They are horrible robbing bastards and charge you a selling fee at the end of the month you sell something as well as the money you pay to put your item up for sale.

And don't start me on Betfair who can sit on my finger for the "Premium Charge" they're trying to rip off me for gambling successfully. Take me to court if you want Betunfair.

What you mean like every single auction house does the bastards how dare they the cheek of it not doing it for free

Theres a living to be made on ebay if you learn about drop shipping and can find some decent suppliers.

Just got to be sure your supplier is reliable you can make a fortune doing this
