A way to make digital pictures of items you want to sell (not required, helpful)

 

How selling an item on eBay works

You list your item with eBay

People bid on the item

 When the auction period is over, the auction winner is notified by eBay

The winner contacts and pays you

You ship the item

You leave feedback for the buyer

The buyer leaves feedback for you

 

A few notes of caution

Be cautious of email that claims to come from eBay. Any messages from eBay OR PayPal will also be available on the sites themselves.

eBay involves money and making smart financial choices. You are responsible for making sure you understand these transactions before you participate in them. If you have questions, please ask!

DO NOT EVER give your login, password or any banking information in response to an email or to a site that you did not go to on your own.
