eBay is great. Fees? Not so much, but all of the largest platforms have fees. I think I lose around 9% of a sale on eBay to miscellaneous fees. This isn’t so bad on items where I’m making large profits, such as Warhammer Bits (I would love to provide a link, but due to recent policy changes, most bit sellers have shut down), but on things where profits are slim, it sucks. I was in the black on warhammer bits, it was wonderful. Then Games Workshop… well, shut everyone down. They shut down the websites. They shutdown the stores. They shutdown the bloggers, forum posters and forum hosts. As I sit here looking at 23,000+ auctions for “warhammer 40k” auctions, eBay is the last holy ground for these sales.

eBay is great for selling things at a higher value than you’d get on specialty sites. Take Magic the Gathering cards, they sell for 40-50% more on eBay than on a website like tcgplayer. Honestly, I’m glad people buy things on eBay, I ain’t complaining. Hopefully, I’ll start a store on eBay and link it back to brtw2.com, but that won’t be for a little while.
