Answer 1

Your first stop should be eBay's Guide to Seller Services http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/services.html

eBay's Seller Central has all the resources you need to learn about the basics of selling on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/index.html

The key to a successful eBay selling is simple -- Sell products that people actually want.

Sell products that people actually want.

Selling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tough, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees.

eBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace:

Items In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html

Hot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left.

eBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action.

Merchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html to view the current Merchandising Calendar.

USPS has a shipping calculator http://postcalc.usps.gov/ that you can use to estimate the postage. I suggest you buy a weighing scale so you know how much your item weighs. eBay has an option in the Sell Your Item feature under Shipping wherein you only put in the weight of the item, and ebay's shipping calculator will compute how much is the shipping charge. You simply have to add in your handling fee so the buyer sees the total shipping and handling charges. This is the page that describes the eBay Shipping calculator http://pages.ebay.com/services/buyandsell/shippingcenter7.html

With Paypal, you can set it up so that the payments of buyers sent through Paypal goes into your bank account. However, Paypal will require some verification steps and you have to fulfill 2 -- e.g. add a social security number

Answer 2

I've sold a few things on eBay. And hopefully this advice helps:

1. Shipping - There really isn't a list, per se, of shipping prices. But, you can go to usps.com, and type in some specifications of the package you are intending to mail, and they will give you a price for that particular package. What I usually would do, is weigh and measure the package, and go to usps.com, and do a hypothetical ground mail from NYC to Los Angeles. You also want to include in your shipping price the cost of any shipping materials (eg, bubble wrap or boxes). Don't use shipping as a way of padding your profit. eBay is cracking down on that, and you can get in trouble for adding any shipping fees that aren't legit.

2. Paypal - You can accept payments by paypal, or you can accept payments by check or money order. Paypal is easy, because the payments get sent directly to your Paypal account, and you can pay your eBay seller fees and then deposit the difference to a checking account. The only thing is that if a buyer uses a credit card, you will be charged a handling fee for accepting the payment. The fee is something like 20 cents, plus a percentage of the sale price. It isn't a big deal for a big ticket item. Anything you sell though for under $5, you will really question whether or not it is worth accepting a credit card.

If you do decide to take checks, make sure you take them for the purchase amount only. Some people will write you a larger check, and then ask you to send them a refund for the difference, this is a scam, and you will find out later that the check they wrote you is no good. I would also wait for checks or money orders to clear your bank before releasing the merchandise (14 days is usually sufficient.)

Happy selling

Answer 3

GO to usps.com to find out shipping prices. Some sellers set their own shipping fees...like a flat $3 or whatever. You should also include handling in your shipping total...you'll have to buy the supplies like boxes, padded envelopes, tape, packing material, etc. As for paypal...If you sold to me and I paid via paypal, the money would come out of my paypal account, which mine is through my debit card/bank account. WHen it's transferred to you, they will automatically take their fees and you'll see a balance on your account. You can then transfer it to your bank account or leave it in your paypal account. You have to provide a back up source. My primary is my debit card and my backup is my bank account...which basically is the same thing obviously, but you can use a credit card for your primary. It doesn't matter. Selling isn't hard at all...just READ READ READ up on it on Ebay....good info on there. Remember, Ebay charges a fee to list your item. It starts at .25 and goes up from there depending on what you start your bid out as. If you sell your item, they take a final value fee. It isn't that much...like 5% of your winning bid.

Answer 4

First of all click "How to Sell" on the front page at eBay., that will give you the instructions how to start.

For shipping prices you need to download the eBay calculator which has the shipping fees with insurance for all three carriers UPS, FEDEX and the USPS.

PayPal payments are withheld at PayPal, were you can choose to leave it there {Not recommended} or transfer it to your checking or savings account.

Be prepare to pay, pay and PAY! the fees for listings have gone wild. Let's say you want to sell and item listed for $65.00, that will cost you approximate $11.70 in eBay fees.

Answer 5

Take all your stuff and put it in one place. Take a picture of everything - nice pictures. Upload those pictures to a picture manager.

If you get burned out with those first initial steps, then you are no ebay seller. If you liked doing that, then I am sure you can find all the answers to your questions on eBay itself.
