    Yes I would highly recommend selling those items on ebay. However, I would start my bidding off at the least amount I would be willing to take for the item or go ahead and list starting at the price you actually want for the items just to be safe.

    I've sold sporadically on eBay, but it's been over a year since my last listing. Your success has made me ponder trying it again! I have so many gently used clothes and other items that I just don't need anymore.

    I have toyed with the idea of selling on Ebay. It sounds like something I might actually be capable of trying. Your story is an encouragement and I wish you well.

    I agree with you for the reason you are selling on Ebay.

    Good Luck with this Christmas season 2009.

    Great information here...I tried ebay (for years) but they recently (last year) lost me and my business as a seller due to the feedback issues...but I'm glad it's working out for you. We both did it for the same reasons ;o)
    ...thanks for popping in and visiting my banana bread recipe lens...I appreciate you stopping by and commenting.

    That's the best reason of all to work an online business - so you can stay home with your sweet little ones! I've been a stay-at-home mom since my first was born 13 years ago, and never, ever regretted it!

    Great lens. Interesting comment above about buying and selling on Amazon!

    eBay is good enough, but I prefer to buy and sell large quantities of items on Amazon, as we have over 1000 items for sale and eBay takes 30% of our profit, while Amazon takes much, much less. 5*'s!

    You could say I am a dabbler in Ebay.
    Mainly selling a little buying..
    Have had some very good sales and a few poor ones.
    Abhor Ebay's current selling conditions. Not much thought has gone into those decisions.
    I have always believed that it takes two to tango.
    Ebay believe they have to make buyers happy, which I agree with 100% .
    I endeavour to give my all to my clients. Great quality and service.
    Still if you do not have any sellers, where would the buyers go and ultimately where would Ebay be?
    Great lens and have given you five Stars plus ***** and fav u

    I enjoyed reading your story, I am a mompenuer and have my hand in many things along with Ebay. More about my story is in my about me section. I finally purchased my first wholesale pallet. It's a lot of work but I want to be HOME!!! I'm tired of my job and want to be home working my businesses!

    I know how you feel. I have two kids at home and I want to stay home and play with them all day. Great lens. Looks like you figured out the RSS feed. I'm having a terrible time getting that going. :)
    5 *'s!

    I've sold fairly large lots of collectibles when we were selling our house and moving to a new state, so I know how much work ebay selling can be. Can't imagine how you keep almost 400 auctions going. I thought that 10 would just about kill me! Nice job; best of luck to you. If you're not on Twitter, get out there--it's a good way to network with others.
