Anyone sell on Ebay? How are your experiences lately?

[EstimatedProphet]

I've been selling items on Ebay for only a couple of months, but it seems like Ebay is drowning in sellers right now. Any item, any brand, any anything-look on Ebay and there's 30 people selling the same thing, and no one's bdding.
Is this really going on, or is it just a coincidence?

1. Maybe it's product.

I sold some hand made quilts this summer, and got a good response.

There is a lot of the same merchandise beig sold by multiple sellers, though.

2. I wondered about that myself

I've been trying to sell things like china sets (as an example) and the reception is really off/on. sometimes people really like them and go for it, soemtimes there's no interest at all-and that goes for both known brands and unknown, so I don't think it's a brand-name thing.

3. I have noticed a lot of "stores" doing business there

Someone orders a ton of something then floods the categories with their stuff. Very hard to sell/find tresures nowadays!

PS and they always have "buy it now" so it is not a true auction!
