Should I sell at a loss?

[JAMES-L67]

Hey guys,

So I have an item in my store that brings in HEAPS of traffic (my highest on average) and steady sales. The problem is, competition is high, and with the AUD being weak against the USD at the moment, I barely make any profit (or even sometimes I lose) after postage/fees.

The dilemma is, these items bring 4 times more traffic to my site than my 3rd highest does. Should I keep bringing them in even though I'm not making anything off them?

Would love to hear your thoughts,

James
