Wrap everything you sell beautifully and with care.Also, don't worry if you don't receive feedback.Quite often people leave feedback weeks later.I've no idea why this is.I love selling on Ebay and see it as recouping some of my initial outlay only.SueSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09471221804410563557noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-61943533911541057332013-11-05T10:19:37.578-08:002013-11-05T10:19:37.578-08:00Thank you so much for these tips.

Yes, there are paypal frauds out there so one must ensure to avoid those links that come to your inbox. (I think that's what Philip was warning us of).

I've always wanted to try selling a few things on eBay, but the packaging and shipping of items seems like it would be such a daunting part of the process that I've felt too intimidated to try it.<br /><br />I know people sell all kinds of things on eBay (even furniture!), but how do they handle the shipping? How does one learn more? Then it occurred to me this morning . . . YouTube! People post all kinds of how-tos on YouTube, so I thought maybe there are some videos there with more information. And sure enough, there are dozens of videos there on how to pack and ship the items you sell on eBay! Just do a search such as:<br /><br />"shipping eBay items"<br />"packing and shipping eBay"<br />"shipping eBay"<br /><br />and all kinds of videos will come up. I'm off to learn more! Hope this helps someone needing more information. <br /><br />Thank you for all you share with us.<br />Gailnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-33099676379687671972013-10-31T07:08:40.494-07:002013-10-31T07:08:40.494-07:00it is a little time intensive that's for sure....it is a little time intensive that's for sure.the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-47080275553596644232013-10-31T07:08:09.803-07:002013-10-31T07:08:09.803-07:00oh wow, i bet you have a few tricks up your sleeve...oh wow, i bet you have a few tricks up your sleeve!the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-53440219342778061172013-10-31T07:07:45.063-07:002013-10-31T07:07:45.063-07:00no jill i haven't had any problems with that. ...no jill i haven't had any problems with that. many people sell with just their iphones. the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-70215479263970233672013-10-31T07:07:13.437-07:002013-10-31T07:07:13.437-07:00cashmere sells really well lisa.cashmere sells really well lisa.the gardener's cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16447809353998632722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2191490968189022599.post-84192242629860603222013-10-31T04:52:20.667-07:002013-10-31T04:52:20.667-07:00Thank you, Janet.
