    I wouldn't limit my selling to just ebay. I sell products on Ebay, Amazon and my own website.

    Ebay accounted for the bulk of my sales, but Amazon sales have overtaken ebay for the last year or so.

    There is one other thing to consider too. I don't know what it is you are selling but when you say that your competitors have sold 'hundreds, that could be over a number of years and their average monthly sales might not actually be much different to yours.

    That's very true. I have a listing and it shows something like '272 sold' which surprised me. However, I realised I've been selling it for about 8 years and it didn't look quite so good!
