My FP listings are almost done (except for a few relists that had 10 day lists that I didn't catch). I listed 567 FP items and sold 128 with sell through rate of 22%. I saved $113.40 in listing fees and made I don't know how much from the sales ( and if I knew I wouldnt say). I still have 439 items in inventory that are updated and ready to launch/relist at some time in the future. The best part is that this was an unplanned source of cash right before Christmas!!
One side benefit to having all of these active listings was the exposure my other auctions received through the "see sellers other items" clicks. I can't assess the effect of this exposure but I sense it helped all the way around!
So for me, it was worth the 12 hours work! I also liked having the sales spread throughout the week instead of ending all in one day !

I always wondered why it took 3 to 4 years to become a CPA.
One guy runs back and forth to work behind the bus daily and saves $60 a month. His friend runs back and forth to work behind a limousine and saves $3000 a month.
So I take it that even if you sold nothing at all you would still have saved $113.40.
You could have saved $226.80 simply by listing your items in two catgeories.
Hehehehe.

Congratulations Neglus! I am very happy with my sales as well. It was definitely worth the effort...and, the leftovers are all ready to go now if we get a FLD later

I don't know, but I am beginning to think that is the best way to list. I does get you away from all the penny auctions when they go to the buy-it-now link.

And the $million dollar question is how much profit did you make on the $210 in sales after you deduct product cost,your time and fees.
