Best month to sell on Ebay

[Teacher03]

I am planning on listing items on Ebay to help fund our upcoming June trip to Disney. I have sold some in the past, but was wondering if there is a better month to sell than others. I am listing Cricut cartridges, DVDs, Vera Bradley, and scrapbooking items. Thank you for any help.

My best months are Nov and Dec. Christmas gifts....I sell mostly new items. I don't even bother any other time because with Ebay fees and postage costs it isn't worth it.

If you have items that someone wants to buy it doesn't matter what month you list it. It will sell if it is not priced too high. The Ebay seller fees and shipping are going to cost the same no matter what month you sell it.

One thing I can say, that saves me time and money when selling on Ebay and other sites is, I print my shipping online, either through Paypal or directly through USPS. Usually right from the Paypal website, and doing it online you get free delivery confirmation and free postal carrier pick up, as long as you are shipping Priority, which I do. It's just a few pennies more than Parcel Post but 4 times faster shipping. I save a few bucks every time I don't have to drive 12 miles to the post office and back.

I would wait until at least the beginning on February. Right now everyone is sick of Christmas shopping, and feeling the post-holiday pinch on the budget. I tried to list a few things around this time last year and it was a waste. By February they start coming around again, and by March it's pretty much 'back to normal'.
