Anyone used E-Bay in their business for selling new goods?

[Bright Spark]

In a previous contract I knew someone who was selling goods on ebay
from an argos catalogue, and she was doing quite well.

Thinking of trying it for our education materials. Any experiences, good or bad?

Make sure you take account of E-Bay and Paypal charges when you price your items for auction. I used to do a lot of low value high volume stuff on E-Bay but the charges got to the point where it was impossible to make a reasonable return for the time invested becasue the charges kept going up.

I know a guy who's been pretty successful in promoting his own sports clothing business by selling stuff on ebay and linking to his own e-commerce website within the product descriptions.

Your mileage, however, may vary because it's something of a different market you're targeting.
