    Time is money,
    You could be using that time to make additional money

    And as my Father always said >> It takes money to make money
    As someone else pointed out, the eBay listing fees have been minimized

    I saw in another of your posts about shipping COD with UPS



    Consider starting a PayPal account
    Then the person could pay you and you could just ship the items
    In my opinion COD fees are ridiculous!

    For small items like those size valves , I have found the Priority Flat Rate box's to be the best deal for shipping
    ship anywhere the USPS delivers, even Hawaii, Alaska, Guam, Puerto Rico and the other territories, for one ow price >> Up to 70 pounds

    I believe you will find unless you get some BIG time discount >> UPS will be MUCH more expensive

    6.95 for cost of cod and then no need for paypal as that cost is for buyers cost of shipping. I feel when i buy something i pay the shipping and as a seller i feel the buyer should pay the shipping. I know paypal is a great way to purchase and sell online with all the scams going it least it has safeguards but somethings I just dont do unless no other choice. Oh btw paying retail price for anything is a big no no for me. lol It will never stop amazing me how much money the average us house hold throws down the drain or overspends for nothing in return when with just a few little changes and paying closer attention to fees etc people could save hundreds to thousands a year. I will not get on my soap box now but I know most people feel the same as you but like I said I have plenty of time on my hands.
