Selling on Ebay?

penelope · **Selling on Ebay?**

Excuse me if these questions have been asked already. I have an Ebay account. I have a paypal account hooked up to my checking account. I do not have a camera. How hard is it to sell stuff without a camera?

It's not whether it's harder, but more about how much money! You'll get bids, but it may vary since you don't have pics. You may want to invest in one after you start selling

Can you take pics with your regualr camera, then have walmart put them on a disc for you?? You can get a disposable camera very cheaply. Then upload them to your computer and post them on ebay. I personally like to see exactly what it is that I'm buying and probably won't buy from anything that doesn't have at least 1 pic in thier auction.

I also probably wouldn't buy something without a icture

I have to agree that I will not buy anything without seeing a picture first. My son has a pretty cheap digital camera that takes decent pictures. I believe it was only $20 at target. It's not real fancy but at least you would have a picture for your listings.

Ask yourself this question:

Would you buy something from a stranger on Ebay without a picture of the item you are purchasing?

Would you purchase something out of a store without handling it first but go by hearsay only?

I agree with the other posters; take a picture or pictures of the item/items you want to sell, have them transferred onto a disk and the upload those pictures into your auction write up.

I think it would be a waste of time if you didn't

HOWEVER, if you are selling something like a toy that you can look up online, look up some pictures of it online; copy and save that picture on your computer and upload it into your auction. Be sure to mention that the picture in the auction is a stock photo and also be sure to describe your item perfectly.
