Hi, I have thought about selling on Ebay also, and was happy to see your post here. I was wondering about Pay Pal, is that easy to set up and what does others think of Pay Pal? I have never had a yard sale or garage sale, have donated things to Cerebal Palsy or other organizations. Friends have mentioned that I should check out Ebay, so I would like to find out all I can about it and see about selling on there too. Maybe after we get moved, I will be able to find time to do for others it might be fun getting a ittle business on Ebay of my sewing and knitting, and maybe eventually my paintings Thanks again for bringing this up.

Wow just read others posts, we have two vehicles wanting to sell, how do I find this on ebay?

Paypal isn't difficult to set up. There is a link to it from ebay. You can enter credit card info (for paying others) and bank account info for sending payments and receiving payments.

Just remember.....paypal doesn't charge for you to send payments but it does charge for you to receive payments. Ebay also charges a listing fee for your auction and a "final value" fee if the item sells.

So when you set a reserve on ebay, don't forget to take into account ALL fees that are charged - Ebay listing fees, final value fees and paypal fees. This can take decent size bite out of you winnings.

Hmmmm so like if I listed and sold a forty dollar item then after all the deductions what might I clear? Is it really worth selling there? Have you sold things there? Thanks for your input on this, I appreciate it.

Its not too expensive. They take a small fee (like $0.30) then a percent. So on a $40 item it might be like $3 to $4 or so. Not bad. Just make sure you account for the fees.

On ebay and paypal check the fees charged page for the details.

I just sold a car on ebay a few weeks ago. Fees are different for cars than small items but it was worth the cost to me.

Theres always many bids on lots of childrens clothes. I have bid on childrens clothes. I have never sold anything on there but my son has sold his old hockey gear on there. My daughter has some clothes that I got from better department stores and when she outgrows them I am going to sell them on there
