It's not worth the hassle with fees and ebay's bullshit.
you will get scammed and loose any profit you may have had.
also final value fees, shipping fees, paypal fees
don't waste your time sell drugs instead

Craigslist or gumtree works.

I got å zf transmission from an e34. The clutch is almost brand New. Fly wheel, driveshaft, and shift surround for under $200. I could probably sell it all for å profit but I'm keeping it for My swap

Bought 4 saab gt17's for 120$, sold for a total of 430$
C5 vette rotors, calipers, shocks made 600$ on all of em.

Yeah, it's pretty hard to turn a decent profit selling on ebay unless the item was free. Nickel and diming a lot of small items is nearly impossible now with the the shipping fees.
>don't like the shipping fees?
>offer free shipping XD

Fuck you ebay, 10% is 10%, no matter how it's calculated.

was my lucky day. I spent $90 total and made that back selling the fuel rail through a forum. All in I made $400 back.

You just need to know what's hard to find on a few popular cars and get there early.
