How much does it cost for me to put some items on eBay?

For you Mamas who sell items on Ebay.. I need some help!?

• Im wanting to sell some gently used items on ebay. Ive got an account set up but am needing some more information for you guys (Figured you mamas could help me.) How do you calculate the cost for shipping? How do you choose your methods of payments you accept? How exactly does paypal work? (Ive never bothered w/Ebay nor Paypal) Any information you could give me to get this ball rolling & De-clutter my daughters baby items would be appreciated SO much! Someone suggested a scale & to go to the USPD site and get the cost of shipping there.. Just a regular scale like we would weigh on? & I had planned using Paypal to accept for payments.. How do I put this on my Ebay item?

• Answer:

  Yes that advice is absolutely right to find out the weight of the item just use regular scales. Once you have decided which postal service you're going to use you need to find out how much it's going to cost to deliver the item. You can do that by logging onto their website and looking for their shipping costs. You can also print a label from their website. If you're new to selling on eBay I don't think you have a choice, you have to use PayPal, because eBay is not going to let you use anything else. You don't need to worry about how to insert PayPal, it will just be inserted for you. Hope that helped.
