and how anyone makes any money on it?

I'm trying to sell a couple of items on Ebay with no success. They are both nice things and in good condition. First time round I priced them what I thought was appropriately. Second time, I dropped price to 0.99 but still no one is interested!

The first time I sold something on Ebay I made a loss because I hadn't costed the postage properly. So this time I weighed them and worked it out - postage costs around £6.

Do you think this is the sticking point? Do people just expect free P & P?

I have a good description, several photos, its listed in the correct category; schedule auction to start/finish around 6.30pm (as I'd heard was best to do at end of day).

What am I doing wrong? Can anyone help me with Tips please?

(I read these stories about people who make lots of extra money on ebay and I just don't get it. I can't sell anything!)

I sell £2500 a month on ebay, similar on Amazon.

Some people do make a great deal and good business on these platforms.
