Selling Crap on Ebay
 

Anybody have good links to resources, articles, boards, etc that deal with the ins and outs of selling goods on Ebay?

No resources but I can tell you that if you sell stuff that the typical 12-25 year wants be prepared to start filling out non-paying bidder forms.

ebay got to be a PITA with stuff like that - you have to pay attention or else you lose out on auction fees and such.

Not too good if you have 100's of auctions goign up daily and 20% of the winning bids never pay.

My :2 cents:

Tips: Make a user name a website that's related to what you sell...

you can get around it by using _ i.e. www_yoursite_com (they won't let you use www.yoursite.com as your screen name)

Include in your auctions that payment must be made by X amount of days.

ebay has gotten better w/ ayto emails...try to put as much info on the auction as to how and where to pay...

eBay rules are to contact within 3 business days -

I've gotten complaints from people in the past (even negative feedback) who's auctions ended on a Friday night and I didn't contact them until Monday morning.

Be prepared to deal with this.
