Spinoff - what is the least $ amount you made on an eBay auction?

I think I am more successful in this category, sadly! Chat Icon

I sold a pair of NWOT Express pants for $1.60 Chat Icon I guess it was my fault for starting them at 99 cents Chat Icon

I LOST money selling a brand new wedding planning guide. Chat Icon SHOULD NOT have started at $1! Shipping wound up costing me like $3.50!

If I start an auction at 99-cents, I am willing to part with it at that price. If not, I set a reserve price. Cheapest I ever sold something for was probably like $5.

I bought my 50-lb US postal scale on ebay for 1-cent. Really, all I paid for was shipping! And it wasn't an excessive amount too! Good deal!

I sold a North Face jacket shell for $2.

The liner went missing but I still think I could've got more for it if I hadn't started it at $.99.

I lost $$ once on a shipment to Canada. I couldn't fit it into 1 box, so I split it into 2.

DUHHH!! I paid 2x the amount of shipping and only charged for 1 package Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon Chat Icon

I lost money. I tried to sell something and when I saw that it was only going to go for 99 cents (after I paid a LOT more), I canceled the auction and still had to pay the seller's fees.

Re: Spinoff - what is the least $ amount you made on an eBay auction?

I lost money with my Tiffany necklace. I was selling it around Christmas and it was up to $225 but the listing got removed from ebay because it is illegal to sell Tiffany items (which it was 100% legit and I was back and fourth on the phone with the supervisor and all). I relisted it right before V-Day and it sold for $88. I know I could have gotten more but ebay said they get suspicious when Tiffany's items are being oversold (the necklace was only $150 in stores). Not my fault people bid it up that high.

Live and learn!!

if I put it up for 99 cents....then I just want it gone! I've usually relisted it a few times without it selling at all.
