do i sign up before i sell off of ebay or can i just start selling?
do i need a credit card or any other information too? thanks. any tips would be great!
Hi, yes you do need to have an account with them in order to sell or even buy on ebay. Don’t worry it doesn’t cost anything to have the account. You do have to set up a credit card with them for purchases and decide if you want to accept your payment via paypal (which could then be transferred to your bank account; though this takes up to 4 days to do). You can also accept checks or money orders as payments but paypal is much faster.
When you do list your items for sale it’s best if you have a picture uploaded of what you are selling and that you put in the best possible description. You should also note if the item is new or used and what its condition is. Then you pick a starting price or buy it now price. If the item sells they will charge a small fee on top of what they charge to list the item. If it does not sell you can relist it and if it sells the second time they will not charge you to relist it. You also have to state how you are going to ship the item and what you are charging for shipping (must be based on weight and distance). If you do take paypal for payments they will also charge a small fee when receiving the funds. If you have any other questions feel free to email me.

You MUST accept Paypal as a payment option and cannot mention any other form such as cash or money orders. (You can accept cash for in person pickups.)
You MUST have a real credit card (not a pre-paid one) to become a seller. As an anti-fraud technique, eBay requires you to have one to prove your identity. You can also use the card to automatically pay your eBay fees.
As for selling tips. List only items that you have already figured out *how* you will ship. Yes, finding a box, packing the item up, weighing it is a pain, but much less a pain that selling it and discovering you didn’t charge enough for shipping to cover buying a box and paying for postage.

Hello,
to be able to start selling on eBay you will have to sign up first and verify your account – you can use verified PayPal for this. Paypal is the easiest as offering it for payment is pretty much a must.
So verify your Paypal and use it to verify your eBay account
