dtimisch, your shipping rates make a lot of sense. I only charge $1.64, and I'm losing $0.30 in supplies on every transaction. I'm going to try switching to $2 shipping after my last batch of auctions are done. The only problem is I rely on the 20% discount and if I start getting nailed on DSR's I will have to go back to $1.64, which seems to be real safe. (I have 4.99 shipping cost DSR right now)
monkeymcgee, I think free shipping is cool, but you might be giving more away than you need to. Maybe?
I'm no expert at eBay, but one thing I know is it's a constantly changing marketplace, and you need to be flexible and ride with the wind. A year or so ago, I really thought BIN/BO's were best, but that's seemed to have changed recently, at least for me. But things could change again and I have to be ready to change on a dime. Never get stuck in a mode, or get emotionally attached to a system. Be ready to throw everything you know out the window and start with a new strategy.
