Can I trade items in ebay? If yes how?

Question

I was wondering If I could trade items in ebay? If yes, how can I do that?

Answer 1

"Trade" meaning sell? Of course you can! That's what eBay is for

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.

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.

I suppose if you ask someone I never heard it was against any rules
But I could be wrong

But how would you not get robbed
Of your item?? Maybe buy each other's item but don't pay that way you will be able to complain if something go,s wrong but this is all guessing it could be against the rules, but who needs rules!!! Lol

Answer 3

No - but there are other websites that will help you like "Care to Trade" and "Swaptree" - I have never used them myself but they advertise that they allow fair trade of items and services. Good Luck!
