BEFORE TRYING TO ENTER THE EBAY MARKET,EITHER AS A BUYER OR SELLER,DO YOUR HOMEWORK! RESEARCH EVERY ASPECT OF THE MARKET! WHATS THE BEST TIME TO START AN AUCTION,OR THE BEST TIME TO END ONE...AS A BUYER OR A SELLER,RESEARCH THE DIFFERENT CATEGORIES YOU CAN LIST IN,HOW MANY ITEMS ARE BEING SOLD LIKE THE ONES YOU HAVE,AND HOW MUCH WAS THE STARTING BID AND WHAT WAS THE FINAL VALUE?

IN MY OPINION,PAY PAL IS THE SAFEST WAY TO TO BUSINESS...ITS SAFE,AND YOU DONT HAVE TO WAIT LONG TO RECEIVE PAYMENT OR MAKE A PAYMENT!ANY OTHER SOURCE OF PAYMENT IS A GAMBLE! WITH PAY PAL YOU HAVE BUYER PROTECTION!

HONESTY IS THE BEST POLICY...BUYING OR SELLING...FEEDBACK IS REALLY THE STRONGEST HANDSHAKE WE HAVE AS AN EBAY MEMBER! FEEDBACK CAN MAKE YOU ALOT OF SALES OR IT CAN RUIN YOUR BUSINESS...SOME PEOPLE USE IT AS A WEAPON!IT IS A STRONG BARGAINING TOOL IN REGARDS TO KEEPING THE BUYING AND SELLING HONEST!

AS A SELLER,IT IS A MUST TO LEARN THE DIFFERENT SHIPPING  POLICIES AND PROCEDURES...SHIPPING WITH PRIORITY MAIL YOU CAN GET FREE EBAY BRANDED BOXES THREW THE SHIPPING CENTER!OF COURSE,YOU CAN ONLY USE THEM FOR PRIORITY DOMESTIC OR INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING!YOU MAY ALSO WANT TO INVEST IN A SHIPPING SCALE AND A GOOD TAPE MEASURE.THAT WAY YOU CAN MEASURE THE DIMENSION OF THE ITEM OR ITEMS YOUR SHIPPING,(SHIPPING BOX DIMENSIONS),AND WEIGH THE BOX WITH ITEM OR ITEMS IN IT!IF YOU WANT TO SHIP USING POST OFFICE,GO TO USPS.COM AND IT WILL TELL YOU THE COST OF SHIPPING YOUR PRODUCTS!

SHIPPING INTERNATIONALLY TAKES ALITTLE MORE EFFORT THAN USA SHIPPING.ITS ALOT MORE COSTLY AND THERES ADDITONAL PAPERWORK TO FILL OUT,SUCH AS CUSTOM FORMS...BUT YOU CAN SELL ALOT MORE PRODUCTS OR BUY FROM A LARGER MARKET!

EBAY CURRENTLY HAS 27 DIFFERENT MARKETS INTERNATIONALLY!!NOW THATS ALOT OF BUYING AND SELLING!!
