oh never send it till you get the payment!  send each person an invoice if you have not already done so...  and if you get no response in a few days  , then you   send an unpaid item notice, thru eBay, which they have to respond to within a certain amount of days and if they don't  you will be reimbursed for your listing charge and you can just re-list it... if you need more specific help let me know and I will walk you through it! best wishes!

If you are not good with websites and you don't want to or find it difficult to learn, you should find someone who can sit down and either do it for you or walk you through. Any kid can do this these days, but you should find someone who is online on a regular basis, preferrably someone who already sells on eBay. If you don't have anyone in mind who would do it as a favor, you should find someone who will help for a fee.\n\nIf you only make a few purses/ponchos per week or month, all you need is create an ebay account and list your items as an auction or with a buy-it-now flat price. If you have many items to sell, you could open up an "eBay Store." There's a monthly fee, but you'll be able to customize it, create different categories, cross-advertise your items, etc. The store makes it easier for potential clients to view everything you are offering.\n\nIf you don't want to deal with any of this online stuff, you should be prepared to share the profits. There are companies that run brick and mortar stores -- you take your merchandise to them, they'll create an ebay auction. If and when it sells, they take a fee and pay you the rest. One of such companies is called Net2Auction (link 1 below). They may not have a location in your area.\n\nAnother good place is on eBay itself -- they have a service called Trading Assistant (link 2 below). It is basically the same thing -- you find someone in your area (make sure they have good feedback on eBay and their auction listings look professional), take your item to them, and they'll sell it for a fee.\n\nThe biggest problem with the above is that these places may not want to sell your items because if the prices of your items are too low (oversaturated marketplace, not enough interested buyers, etc), it won't make sense for them to help you because their fees will eat up all the profits.\n\nBut those would be good places to start. If business goes well, then I'd go back to my first suggestion -- learn the ropes and start listing the auctions yourself and/or open an eBay Store..\n\nGood luck.

I find bargains and sell it in eBay, Amazon, and Yahoo. Don't fall for those infomercials about selling in eBay. Some books may help you. But I suggest just do a search and do your homework. Email me I can shout out some info(no, I'm not selling you anything).

Anyobdy who buy, sells, or sees a scam on ebay needs to contact ebay & paypal.  I foyu go to your my ebay page, there should be a link to their center for reporting scams.\n\nA quick tip: every spoof email from ebay I'm recieved is from[support,sales, etc.] "@eBay.com".  However, real ebay emails are from @ebay.com.  Real ebay doesn't use a capital "b" in it's sent bar.  However, this could always change, since scammers are becoming better.

Most important thing to remember: Sell products that people actually want. \n\nSelling on eBay is not as easy as some portray. In fact, go to eBay and check out the number of auctions that end without a single bid. Competition is getting tougher, as more sellers go to eBay; even the big boys are joining in the eBay marketplace. Add to that the increasing listing and final value fees. And you will find that many sellers are not making it well on ebay \n\neBay has several ways for you to determine exactly what the hot items to sell on their marketplace: \n\nItems In Demand = the most popular items currently within that particular category. To see the In Demand page, go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/sellbycategory.html  \n\nHot Items by Category Report = a monthly report that lists the fastest growing categories on eBay for the previous month. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/whatshot.html and select "Hot Items by Category" from the menu on the left. \n\neBay Pulse = "a daily snapshot of current trends, hot picks, and cool stuff on eBay". Go to http://pulse.ebay.com/ to see eBay Pulse in action. \n\nMerchandising Calendar = eBay promotes specific categories on its home page each month. Savvy eBayers know that this home page exposure results in more interest in such categories. Go to http://pages.ebay.com/sellercentral/calendar.html  to view the current Merchandising Calendar.\n\nBuying from garage sales and selling on eBay is fun, and good getting a few dollars here and there from ebay. Sometimes, you luck out on an item and hit big, but many times it will just be so-so (assuming you can even get the price you paid for it). In terms of fun factor, it is great. But from a business stand-point, it is not. Not sustainable.\n\nIf you want to earn serious money from eBay, you need to have a well-thought out business model. Selling on ebay is getting tougher -- just look at the number of auctions that closes without a bid. Go to the boards on ebay and you will hear even oldtimers complaining about how stiffer competition plus higher fees make it so much harder to sell on ebay.\n\nOne success model of ebay is the couple Jay and Marie Senese (username jayandmarie) of the 1-cent CD fame. They have the highest positive feedback number of all sellers on eBay. Their business model is to buy very low cost CDs in bulk (those that CD stores sell in their discount bins) and offer them on ebay at a starting price of 1 cent http://www.businessweek.com/magazine/content/04_23/b3886080.htm Their success is based on the fact that they stumbled on a sustainable business model with products that people really want. They sold their business -- where else but on ebay -- for $5 million! Now that is success.

Trying to get through all the information on eBay can be a challenge especially if you don't have that much extra time. \n\nFirst thing I would do is search for "like items" and see what other people have sold theirs for. If something you want to sell is only selling for $5.00 or so and you were expecting $10.00, now might be the right time to post your auction.\n\nBut there is a great alternative to YOU selling on ebay.  Using a drop-shop where they take your item and sell it for you!  They take the pictures--writing the description and shipping it out. They charge a commission of course, but sometimes it's worth it just to have a sale be hassle free!\n\nThe link below is to their main web site and you can click on whatever state you live in to see if there is a store near you.\n\nThere is also people on eBay (TRADING PARTNERS) who will sell for you too--you can find them by zip code.\n\nThere's also TURBO LISTER which is free software that you can download into your computer.  It's so you can get your auctions ready to post on eBay off line and then just upload them when you're ready to post. \n\nSomeone mentioned in an answer a few above me what happens if you don't sell something. It's true that you can list it again within a time frame (check with eBay for exact data) and if the item sells the 2nd time you don't have to pay for the ad again.\n\nWhat is correct is:\nIf you DON'T SELL the item the 2nd  time around, you pay for that ad too.

