How do I sell things on ebay? -

I have lots of books for college to sell on ebay. I need help knowing how to get started.

http://www.half.ebay.com/textbooksHalfCom may may be a better choice to sell used textbooks, so explore that eBay company first. The instructions below apply to eBay itself except for the USPS links.Create an eBay seller s accounthttp://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/seller_a��To start selling safely and inexpensively on eBay; take up to five easily-mailed items from your closet, garage or basement that you no longer want, but think might sell. Books should be sent USPS Media Mail for the lowest shipping cost. Take a picture of each (if you don t have a digital camera, borrow one).http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/insertio��FIVE Single quantity Auction-Style listings with no upgrades, just a Single picture and as long a description as you want qualifies for FREE Insertion every 30 days. Set the starting bid for the lowest you ll accept and if they don t sell, you PAY NOTHING.http://pages.ebay.com/help/sell/fvf.html��The MOST you ll pay in Final Value fees will be 8.75%.https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cm��Eventually, you ll have to upgrade your Personal PayPal account to a Premier so you may accept payment from your buyers. Each sale costs 30 cents plus 2.9% on the total (including shipping) received from your buyer.Determine correct postage in advance and ALWAYS include Delivery Confirmation on any sold items when you ship with the USPS (Post Office). It adds less than $1 to the postage and is your ONLY protection against item not received claims.http://postcalc.usps.gov/http://www.usps.com/shipping/deliverycon��Five plain, single item auctions a month is an easy way to get your feet wet on eBay. Do that every 30 days until you re comfortable with eBay, PayPal and your Post Office. Don t expect to make a fortune.
