Ebay fees and paypal fees are ridiculous now, say you sold something for £20 , ebay would take £2 of that , then paypal would take another £1 off plus the 40p to list that so just for selling you only have £16.50 . Then postage which, parcel2go does help with against post office but if it's a fairly large item it's about £4-5 again to post and pack. so you're down to about £11.50, plus buying the item which could cost you ....£5? maybe more? so you're at ~£6 profit , then take into the time/money you've spent driving to places to get the product and listing it and then organizing the posting of said product for £6. And that's if it was a £5 item you were selling for £20 which seems like a heavy mark up.
Just my thoughts on the matter
