Selling on Ebay – Is Fixed Price with Free Shipping the Answer?

I decided today that I would suck it up and just work within the parameters of the convoluted rigamorole also known as eBay’s Best Match.  If you sell on eBay (or anywhere else really) you know that getting seen at the top of a search is what it’s all about.  Best Match is eBay’s way of matching the [...]
