I sold my first 4 sets on eBay this week. I thought I would post my results so anyone who hasn't sold any of theirs yet could see the results and all of the included fees. Maybe this will give you a better indication of how much you need to let your sets appreciate before you list them for sale. 10937 Sold For: $177.50 eBay Fees: $15.98 (9%) PayPal Fees: $4.21 (2.4%) Shipping USPS: $46.85 Total: $110.46 4841 Sold For: $177.50 eBay Fees: $15.98 (9%) PayPal Fees: $4.21 (2.4%) Shipping USPS: $26.90 Total: $130.41 7892 Sold For: $167.48 eBay Fees: $15.07 PayPal Fees: $3.98 (2.4%) Shipping USPS: $15.95 Total: $132.48 4840 Sold For: $113.01 eBay Fees: $10.17 PayPal Fees: $2.79 (2.4%) Shipping USPS: $11.30 Total: $88.75 All shipping was USPS Priority mail with tracking and insurance. I did end up making a good profit but I don't want to post what it was because the results are very skewed because of the fact I got these 4 sets incredibly cheap and I don't see that happening again in the future. If I were to do it all over again I might eliminate the free shipping option that I had on my auctions. I know it attracts buyers but the shipping costs were much higher than I expected. I could have shopped around at UPS or FedEx to see if I could get a better rate but I ended up shipping all through USPS.
