treading water

    I sell low value stamps but now I am concerned I am treading water when I balance out the cost of the stamp initially, my time identifying it, my time listing it only to have efforts reduced to a few pence profit due to the fees, as a result of this I have to increase the value of my stamps to compensate the fees I pay. Seems like inflation affects a lot of people these days , some more than others, so I am passing the rises on to my customers as cheaply as I can, thank you

    I'm in very much the same position but as it's definitely not a business for me I perhaps don't feel it quite as sharply. However, it does sometimes seem more trouble than it's worth.
    Happy Christmas and wishes for a better (trading) New Year!

    Glad to hear I am not the only one in this boat suffering, guess a small tickle is better than nothing plus it keeps my mind active, happy festive season and thank you for the reply
