I'll go through phases of eBaying, but last time I sold a lot of stuff for cheap thinking there were no listing fees. A few weeks later I was hit with such a big total quarter invoice for all the "other" fees. Ah! I ended up LOSING money on some stuff. So now I will be more selective and careful about my pricing and whether it's worth selling. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072144 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 20:30:05 +0000 Mrs. Yoyo 1072144@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a couple times. Last time I unwittingly violated some obscure rule, though, and the listing was pulled. It was super annoying. There are a LOT of rules, apparently! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072112 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 20:07:38 +0000 chopsuey 1072112@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to!

That's such a risk cuz what if they don't sell, but its amazing that you got such a huge return on them! Someone's trash is truly someone else's treasure I guess! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072100 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:59:58 +0000 yoursilverlining 1072100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. High Heels: I've found some cool vintage stuff at estate/yard sales for crazy cheap (like .10!) that sold for a huge profit, but then I remember that that isn't the norm, unfortunately! </p> <p>It's fun though, to watch your item prices go up, up, up!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072094 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:56:27 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1072094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@yoursilverlining: this would definitely just be for hobby money! Though one year in college (10 years ago!) my roommate's boyfriend had like 10 laptop computers shipped to our apt that he got on Black Friday, and planned to sell on ebay. That's a lil cray but I think he made a huge profit! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072090 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 19:50:59 +0000 yoursilverlining 1072090@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do. I used to sell a lot more, and do pretty well at it (for "hobby" money, not "real" money, if you know what I mean) - I need to get back to it! </p> <p>ebay can be really hit or miss; stuff I thought for sure would be hot go for meh prices and then random things people are all over. All it takes it one or two who really want the same thing, I guess! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-sell-on-ebay#post-1072031 Sat, 07 Sep 2013 18:51:46 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1072031@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I used to rarely sell on ebay because it was easier to post things on Craigslist and not worry about shipping. And the last time I posted on Ebay there were all these little fees (yeaaaars ago) they charged every time you listed.</p> <p>I recently wanted to sell a BM dress that was in excellent condition, and with clothes I thought Ebay would definitely be better than Craigslist (I usually just donate clothes to Goodwill) so I went with it. It sold so fast! I was really happy for getting a 70% return on my dress. I would've been happy with 50%!</p> <p>So that one experience gave me the desire to try to sell more.. First up were Noelle's Halloween costumes from the last two years. One is a common Carter's costume that I bought for $9.99 at Costco, and it was bid up to DOUBLE it's price. $20!</p> <p>I'm so surprised. I can't wait to dig up more things around the house to sell that's just been sitting and collecting dust. I asked my friend who loves buying and selling on Ebay for tips and she told me she's even sold her used cheap blouses, dresses, and blazers from Forever21 and H&amp;M for a decent return.</p> <p>Do you sell on Ebay? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-baby-clothes-from-hong-kong#post-323261 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 19:33:45 +0000 mrsjyw 323261@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i think the only reason i wouldn't is because of the shipping time. i can hardly stand zulily because of the long wait time.... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-baby-clothes-from-hong-kong#post-323156 Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:31:59 +0000 Mrs. Pen 323156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@stiffaknee: so you did order from all three sellers?

Such cute stuff!</p> <p>Hehehe - my in-laws are going to be in H.K. soon so I am going to email them some pics and see if they can score some cheap!

I didn't even think about Amazon, but yes, I DO like to get things from Amazon too. Usually the most random stuff I can think of too! </p> <p>@thehistoryofus - Dont' get me started on sample sale sites. Gilt and Hautelook are daily musts!</p> <p>@bluestripedbee - No kidding! I know I'm a shopaholic! :) but I do love hunting for a good deal! The best thing about eBay is you can basically be as cheap as you want! If it's too much, you just don't bid! I got a new Gymboree top yesterday for almost half the price they originally listed because there was an "or your best offer" option on the listing. </p> <p>@stiffaknee - Oh I already know that once LO arrives I will do more and more shopping online. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/got-to-ban-ebay-from-myself#post-310966 Wed, 26 Sep 2012 09:26:02 +0000 Alivoo01 310966@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Thehistoryofus: @anonysquire: another Amazon fanatic here.

Went to Carter's today to use that 25% off coupon and there was a Gymboree outlet next door, which I had to check of course! Got a matching cardi to some stuff I already bought and a matching legging for another "set". Came home to "browse" on eBay for other pieces in the collection and have ended up buying another matching top, matching socks, and different headbands (which had nothing to do with my original search). eeek! eBay is definitely a dangerous habit I can see myself picking up again! lol! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/would-you-buy-baby-clothes-from-hong-kong#post-281549 Tue, 04 Sep 2012 12:48:22 +0000 anonysquire 281549@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably not allowed here but I have a ton of Christmas leggings.

They just put a fancy label and packaging on them, it was a small company, but many larger, name brand companies do the same since everything seems to be made in China nowerdays. </p> <p>One set of leg warmers I had bought, I really liked. The material's nice and soft. Here's the seller: (the scrunchy ones were soft, but they offered better colors before). The best part is it's FREE shipping!</p> <p><a href="http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cute-long-Legging-Tights-Arm-Leg-Warmers-Protector-Socks-Babies-Toddler-/390374108138?pt=US_Baby_Toddler_Unisex_Clothing&#038;var=&#038;hash=item99adf47248#ht_6051wt_1004" rel="nofollow">http://www.ebay.com/itm/Cute-long-Legging-Tights-Arm-Leg-Warmers-Protector-Socks-Babies-Toddler-/390374108138?pt=US_Baby_Toddler_Unisex_Clothing&#038;var=&#038;hash=item99adf47248#ht_6051wt_1004</a> </p>
