1 month xbox live codes

Hi, The 1 month xbox live codes on ebay are getting cheaper and cheaper. When will the price stop falling. In under a month they have gone from about £5 to getting close to £4.

All comments welcome!

That's what happens when sellers compete for pricing. You'll see the pricing drop even more.

There is life outside of eBay. If you cannot compete, you have to adapt to the market. That's just business, I am afraid.

I've also noticed the wholesale price on here (at least) has dropped down a bit. Not a lot of profit to be had after ebay fee's, and postage, even if you can sell dozens a day. Probably only worth it via website, where delivery can be automated, and you don't have to worry about postage or ebay fee's.

Unfortunately many sellers do not have to worry about postage as they still send it by e-mail even though it is against the rules!

That's the problem right there unfortunately, too many sellers come on eBay willing to make literally pennies per sale, this drives the price down accross the board meaning those trying to build a profitable business can't

That is the main thing I really cannot stand about eBay is the sellers willing to make pennies, they soon disappear, but along comes another soon enough to replace them!

Mabey after a few month the whole load of people willing to make pennies will go and then prices can gradually go back up.

Unlikely to happen, certainly I wouldn't count on it. Seems may like earning so little or have amazing suppliers.

Is there any point? You've got to sell 100 just to make a fiver!

Forget about them and move on.
