Ummm- selling 5 quarters for $1.04 does not seem like the best business plan.

Your asking price should always cover all your costs and preferably have enough markup to make you a profit.

Many of your items may sell better as Fixed Price items. Stores are designed for those of us whose stock is large but slow moving.

You can of course offer a mixture of auctions (your better $25+ cards?) and FP for the low end commons and for lots.

In my opinion, it is not worthwhile selling anything for less than $10. Fixed eBay and PP fees plus 9% FVF on selling and shipping prices plus your time and other handling costs.

If you have a card that will not sell for more than a loonie, then perhaps it should be part of a lot and not offered as a singleton.

Apparently, the sell through rate for eBay is around 40 %. If you are selling only 4 out of 1000, you have to look at what you are offering and decide if your category is suitable.
