Is selling items on Ebay tricky to get into? -

I ve just recently fallen in love with Ebay. I found it scary at first (buying things) but after a few purchases, I m getting more confident with it. I was thinking of putting some stuff for sale on ebay. I m just worried. 1) Is it hard to get into?2) How do you KNOW what the shipping cost will be? Cause I can t see people wrapping the item, asking at the post office, and then bringing it home. So, how do you know?3) Any tips, or horror stories to help me decide if I should. I don t want to get ripped off, but I would like to try it. Thanks SO much

1) Not really. My dad is awful when it comes to technology, and he manages okay. I had to basically go through the process 10 - 15 times with him and now he is good to go on his own. He s been selling for about 2 years now. 2) Most people put a shipping calculator on there. We have a scale at home, so we know what it weighs. If you know what it weighs, you know what it ll cost to ship. Other times, they may just estimate. 3) If you re going to sell, don t ship until the payment has cleared. Get yourself signed up with paypal. You should make sure to pack and ship promptly and be accurate in your desciption of the item to get the best price and the best feedback. Start selling things you know about. For example, if you know about records, start selling those. You ll be able to buy them at good prices and sell them for what they should sell for. Be prepared that you ll probably get people who complain, and people who don t pay.
