I have bought several things on ebay before but never sold. I have alot of Italian serveware to sell but I don't know what to do about the shipping. It is breakable so I wasn't sure what to do. I have about 15-20 pieces I am going to sell but I don't necessarily want to make this a full time job investing too much money in something. Any advice would be great!

I have sold some porcelain collectibles, and crystal champagne flutes. Just make sure that you pack them extremely well, and REQUIRE insurance. That way, you and the buyer are covered!

I agree completely require insurance. It isn't too expensive from the post office.

Wrap everything you can in bubble wrap and those styro peanuts. It really adds a ton to the shipping, but its worth it in the long run!

I totally agree, require shipping and always use delivery confirmation. YOU get the money if it breaks, so you can refund the customer.
