Default Having Trouble Making Profit

i currently have a ebay account and selling dvds, video games, etc. Lately i have been having trouble making profit because all the ebay and paypal fees take so much of my profit. Currently i get my items from amazon deal of the day and deep discount, anyone know any other sites that are cheaper? because i am starting to give up on selling dvds and video games.

Why would you give up?

Ebay is notorious for their fees. Why not set up your own website to sell your dvds?

in this case you need to buy in bulk to save more money and cut the cost of the delivey.
check some sellers here i believe they do wholesale dvd or www.thewholesaledirectory.co.uk

If you wanted to setup a website I'd suggest OS commerce.

www.goldentemplatestore.com has great templates (refine the search to OSCOMMERCE) and they come preinstalled on the oscommerce software. Great easy way to list items, control inventory and the software is VERY scaleable, there are literally thousands of modules you can add on (reports, shipping UPS, google checkout, etc)

You might also consider AgoraCart. Mush easier to get going than OSC, as is CubeCart. All are free of cost, just the hosting and they will do all you need selling the products you mentioned.

You could always buy a ready made template for the time being to get yourself started or even find a free one.
