Auction Power Guide

I have baby items to sell, mostly designer clothes. What do I need to do? What are the costs involved? Do things like baby clothes sell quickly usually? I appreciate any tips and advice. Thanks!

As an eBay seller for 11yrs here is some advice as to what you do

To sign up for an eBay seller account you must list a credit card and/or bank info . Register also for Paypal
Most buyers pay through paypal and you would want to offer that on your auction.
Accept credit card payments, echeck payments through paypal with a CONFIRMED ADDRESS ONLY and ship only to that confirmed address or you might get taken by shady buyers .

Do not ship your item until all payments clear.

ebay charges a listing fee,designer fee, final value fee
Paypal charges a % of the sale . All in all your total out of pocket will come to approximately 6% -10 % of your auction

Generally shipping is paid by the buyer and you can use the ebay shipping calculators for estimates.

You can also include shipping in your sale too.

You need to have an opening minimum bid listed

You can list your auction with a reserve or not
a reserve is the absolute lowest amount you will take for the item but is not outwardly made available to the potential buyers – you as the seller will be charged a fee by ebay to list with a reserve

You can also list a BUY IT NOW price ( ebay charges you a fee for this) This is an outward purchase by the buyer.

Most people list for 3-5-7 days.
Hint : most auctions end on Sunday evenings

Good luck in your endeavors ..Welcome to eBay !

okay well, im looking for some who knows about usps or sells on ebay who might be able to shed some insight on this,
I’m gonna start selling on ebay , what I’m trying to figure out is how the shipping works, I’m trying to do this in the most convenient way,
basically my questions come down to this, I understand taking merchandise to the post office & shipping the items out to customers, that’s obvious ,what I’m wondering is how does the shipping from home work??
Can I just give the package to the mailman when he comes during his route to deliver mail? is there a limit to how many packages i can ship from home? can i package the items in any type of box & just slap the label on there & ship it? do i need a package scale, or what do i need to determine cost to ship individual packages from home? please, i would really appreciate any information from anyone who knows about this stuff! thank you guys

eBay has a function on your seller summary page where you can print postage labels.The postage fee comes out of your Paypal account, where the customer has already paid you.

You can give your packages to your mail carrier.

No limit on the # of packages you can ship from home.

You can use whatever packaging you like, that makes sense of course.

Check out my ebay store http://stores.ebay.com/Vickis-Little-Jean-Shoppe
There is a HUGE difference in price by the type of shipping that you use! I picked up these yugioh cards at a garage sale for only $8.00. Please check with your kids before you sell them so you can find the good ones and tell the buyers about what you have, I was lost haha
