Can anyone still make money from Ebay?

After all the bad experiences listing products on Ebay, would you think anyone still can earn a living on ebay?

    To make a living at it would be tough nowadays I think but I still use it for extra money here and there. If eBay could ever get decent management I think it could be like the old days again but I doubt that will ever happen.

    My buddy still does the old Cragislist-eBay rotation.....He goes to the "Free" section on Craigslist, picks up a bunch of items from people in his areas and resells them on eBay. He claims that he still does well!

    I do believe him since I'm amazed by what people give away for free on Craigslist.

    So only if the cost of the item is zero, then someone can actually make some money. My guess is the profit margin got to be high enough to sustain the insertion fee of non-saleable item.

    It depends what you are selling. Most ebay buyers are looking for bargains, the competition is cut-throat, Electronics,phones,computers etc is really competitive.

    If you make quality products/homemade items,clothing etc , "you get it for free" , you are just getting rid of unwanted items or you stumble across a supplier that offers you in-demand products at rock bottom prices, yes maybe.

    Also remember shipping costs, ebay fees and paypal fees. Especially ebay and paypal fees they just seem to wipeout any profit.
    Ebay is not what it used to be, such a shame.
    Cheers

    Think of how stupid the average person is, and realize half of them are stupider than that.
