Ebay resellers - tell me your story...

I've never really sold much on Ebay, more of a buyer, but the few things lately that I have sold were nowhere near worth the hassle. How do those of you that sell make sure it still makes you money? Apart from dumping stock found with price mistakes it seems that the steadily increasing Ebay fees, Paypal fees, and 'buyer-centric' policies have made Ebay selling a lot more difficult, less profitable, and more cutthroat. I'm just curious to hear from anyone who's actually making it work.

There was a man who was raising three boys of his own.
One day the man and woman met and started a blended family.

Ebay is a ripoff from a sellers point of view. 10% Ebay fee + PayPal's 2.9% + .30 fee + PayPal is required to report gross payments received for sellers who receive over $20,000 in gross payment volume AND over 200 separate payments in a calendar year.

There's a WM about 30-35 minutes from here showing "one or less" in stock on the 16 GB ones. Sadly I was just up that way about 2 weeks ago after grabbing the PSTV bundles from the closest store here. But I didn't know about the clearance on the memory cards at that point. I should've stopped and checked either way.

Although Amazon's shipping 'credits' freakin' blow in comparison to what it ACTUALLY costs to ship some items. Not to mention the fact that unless you do signature confirmation on everything all a buyer has to claim is they never received it and unless you have a signature on that package you're SOL.
