I think this is an accurate breakdown on how the fees, shipping and ebay fees pile up. The example is a Suchomimus Action attack by Mattel, because I love dinosaurs.
If there's something inaccurate or some logical fallacy, please point it. I'm not perfect. But yes, this is probably why ebay listings always try to go double MSRP or more, the actual profit for the seller is abysmal. ---------------- Suchomimus Action attack by Mattel MSRP: $20 3.52 ounces Length: 14 inches Width: 4 inches height: 9 inches $20 MSRP $ 2 Retail Sales Tax (california 10%) $10 1st rate shipping and signature (Also pays for bad returns, theft and shipping supplies, Transportation wear and tear) ------------------------------- $32 $ 4 (Ebay fees) (10% of final Price and Shipping cost) --------------------------------- $36 $ 4 (Net profit for all this effort) ---------------------------- $40 for a $20 MSRP toy |

I don't know how people run businesses on eBay.
I use it a lot to sell things I shouldn't have bought. If I was trying to profit between the fees and shipping, I'd be tearing my hair out. It's honestly not that active here. I jumped in to try to build an instant modern collection and I have had to rely almost exclusively on eBay (and a few very nice HissTank members).
