How to sell items on ebay?

How do I sell items on Amazon or Ebay? Can someone help me out please?

• I'm completely clueless on how to sell things on ebay or amazon. There are so many things I'd love to sell, but I don't know how to do it. Is it easy? Is it free to sell things or will I have to pay something?

• Answer:

  You don't pay per say on Amazon. Amazon must sell that item in order for you to sell yours. You can create a page of a new item but that does involve money and being a power seller so we will stick to the basics. Once you find your item make sure it is the exact thing. I usually just type in the UPC code but however, make sure its the same. Click the 'Sell yours here' and fill in the drop down boxes. Look to see what others are charging to get a basic idea of what you want to charge. Its normal to try to be the lowest but you'll sometimes get people who try to top you and the next thing you know you'll be paying someone to buy it. Amazon charges a commission plus 99 cents after it sells so there is no upfront fee. Keep in mind the cost to ship and packaging, you can figure that by weighing it and going to USPS postage calculator (link below). Right before you list it Amazon will tell you the amount they will give you. Deduct shipping costs and see if your happy, otherwise edit your selling price. Don't forget to adhere to the guidelines for Used vs New. And give good descriptions of your item. Its better to be as honest as possible because feedback is important.
