I am tossing around the idea of starting to sell things on ebay. I was wondering if anyone has tips, advice or suggestions as to selling on ebay? I know it's a toss up on how your item will do- but is there anything that usually gets the most reponse? Also, how did you learn to figure out the pricing on shipping- do you visit the post office first and just learn the tricks of the trade. Sorry for so many questions, I have been buying from there for awhile and thinking of trying to sell as much stuff on ebay opposed to doing a yard sale!

The best thing to do when you are going to sell on ebay is to do a search of the item you want to sell. Check out what the item is selling for and if there are a lot of them for sale. If there are a lot it is not likely you will get a lot for the item. Also items in lots seem to sell the best. As for shipping, I use the shipping calculator and put the weight of the package in ebay automatically calculates the postage. There is a place to add your handling fee also and it is calculated in with it. Then I just use Paypal to print my shipping and pay for it.
