Hi all,

Just wondering where everyone sells their goods e.g. iPods, PSP's.

the profit isnt to good on ebay when all fee's are taken away so im thinking of new areas to sell

cheers

The perfect solution would be your own site, however it will be a while until you probably get visitors let alone customers. Don't let this put you off though, get a site straight away while you are selling in over venues and develop it so that it does have that target market available when you come to fully utilise it.

Regarding Ebay, if the fees etc take too much away to make the profit not worth it then in all honesty I would look for another product to sell. Consumer electronics is tough on Ebay, I use Ebay to sell mobiles from time to time which works well for me because its the "Must Have" handsets that I sell initially when demand means the price is worthwhile and later I just use them to drive traffic to my sites.

i have found amazon uk to be the best option for selling, reasons why:

1.they only charge you fees if you sell your item, no start up fee or anything
2.takes about a minute to set up an item on the website
3.secure transactions, dont let people buy if they want it sent to africa
4.free store setup
5.a lot easier that ebay

im only 15 but i dropship items to buyers and still make about 150 quid a day, and that is with fees added,

most electronics you dont but things like xbox 360 you have to be pre approved but i have gained this title in about 2 weeks and when you have that you can sell anything

Are you an Pro seller - cheaper fees etc...

If so, what are the fees, and what would I get on a Jap PSP that I sold at £149.99, and would I even sell it?

Thanks

you would probably get around 140+, when i first started with no feeback i sold 3 phones in 10 hours so i expect you would sell it quite quick,

Is it worth signing up for pro-seller status?
