How do I go about selling an item on ebay?

  1. I know this is 2008 but I still have never really fucked around with Ebay.
    I have a brand new 1000w hps i want to sell on there and hopefully someone can answer a couple of my questions.

    1. How long does it take to sell?
    2. Are setting up auctions free?
    3. Do you have to have paypal.

    :smoke: If someone could help me out with this... kudos.
     
  2. 1. Depends on how long you let it run, I would say do a 1 week auction, you could also list it as "buy it now"

    2. Not sure how much, but there will be a very small charge, after it sells.

    3. It helps, I would list it as paypal or money orders, the good thing about paypal is you get your money right then, plus not everybody wants to get or send money orders, there is a charge for using paypal.


    But I kinda dislike ebay, I would sell it on Craigslist.

    Also, if I'm not mistaken, you have to have some purchases in your ebay account before you can sell.
     
  3. Go here for information.

    I live in nigeria and i would very much like to purchase _____. please end the auction early and i will send a money order in the amount of (double whatever price you're asking).
     
  4. LOL, you have heard that before too huh?
     
  5. hell no!
     

  6. you ever get someone saying this?
    "I will love to make an instant
    purchase i will be posting a certified check or cashier check to cover
    the cost of the goods while you hold on my behalf. Once you have
    this, my mover will come pickup at you place.I will be needing the
    following information to issue out the payment . . .

    1.Your Name to be on the check
    2.Your home phisically address with city
    3,State
    4.Zip code
    5.Telephone

    ** Pls not that the payment for the good will be overnight to your
    address asap. I have taken a close look at the advert and am
    completely satisfied i really need this and will appreciates that you
    help save this for me till the payment arrives as it will save me
    some extra cost**"
