Ok…. To start slow…. Ebay is a great place to sell things. its better to start as a buyer and learn get a feel for the site. First, go on to ebay and type in the BUY section what it is you want to sell. this should give you an idea of how much it will sell for. take some nice pics. now you are ready.
now go to the item similar and on the right side under where it says WATCH THE ITEM it says SELL SIMILAR i do not like to do Buy it Now when I sell, so chose the standard auction format. if its a videogame or a movie do a 5 day auction. if its a cell phone or a camera a 3 day is fine. if its anything else you should really check out how good of shape it is in and decide if its worth your time. ebay will do a good job of walking you thru. Make sure the pics you are putting in are clear and not too big as far as pixels go. ALWAYS use the Gallery feature.
Be honest in your listing, mention you have not had the item long. etc. etc. etc. tell the story of how you got it and why its for sale. the story sells the item. be brief, though.
You must sign up with paypal first. its the safest way to pay and receive payment. go to www.paypal.com and sign up, have your banking info ready. it will take about 3-4 days to verify your checking account, but it is worth it. you can then use paypal for other things too, like wireing money for FREE. Paypal payments are received immediately to your paypal account and deducted immediately from your checking. money in your paypal acct can be used to pay for items on ebay or can easily be transferred to the afore mentioned verified checking acct.
happy selling, and remember to check peoples ratings!!!!

All the info you need is on eBay’s website, and you can read it without having to sign up for eBay (if you don’t think you’re ready to do that).
Here’s their “Getting Started” page:

and here’s their “Selling Basics” page:

….I’ve been using eBay for years and have found a simple and free way to successfully sell almost everything I’ve posted. Now, I don’t work for this site and I sure as heck don’t get paid to endorse it either, but http://www.auctiva.com/ is as good as it gets when it comes to posting high quality listings.
Some of the great features Auctiva has to offer include:
•It simplifies the process of posting and managing marketplace listings and makes it extremely efficient
•It gives sellers a way to build brand and merchandise products through customized stores, scrolling galleries, templates and emails
•It helps sellers communicate with their customers, turning individual sales into long-term customer relationships
•It offers free, almost unlimited, super sized image hosting, which would otherwise cost additional fees when using eBay’s normal listing service
•And it makes your auction listings look extremely professional, whether you’re a big-time business or just the “average Joe” trying to make a buck!
I can’t emphasize enough how useful Auctiva has been throughout the years. Whenever my family or friends see the auction listings I have “created”, they are amazed and awestruck at the colorful templates, scrolling item menus, gigantic clear photos and, most of all, my own personal virtual storefront! Now, of course, I don’t take all the credit. I let them know exactly how I created my auctions and they’ve learned to use Auctiva to their benefit as well!
If you’ve been using eBay for awhile or are just starting out, definitely give Auctiva a try. You won’t be disappointed and it’ll make your eBay experience much more fun and satisfying!

where is the best place to buy at wholesale prices or less to sell items on ebay, for example health products
iv visited many wholesale sites where you can buy items, but how can one really buy at the lowest prices.. better to buy in bulk? how do these people on ebay sell there items so cheap and make a profit.
thanks a lot , if anyone ansewers this,, Jim
admin answers:
The reason why people on Ebay can sell for such a low price is because they go to the TRUE wholesale sources. Not people who purchased products from the source. Get a business license and tax id and you should be able to find some good wholesale sources who are willing to deal with you.

How long does it take to sell items on ebay?
I was thinking of selling some of my anime,Yugioh Cards and other stuff on ebay and I was wondering when I put it up, how long will it take? Days,Weeks,Months? I don’t mean Bidding I mean “Buy It now Items“. So will it take a long time, because I don’t want it to be very long?
As well as, does it take long to write the description?
Sorry I mean does the description take long as well?
admin answers:
The description can be as long or as short as you decide for it to be.
As for the buy it now ad it will run for the amount of time you set it for for example if you set it for a week then it will end after a week unless someone buys it before that..how long it takes for someone to buy it..well there really is no answer for that it all depends on if someone wants it
