There are sooo many of you here that sell on ebay, and I have been thinking about it, but have been a big chicken. Just reading your suggestions for others has me realizing that I know even less than I thought I did about how to go about doing it! I've bought on ebay a handful of times, but never sold a thing, and think I would like to. Let's just say reading your input up till now and reading their instructions & rules has been overwhelming and intimidating! So here goes....
How do you know what will sell?
How do you know what it will sell for?
I have some collectibles that I tried to research on ebay, but couldn't find many past sales to indicate their worth and the info out there online is contradictory, so how do I know if I should pick a reserve price or a minimum bid or what?
Do you sell small things (like clothing or collectibles in lots or separately? How do you decide?
How do you make sure that it is cheap enough for others to think it's a bargain, and still make it worth your time and money to post it with ebay and ship it?
How do you know how much it will cost to ship, without taking it to the post office/mail place/UPS? Do you have a scale?
I tend to only purchase w/ CC thru paypay and I understand it costs more if you are a seller and have this option. Do you really get any interest if you don't offer CC paypal?
Any other suggestions? I really need to do this, but am very chicken and keep saying I will, but never do. Help me get started! Thanks!
