Selling on eBay anyone?

[grsthegreat]

I sell stuff all the time on ebay. Especially after closing my business. Ive been selling off extra electrical Items and Generator parts. Sometimes i get more than i oaid, sometimes less. But its freeing up my shop space and i glad to get rid of it. Beets throwing it out.

I seem to remember someone was selling their SOUL on EBAY. Curious if that was Buy Now or Auction.

I've sold on ebay, craiglist, offerup, and fb marketplace. By far my favorite is fb marketplace, my least favorite is ebay.

I've looked into setting up a selling account on ebay a few times, but each time I backed out after it seemed like too much work to sell a few things. What is really required, as a minimum, to set up and start selling on ebay?

You just need to set up an ebay and paypal account, they make it easy to do all that, you'll figure it out.

As far as selling, just know that ebay will charge you around 10% (+/- depending what you're selling) of your sale price, paypal another 3% for domestic sales (5% intl). Plus, don't believe ebay's estimated ship rate, I always get burned by a few bucks that way.

Haven’t sold anything recently but found a extremely rare book (1914 - family history related) that I had been searching for decades. It was a bit more than I wanted to pay for it so I hesitated and on a whim checked ABE.com and sure enough it was listed for $50 less than the buy it now price on eBay. Likely could have gotten it for less by bidding, but decided to splurge considering I had been looking so long. People sell CDs and PDF of the book based on National Archive photocopies, but the many photos reproduced in the book are inferior photocopies.
