    Decided to get rid of a few duplicate HD-DVD`s I had and thought why not give Amazon a go........as prices on ebay weren`t great and Amazon looked better

    So put them up for £5 each (only cost me £3) and see what happended

    Well one sold the other day and look at the fee`s!!!

    I put my hands up and didn`t read the small print....but on-line selling is not as good as it once was IMHO

    Sounds about right. It's a tough place to sell little everyday trinket type games/videos, because of how much they take from you.

    Better off trading them in at places at the moment I would say Alan.

    I once liked selling my old games and stuff online using ebay but now i never do that. I hate the fact that its not woth it these days to sell small and cheap items like games/dvd's that are maybe only worh a few £ becuase of the fees and stuuf and your not going to make much a profit to justify selling the items.

    I'd love to sell stuff at lets say £3-4 + postage and be able to get the whole amount instead of having ebay and paypal fees or at least pay very very little in fees

    if you have a big bunch of dvd's and other low cost items, a real flea market is still the way to go. but its time consuming.
