I have just concluded my auctions on yahoo Fld and it was very profitable. The reason it was profitable is because of the FREE Listing Day. I put on 413 auctions in collectables. 34 sold and 379 did not sell. I listed items that range from $650 to $5. This gave me about an 8% sell thru rate. My FVF was $16.84. If I had to pay listing fees they would have been $105, which would have ate up my profit. Ebay Fld was somewhat better, I had a sell thru rate of 15%.This just goes to show that listing fees are usually higher than FVF, because of the low sell thru rate. It is more profitable to list a couple times a year on ebay and yahoo during FLD with a greater profit and less work for the dollar. People are finding this out more and more. It is the starters on ebay that are decieved into thinking they can make large profits on ebay with the high fees.
