if you have a ebay account then you must have a paypal account,,if not then do set one up,,its easy and fast,,after you do that then your in bussiness,,,just remeber the title is most important so dont misspell it and think on the best way to desribe it in 15 chareters or less,,,example UPS socks or united parcel socks,,,

if you click on sell your item you will get walked thru and its easy,,,do pay 35 cents to post a preview of picture in the search list as if you have looked for a item you see a small picture in the search list and ignore the one that dont have them so you dont want to be ignored on your list,,if its a popular item and can be dercibed in two catogorizes then pay the extra and you will get much more hits,,,I find that alot of kids like to search the bizzare section and they like to buy so I add my items in that second catagorie,,it pays off in the long run but if the item is cheap then it wouldnt be worth it as it cost a extra dollar to post in 2 catagories,,,also make sure you describe it as what it truly is and indicate all defects scratches ect,,, if your buying something you would expect the same now wouldnt you,,, when you click on seel the pages walk you thru the proscess,, make sure you click on paypal and verify the email adress paypal will send the money,,, very important because one you clcik post that cant be changed,,,if you start your price cheap then that will attrack more buyers and its smat to keep the price low and if need be make it up on the shipment price but know this many people shy away from hefty shipment cost,,,,,,, make sure you go to usps site and see how much it would cost to ship to the state farthest away from you and to make it easy on your list just charge that,,if you want ebay will put in a shipment calcuator for shipment price but that isnt a good idea because you will eat the box and padding price,,just charge a flat rate,,, make sure that if its a flat rate then only ship in the usa,,if you charge 5.00 dollars for a card and someone buys it in china your eating that cost,,,during listing setup it will ask you to click where you ship and just click usa only,,,its really easy and once you do it then your a pro,,good luck and happy selling
