Too hav fun selling on ebay i recomend that u do sell things that u hav a great interest in thing that are ur passion or hobby products that u hav deep knowledge about or interest in . You may enjoy ebay ever more this way start with old items found around your house that u no longer use or lost interest in go on ebay and type in under keyword what the item is and   see what the market for the item is . You may be very surprised at what u can get for your item shur ebay is a world market place but it is also a super fun hobby in it self in a way.  So lets start ok go thur ur garage or attic find them old toys or car or motorcycle parts u put away 20 years ago lol ok now go on ebay and and put in the item lets say its your old bmx bike type in the make and see what there going for some times items like this are worth more if u seperate the item. Look up what the seperate parts may be going for then smile u just made your car payment lol its that easy . Ebay as a hobby is fun most of us may never be powersellers but we can still benefit greatly from ebay ,ebay not only expands your knowledge about the new world economy but also u get a interesting side befit it expands ur knowledge about people through out the world what they like what there hobby are what there needs are . OK now we listed that bmx bike we decided too seperate it because all of its components are aftermarket ie it was a custom build back in the 80s you list the frame  and forks together if they are a matched set  you list the gooseneck seperate the seat the rims and the crank  all seperate   too get more money for these items you disassembly them clean and inspect them and include in ur listing detailed pictures of the if its a crank set for a bmx bike for example youe want too take it apart and lay the pieces after you hav cleaned them on a piece of white paper and  set up a little studio and take detailed pictures of them the information you give a buyer about anything the better chance you have of getting a higher closing acution price for it and keep it real describe the item truely any faults it may have being honest is actually better then trying too hide something this will reflect on your character as a seller and will instill trust in the buyer .Now your item is selling you may hav questions from buyers answer all of them this helps increase ur auctions ending price keep tabs on ur auction watch how may people checked out ur auction on the page counter and how many are watching it . The auctions while it is running is the fun part of ebay there is nothing better than coming home and checking ur auctionad seeing the price has jumped 50 dollars while you were out renting a dvd lol . End of auction day its time too send out your invoices too your buyers and ship me personally i ship asap that day or the next at the latest if its not a sunday and thsi will get you plenty of positive feedback . People are used too waiting 2 weeks too get there items sometimes when it shows up in 4 day there gona love you for it . And rember hav fun do it in your spare time and make it as enjoyable as possible after all this is making money doing something you love too doso HAVE FUN above all and enjoy your ebay esperance .  I personally have a 100% feedback rating so far and have NEVER offered a return policy ie i dont do returns all sales with me are final and too maintain this you must be honest and helpful too your buyers after all we all make this great thing called ebay    HAPPY BIDDING  AND SELLING       RC51MAFIA
