Hello. For transparency, I'm going to post exactly where all
the money goes for these auctions, if anyone is interested. I hadn't
sold anything on Ebay in probably 10 years, as their fees had become
too high to make it worth doing. Unfortunately, when I thought about
auctioning these Crab Rollos for charity, Ebay was the only way I could
think of doing it, to make it so more people could have a chance at
getting one. Sorry if you had to create an Ebay login just to get a
chance to bid. If someone comes up with a better idea, shoot me an
email and let me know. Not sure how I'm going to post this, I have the
data in an Excel spreadsheet, but I'll do my best. Note: The seed money
I started with to buy these Crab Rollos comes back to me, and I use it
in another venture to raise money for Fun Coast. So $89.00 from each
sale comes back to me. Then Ebay has their fees, which includes payment
fees, and then there is the shipping cost, which was about $7.00 last
time I was selling stuff, it went up drastically.
