legit or not and whether the shoes is real or not, and the fact told me i don t need to worry about it,100% legit!

Do you have any day trading advice? -

Hi,Do you know any strong and defensive stocks for either day trading and long term investingI know about ; exxon, procter and gamble, walmart, ge, WNR, HCBK, etc2. Have you been a day trader or pattern day trader?what stocks did you trade for day trading and did mostly profits3. Do you use your margin purchasing power or you mostly trade with your own cash, is the interest charge on the margin account too much?Please, I ll appreciate any input.THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I ve seen many people fail at day trading and I think it s a well known fact that most do not succeed. Therefore understand that the odds are against you and you should never trade with money you can t afford to lose.If you still want to give it a go, begin by trading with an electronic simulator instead of real money. Ask your broker if they have one. If not, I know that there is a free one at http://www.NinjaTrader.com. You need a data feed, but if you re swing trading you can actually use Yahoo! data for free. Make sure you have a valid trading methodology and that you can trade it successfully by using a simulator for a long time before trading with real money. The longer, the better because a trend trading system may work for a few months while the market is trending, but then stop working when the market goes into consolidation and you find your trading account getting chopped up.

My advice(1) Don t day trade.(2) Never buy on margin(3) Never sell short

Is it possible to file a dba but hold off starting a business until a later date? -

Already spent the money but for financially reasons can t start until later. Do I have to pay taxes/get a business license for not doing anything for the past few months? I don t want to cancel it.

You have set it up and not begin to operate it yet - When you open the door and start doing business you are dba for all income that isderived from that point. If no income has been generated from business then notaxes would be due. The key is when you open the door and actually start sellingsomething. The business license is usually issued on estimated sales the first yearand you should get this a reasonable time before you open.

I m not sure if this varies by state, so I am answering for Florida.No. As long as you tax id number doesn t show any activity in the IRS database (i.e. depositing checks written to your DBA, getting a bank account, applying for tax exempt status, applying with D.O.R. (dep of revenue) to charge sales tax, another person/business making a write-off to your DBA, etc..) then you have nothing to worry about. As for your business license: You are not required to obtain a business license unless you plan on doing business. You can t open a bank account, or charge sales tax without a business license so I guess that kills 2 birds with 1 stone.Hundreds of people do exactly what you are doing right now, my wife is one of them. You won t have to pay any taxes because you have no income to claim (from your DBA). Also, hundreds of business will shut their doors LONG before their DBA status expires, so while I can t show you any facts, it s obvious that a DBA license is not obgliated to be constantly tethered to an annual federal income tax record nor an annual business license (aka business tax).
