Well,I asked about using ebay just over a year ago,and many IIS helped me get started and set up,I did the set up and have bought some good gear,and also stock for selling-everything has gone well.
I have never sold anything on ebay,until this last week,but finally got around to setting up the selling part,I had heard it was difficult,which put me off doing it for a while.But it turned out well to set up.I put my first three bits of shed junk up-and two items went well.So was most pleased.A chap on another forum gave me some good useful information,which may have taken me months to figure out.
There are a few bits of information I need to know,and maybe others I do not know about,so feel free to give me advice.One thing I was not aware of,untill an IIS member pointed it out,when people pay via paypal it does not go into account paypal is connected too,one has to transfer it in -fees apply.No drama-only smallish amounts up to $100,may as well stay in paypal until I purchase something else,if much larger amounts will transfer it over,what are the fees?
Also,when I have sold something,and the buyer has paid,I checked all looks good,but when do the ebay fees come out of transaction?? I thought the automatically came out once paid via paypal.
Anyhow,for my first demo run,I did not hit any stumps,might even be able to clean up around some sheds and make a small amount out of this ebay.If experienced IIS members would like point any other aspects on selling on ebay-be most thankfull.I had the items listed for seven days-feeling ten is better?? or even a two week option (not sure if there is a two week option)
Anyhow thanks for any pointers
cheers Chris
