I do sell items on Ebay. I've done so over the past several years. Only recently have I decided to list more than a couple things at one time.

We are considering a relocation and with that I am passionate about not moving any more of our belongings than we really want and need. I am planning on participating in a city-wide garage sale next weekend and have many, many things that can be sold at garage sale prices but some things can definitely fetch more $ on Ebay.

As far as hints (things I've learned the hard way):

* Be certain your starting price and what you charge for postage will at least cover your fees. Operating at a loss is a bummer!

* Do research on the internet! There are tips galore about how to avoid mistakes in listing.

* If you are planning on selling for profit, it may be worth it to purchase tools such as templates (I found a good and easy one, write to me if you're interested in a link to the site). I just purchased a French mannequin for clothing sales...

* Take quality photographs.

That's all I can think of right now!

I just started a few weeks ago. I don't have many tips, since I'm new, but I've been really happy with the results. I've done baby clothes. I'm starting the bid at $1 and usually do $5 in shipping.
