I’ve been selling comics in my sparetime since 2002 but I only recently started selling them on a full-time basis. March 2010 was my first full month of full-time comic sales. It’s been a fun ride and it’s allowed me to continue to maintain this daily comics blog. Here’s a look back at the previous month.
Number of listings in eBay’s “comics” section: 1,519,844 (15.52% decrease from last month)
Number of those that are Cyberspace Comics listings: 7,119 (4.43% increase)
My “market share” of comic listings on eBay: .46840% (23.62% increase)
Number of eBay comic listings that are auctions: 88,779
Percentage of eBay comic listings up for auction: 5.84%
My current eBay feedback (unique): 11,134
My current eBay feedback (total): 23,259
My positive eBay feedback score: 100%

This month showed a large drop in eBay listings (15.5%) which may be in response to their upcoming fee increases (actually, eBay is decreasing their fee percentage but, they are now applying it to shipping costs, as well – this will effectively raise the amount of fees they collect).
