Is it worth selling on ebay?

[J]

one thing that has not been addressed by the other answers is fraudulent buyers.

eg: you sell an item that you properly described, photoed, packed and shipped. the buyer either says the package was lost, damaged, or the item was not as described -- and they want ALL their money back.

A friend had that happen recently with a DVD which was properly described, photos, shipped, everything. The buyer was in another country and said the DVD was not as described- then they threatened with complaints- the friend gave them their money back completely along with the DVD, and had to pay ebay insertion charges.

btw.. the DVD sold for 99 cents, shipping was over $5-
