Selling Photos on eBay

CameraMan · 27th of December 2010 (Mon)

I've seen quite a few photos on eBay that sell for about $25 each. I sent a message to one of the sellers and she says she does OK with the stuff she sells on eBay. I know there are fees with eBay & PayPal (I've sold household items before on eBay). My question is, is it even worth the trouble of posting Photos for sale on eBay? I have some great shots that I'm going to frame and put on my walls in my home but is there any money in selling these same photos?

Has any one else done this and, if so, are you happy with the results?

Thanks!

Try here first...

Selling on Ebay is hit or miss, it's a large garage sale, may work and may not...may do well one month and not the next. Most pics on there are stolen, badly printed and sold for pennies on the dollar.
