That's just a general (and personal) overview of the campaign worlds overall.

You can improve your odds by starting your auctions extremely low ($0.01, no reserve), which attracts even more bidders; but that's a gamble if your inventory is small.
I don't know what you're selling, but if they're all commons and your eBay reputation is small, you're not going to get much.
Snipes at the last minute keep these finds "secret."
I usually bid on about 100-150 auctions at a time and win 10-30
Profit tends to run around 10%-100%, and is very hard to predict, but volume is high and your time-profit ratio is fairly efficient. I do this when I have deep pockets.
Probably more information than you wanted, but there it is.

I REFUSE to ship stuff in cobbled together boxes with poor packing, and bubble protected mailers can cost $1.00 each unless you buy in volume (I may run down to Staples right now and load up on bubble protected mailers in fact, just for this reason -- in lots of 100 I think it's about $0.60 each).
