Reply to "How to start selling"

Big-Louis (Guest)

I recently started selling on Ebay because I have a garage full of stuff to clear out! All the above are good advice. I would add the following:

1) Make it as easy as possible for people to pay - some sellers have only one or two options and this always puts me off as a buyer.

2)Decide whether you are going to accept international bids:-
If you are then make sure you post clear info that they must pay ACTUAL shipping charges. Give a choice between air/surface as there can be a big price difference on heavy items
If NOT then say so POLITELY. As a non-US bidder it always pisses me off no end to come accross a warning off in BIG letters like I was some kind of no-good pariah for not living in the USA. I am proud of my country and I resent it when I get less equal treatment than any US bum who can bid.
