Selling Information on Ebay - Good Idea???

InsideInsurance

Your challenge will be the return in investment.... the effort to list all of these things, keep up to date with their prices, have to pull listings when your retailer withdraws the offer and having to deal with negative feedback when the retailer withdraws the offer immediately after you sold the listing.

I would also be surprised if the margins were better than effectively doing drop shipping using your vendors and whilst you may take the occasional hit on margin at least it stops the negative feedback issue.

Dumb question but wouldn't you put in your listing where you can get it cheaper and then anyone who views it can just go and find it themselves without paying?

Besides, it's not very hard to run a price comparison or shop around on the internet.

The information would be sent on purchase of the 99p fee (not written in the listing. Just the info staing xx dvd box set for xx price)

And, you would think so, but there were people buying off ebay for 70/80 quid, some people don't have the knowledge or inclination to shop for a cheaper deal like some of us.

TBH i do think it's a but of an idea thats gonna go bust. Not ruling it totally out, but not number 1 on my hit list.
