Sales Sportslots 100% Ebay 0%

I have tried out both sites and so far I still only have sales through Sportslots.  I have tried to sell through both ebay and Sportslots but I have found no success on ebay.  Through some research I have found out through some reading that one of the ways to increase sales on ebay is to take a hit on your initial sales.  For example make the price start at zero.

Well I have a concern with this concept.  I have actually already tried selling a few cards with very low reserves and they still did not sell.  I was actually very disappointed and also discouraged.  Will I try again.  Of course I will.  I have thought about trying to sell a Rodney Stuckey RC and a John Tavares RC and take the risk that I earn little to nothing on the sale.  We'll see how it goes.

As for Sportslots my sales continue to go relatively well.  I just reached $50 in sales not counting auctions.  Not to bad.  As for the auctions I'll admit I took a bit of a hit on my listings there.  I sold a Josh Freeman Rookie and Stars GU # /50 for only $0.50 and a John Tavares Ovation RC only reached $8.50 but atleast they sold.  Also considering the $0.15 listing fee I can't complain.

Hopefully I can get my first ebay sale in the next week or so.  We'll see.  I'm interested in knowing others tips on how to get started on ebay.  Feel free to pass on your advice.
