Cool, I thought I had read something some time ago when I was researching about this where you basically had multiple chances to sell something without getting hit with too much in fees.

So, then, to start out if one wants to build up some reputation and feedback etc., choose say up to 10 items at a time that are somewhat simple, interesting but not too expensive and list them up to $9.98 and only have to pay $3 in listing fees. Then hopefully you might have a couple items that will sell for enough profit that you will recoup your costs and expenses and hopefull make a little profit also.
