Answer 1

Ok you will need to signs up on ebay as a seller and give them either bank details or credit card and they will take their fees from that bank details.
They charge you to list things which is as cheap of $1.00 to whatever you want to pay. They also take i think 3% profit.
Its best if you get a paypal account www.paypal.com as it is extremely safe and it gives you and your clients piece of mind that if anything goes wrong you are covered by paypal (they also charge you a small fee on transactions ( less than $1.00 usually).
If its digital photos you email them to the client, make sure you keep a copy of email until they have given you feedback so that they can't say they didn;t recieve it.
I find that if you list things and have them finish on a sunday evening when people are mostly home you get better bargaining at the end of auction then something that end while everyone is at work.
Hope this helps a little, my husband and I sell heaps on stuff on ebay and have made a good little business out of it.

Answer 2

About all I can tell you is that any questions that you may have are probably right there on the site. They have a lot of helpful answers. If you don't see an answer to your question, you can contact someone to help. It's rather pricey to sell some things on ebay, but if you want them sold, well it can be worth it. I've bought and sold on ebay, and all I did was take the time and the determination to check out what needed to be done. As far as uploading photos goes, once you tell them you want to sell something, you'll be walked through the steps including uploading photos. If you tell them that you want to be paid through paypal, it is safe, but I've heard that they can be slow.

Answer 3

Ebay has some great question and answer facilities on their website. I know it's probably easier to write an answer here for you to read without having to get on to the website and have a look but I would do some research first directly with them. I am not sure if the same rules and regulations apply to Ebay in every country or whether they are different (as I am in Australia).
I love Ebay, it's nearly as bad as my g/f's addiction to buying shoes.
