How to be a good seller on Ebay?

[Kayang Thao]

Urgh, all those Fees. I understand Ebay will be taking 9% of my sold Item with the Listing Fee and Paypal will be taking 2.9% + $0.30 transaction Fees.

For example, If I buy a Tablet for at $65.00 and wants to sell it for at $79.00 + $8.00 Shipping
Total is $87.00

But I already know that I wont be getting my profit due to all those fees and buying a mailing envelope to ship the goods.

So how do those sellers on Ebay get so successful and yet, some did not?

I tried to sell once. Sold it and I found out at last, I did not get any profit from the sale.

So with all this, it just seems more like, going to the local store is so much cheaper.

I know that those top sellers has good dropshippers and good suppliers that supply them very low prices. But How?
