Best thing to do for pricing is do a search on similair items like you would be selling and see how they set up their auction and if the item sold and for what. You have the search option right there on ebay, its a great resource.
Pictures and presentation is alot! And good feedback from buyers! Good feedback is a good way when you are buying too, you know if people are happy with their items they have bought. One way of starting good feedback is buying a few things first so you are not selling with 0 feedback. So it kinda gives people confidence in you, before you try to sell. Take great clear pictures of your item! Their prices have increased, not even sure what their selling prices are these days. They charge a fee for the item listing plus if you accept credit cards paypal charges for that. Most people want to use a credit card though so it helps sells to have an account that accepts them. You would just have to adjust your item price to account for fees, your cost to make a profit.
ANother suggestion I would make is have good spyware on your computer!! For years I didnt have a problem but when my account went inactive for awhile, I dont know who and how they possibly did it but my ebay account was stolen and things that were NOT mine were listed on my account. People sent money to this person too. Louis vuitton purses even, they never recieved!!!!!!!!!
I had to change my password and go thru alot to get this straightened out. My account was not effected, but it would have been if I would not have caught the activity. There ws nothing I could do for the people who sent money to the scam account. But they could take action with Ebay.
THANK GOD my paypal account was not involved!! SO have good spyware! Good luck! Its really kinda of exciting selling on there. |
I sure appreciate everyones input on this, curious on one thing if someone uses a credit card on Pay Pal and they change their mind after using it then what? How long do you wait to ship an item once pay pal lets you know?
