I am a relatively new seller.
I saw experienced sellers here selling products on eBay for £9 for items that can weigh up to 2 kgs and provide free shipping with promoted listings.
I am really curious how a seller can operate like this. I see the shipping charge is somewhere around £5 or more for 2kgs parcel; eBay will charge anywhere from 8 to 20% of the selling cost, depending on the promotion percentage and selling fee. Of course there is inventory cost and storage cost. I wonder what magic it is?
I also see sellers selling small items on Amazon for £5 and still providing free shipping. Could anyone give me some guidance on this? Thanks a million.
