Ebay

I just have to say that I sold something on Ebay and now I'm obsessed. I'm listing all kinds of things to sell now. I'm hoping to luck out as my neighbor did, she sold enough stuff to buy new family room furniture! How fun, at least for now. We'll see if I think it's so fun when I have to start going to the post office or UPS all the time to ship everything.

Stacy,
I've been wanting to sell some stuff on Ebay for a long time. I'm nervous, though. Any tips??

Actually Jayme it turned out to be much easier than I thought.

The only tip I have is for shipping. A friend who has been selling for a long time on Ebay said that the UPS calculation they do on-line always seems to be off. She said when she would take it in to be shipped it was always more, so be careful of that one.

Also, I learned that the post office has Flat Rate shipping boxes. I just ordered a bunch off the internet for free! I got the at the USPS site. That way if you're shipping something that's on the heavier side it only costs $7.70 no matter where it's going and anything up to 70 pounds! Good deal!

It's very nerve racking for me, but that's because I make it that way. I just listed a bunch of stuff and now I obsess about checking on it to see if people are bidding :)
