WOW Framer
I know a lot of you are involved with selling items on Ebay. I personally have never seen their website (except for a few pages like the guy in the wedding dress and the Menopause Barbie) but I digress, I have a LOT of stuff I could be selling and I want to ask y'all just how easy/time-consuming/safe, etc. it is to get started.
I recall hearing that it it far less easy to become established as a seller now than it was in the beginning (it is now and ever shall be - oops!). I have many personal collections which include vintage prints, vintage T-shirts, magazines, figurines, posters, Star Wars crap - I need to get rid of this stuff and I need money. Ebay seems perfect.
What are the hidden negatives of all of this? I have read recently that new businesses are opening up where they sell this stuff for you and take a percentage (30% was the figure they mentioned). I have the digital camera, scanner, and the power of description. Do I have the time, eyesight, patience???
Does Ebay suck you into being a buyer once you hang out there regularly? That is a HUGE fear of mine!!! Or are you compelled to go in search of more crap to buy once you have exhausted your own personal stash???
Please share your thoughts and experiences with me. I have matted and bagged the vintage prints and they are in bins in my shop and I only sell one or two a year. I could use the shop space and they are too way cool to toss.
Thanks!
