Actual Earnings for February

This is money that was actually received during February, not just theoretical future earnings.

eBay Earnings:

Profit: -£2.00

This was actually a loss this month, because I didn't sell any items for profit, only some personal items which aren't included. Due to poor performance in January, however, I didn't start re-listing items until almost the end of the month, so many of the expenses listed are for items that are still running.

I did reach Top Rated Seller during February, which, unlike Power Seller, is displayed in the listings.

Actual Earnings for January

Affiliate Earnings:

myLot: $10.68
Google AdSense : £97.00

eBay Earnings:

Profit: £20.61

These are after deducting PayPal fees, eBay fees, post & packing fees and stock cost.

On the plus side, I reached Bronze PowerSeller status in January. On the minus side, this doesn't show up anywhere, and you can't use the logo or mention it at all on eBay. So the only thing it's good for currently is the discount.

Actual Earnings for December

This is money that was actually received during December, not just theoretical future earnings.

Affiliate Earnings:

Google AdSense: £184.27 - This is actually two months revenue

Flash Earnings:

Sitelocks: $250

eBay Earnings:

Profit: £47.67 approx

These are after deducting PayPal fees, eBay fees, post & packing fees and stock cost. Packaging has a bit of a fudge factor, but is probably reasonable accurate.

The profit is a bit disappointing considering the amount of sales made - getting up for £600 excluding p&p charged. eBay made more than I did, and PayPal fees weren't far behind.

eBay

I've been a member of eBay for almost 7 years now, and in most of that time I've rarely bought or sold anything. I've recently started to increase my activity, both buying and selling items on eBay, both new and second-hand.

I've recently started selling a number of Letraset items, so far ProMarkers and pads, all of which I currently use myself (I liked them so much I started selling them).

Here's a list of the items I currently have for sale. Only 102 feedback so far, but 97 of those were in the last 12 months. As I get more proficient, this should start increasing more rapidly.
