My question is, with margins like this how to these companies make any money? Do they really sell THAT many to make the high profits?
I used priority shipping small box, purchased the ebay shipping label that you can buy then print out after you make a sale on ebay, it was 6 bucks for that. I like to use faster shipping for the customers. I used the smallest box to ship it, the product weighs half a pound. USPS I'm using.Yes. They may also have shipping discounts not available to you. Plus they are buying item in bulk, so the the cost is a little less than you.
Can you get cheaper shipping?
If I recall correctly, you are in US (your profile doesn't have location). What is the shipping weight including all packaging?
I think it's because buyers trust amazon/ ebay more than they will ever trust you. Plus I think it's convenient to buy multiple items in one order from Amazon vs buying from different websites that you don't know and might scam you.Another question, whats the point of even selling on amazon and ebay when you can start a brand and have your own store, it will be more profitable in the long term. And since building a brand on ebay or amazon isn't something you should do, why not just start out with your own store / brand and build from there?

Cash flow - Amazon and eBay get a lot more visitors than your site will for a long time.
Funnel - Use your brand name on Amazon/eBay and get people aware of it. Stuff your product shipments with fliers for your brand's website.

Been researching cameras and lighting equipment, have camera picked out, looking at lighting equipment. Wont have the money to order them until the end of the week.
the real owner is the SAME guy who actually started the large corporation that I was at for 4 months. The 4 owners that own it, were hired by the guy to build the company. Then he started this company, same product, same everything really only a different business name, still not sure why hes building another one. He comes to the office once or twice a week, you would never know he was rich by looking at him, if you met him you might guess it, but he doesn't drive to work in a ferarri or wear 10k suits. But he probably has 80 million in the bank.
Think of eBay as a search engine. Your goal is to be top for your keyword. Things that help are being powerseller, offering free shipping, having long return period with no fee, receiving good feedback/DSRs, and shipping out sales fast.
Every one of these factor into where your listing shows up in a "Best Match" search.
I'm not happy with the pics that are coming out
The background doesnt look very white, even though it's a white background. The curtains for the background have a lot of wrinkles in them, not sure how to get them out, ironing them doesnt help much it just made the wrinkle more detailed.
Perhaps ebay is about price and nothing more.
Learned fotofuze, interesting, the whole point of buying a camera and lighting equipment is to put the shine on the object itself, to bounce as much white light on the object as possible, the background is irrelevant because you just edit the background with fotofuze afterwards?This website will help change the background.

Interesting, I'll try it.The plain white background gives a professional look to the photos with no distractions. Amazon requires your main image to have a white background.
On eBay, you may want to try solid backgrounds of different colors. The colors will cause your pics to stand out if everyone else has the same thing.
