Selling on Ebay

Ebay is always a good way to find great deals. I began thinking it may be a good way to make a little money too. However, after a few days of selling, I realize that the fees eBay and Paypal charge outweigh any profit you can make. I know some people are very successful, but they must have a great wholesaler then. I have had very little luck and don't think it will be something I will pursue further. I was hoping it would be a better source of money...I guess I"ll keep looking.
