    Travis....eBay recently changed the final value fee schedule to include the shipping cost. Your 99 cent sale with $13 shipping at the 11% final value fee rate has a $1.54 fee. If you didn't get a free listing fee it adds 50 cents. So even if you break even on shipping this one costs you $2.04 in eBay fees plus 56 cents for PayPal fees if they are still 4% for a total cost of $2.54.

    I know you said you need to change this up, but wanted to give you a heads up that the fees are charged on shipping too so you can figure that in when listing. I've sold on eBay since 1998 and it sure has changed a lot over the years.

    If you are careful you can do great and sell things you never can sell locally or hit a treasure like DiamondN did.
    Good luck.
