Every now and then some products are added to inventory that just won't sell. Often they sit and collect dust as they are relisted, placed in the eBay Store, and finally just left on an empty shelf. If you are trying to amake money on eBay, you are not making a profit when merchandise is allowed to sit unsold. In fact, the value is probably just going down every month that the merchandise sits unsold.

Maybe the seller paid $5.00 for the item. After listing it multiple times, all of a sudden the costs associated with the item have grown to $8.00 or $9.00. Sellers who amake money on eBay know that even if they have invested $9.00 in an item that will not sell, they are better off to turn it into cash, any amount of cash, than to allow it to continue to collect dust.

Even if the item only sells for $1.00, that $1.00 is better than an item that cannot be sold.

So what do you do? Accept your loss. To amake money on eBay means that the seller also needs to look for the lessons that have been learned. Was the item purchased without conducting adequate market research? Has the marketplace changed? Is the product from a new supplier and not really as described before it was purchased by the seller?