Just make sure you choose a seller with a good history.  I have bought many things on Ebay and have never been scammed because I only buy from people who have 100% positive feedback and who have sold a lot of items.\nGood Luck!

It's an excellent way to buy and sell goods but there are people out there who will try and rip you off.\n\nIt's worth reading the full text of the advert first and check what the postage is - some people will sell an item with a really low starting price then kill you with extortionate postage.\n\neBay has a feedback system where the buyer and seller in a transaction can rate the other's performance, this can be positive, neutral or nagative.  Always check this and be very wary of people with lots of negative feedback.  I generally make it a rule not to trade with anyone who has a score of less than 99.5%.  The buyers and sellers can also leave comments about the transaction - read what other people have to say about potential trading partners.\n\nIf you're selling you can impose your own rules - some sellers won't sell to people with a feedback rating of less than a certain amount or to people who are new to eBay.\n\nIf you're selling goods then only ever post them to the buyer when you haev received cleared funds - most transactions on eBay are paid for using Paypal which immediately transfers funds from the buyers account to the sellers account.\n\nWatch out for people who insist on unusual payment methods such as Western Union - these are much more open to abuse.\n\nWatch out also for people trying to hijack your account - if you get e-mails that require you to login to your account then be sure it's a genuine ebay site (the address must be ebay.com, ebay.co.uk etc).\n\nPersonally I've bought and sold well over 10,000 items without encountering any serious problems.  The worst I've had is people not sending payment once they've bought an item - the solution is not to send the goods.  There's been lots of minor problems and almost always this has been with people who are new to eBay.\n\nI for one would certainly recommend it.\n\nGood luck.

Hello Becka,\n  Your infor a challenge, I Sell on Ebay but Finding products that I can order and just sell isn't an easy undertaking, The few I got into Others followed and cut below the prices I was getting them at.

If you find a good place to Buy Products Keep it to yourself, or others will under cut to make $$. Its a cut throat industry online. \n  Also Watch out for fake Emails that claim to come from Ebay or Paypal, I get 3 or 4 Everyday that are trying to get my logon info and or credit card #'s Be Carefull, Don't log onto any linked pages Go to the Home pages DIRECTLY ONLY!!!!!

From experience, Sellers don't leave feedback until the buyer leaves a feedback.  this is so unfair.  It happened to me twice after buying merchandise from a popular online auction site.

E-bay.  I'm seeing that antiques and old stuffs do very well there.  You might want to find an expert on this topic and if the expert says you could get a lot of money for it, then go for a real auction.  Sometimes you have to be very careful about selling valuable things online.

Hey!,\n\nIve been using Ebay for going on 7 years now and ive never encountered unfix able problems i have 184 Postive feedback and no Negitives i keep it that way by when you buy on ebay make sure to check your sellers eBay Feedback, i just bought a Ipod 60gb and things went very well through paypal, so as i said make sure you check feedback of your seller that your buying from so you can be sure its not a rip off seller id advise not buying from users with under 15 feedback if u want to be safe and power sellers/ Company's are good but if they say the item is like this and its not when u receive it they could care less!, they can even sometimes get eBay to remove negative feedback, so i advise buying from average people with around 50-300 feedback so you know that there not some kind of companying that will screw you over, id say use paypal its one of the best ways its pretty much all i use all you have to do is register a free account with a credit card and no paypal doesnt do hidden fees it will clearly tell you if theres a fee for what your doing, items on ebay when listed have a 20cents or more listing fee depending on the features you assign to have on your auction, (example: buy it now, gallery photo, gift mark..ect) that about sums it up for selling and buying hope that was helpful and ill say with my years with ebay they are good at what they do! just make sure you read the description well, and watch for high shipping costs :) theres also Reserves that you cant win the item till its to a certain amount and to know if theres a reserve if u go to the item and look where the price is listed it will say reserve not meant or it will say nothing meaning its either meant or there was none, and you cant tell what the reserve is. just take pro cautions  like any online selling/buying to make sure your not getting ripped off, and in time you can figure it out well and a lot of people make livings off of buying wholesale and selling for regular. Well hope i was a help, and hope you have  great experiences with eBay! \n\nCya\nBrad

Oh my god yes!!!! It is absolutely ridiculous! I paid $64 bucks in fees like three weeks ago, and they suspended my account because there is another 56 dollars past due now. How they hell they figure that up is beyond me! It's not like I sell alot or big items. I take a loss or barely break even on most auctions. It is insane. I know alot of people who have stopped selling on Ebay because of all the fees. It's too bad they started charging for everything. I remember being able to search for something on there and getting a great deal, but now people have to hike up prices and or shipping to make even a little bit of a profit, so we all lose....well, everyone but Ebay itself. Isn't that nice?  Blech! :)

What is B-Bay? Is it similar to EBay?\nI would find a supplier first.\nI believe in selling something that you feel good about and would buy for yourself.
