Before you jump into this further, I strongly recommend spending a few hours browsing through the items for sale. Find out what sells and what doesn't. I myself spend two days looking at item after item of things for sale. This worked well for me, as I chose an item that was in demand and something that would turn a profit. Remember you don't want to spend your time and money putting items up for sale that no one is interested in. make sure your items are thing you have easy access to, or if the item is something that you will be making, all materials required must be easily obtainable. As an Ebay user, you"re ultimately responsible for making sure that your item is allowed. There is a list on the website that you make look at with a list of these items. For a brief look there are three categories.
1) Prohibited: means that these items are not to be listed on Ebay. 2) Questionable: means that your item may be listed under certain conditions. 3) Potentially infringing:means that the item may be in violation of certain copyright laws, trademarks, or other rights. Your next step is to list your item for auction. These steps will you the quickest way to list your items. There is a lengthier way, but as a first time Ebayer, I feel my quick and easy steps will be the best for you. As you spend more time on the website, and feel more comfortable, you can learn all the ins and outs of what Ebay has to offer. I myself am still learning as Ebay is always in the process of adding new things. Now, you are going to go to the Ebay tool bar on the top of the website and click on the word sell. Here is where the website will ask you for you newly required logon and password. After this is done, the website will take you to the primary selling screen. First, you are prompted to place your item in a specific category. Browse through the top-level categories below to find the best category for your item.
