try asking your question in an eBay forum, or am I harsh on this now?

@Waz - Start by buying to build up your confidence and positive feedback. Then sell some low value items to build up your credibility. You have to get people to trust you. Accept payment in as many forms as you can.Dra - Yes, you're too harsh. ;-)

Thanks. And what about payment? And shipping?

Posted by batesie
ebay does explain all the forms of payment and how to charge shipping costs.

Offer as many payment options as you can; choice inspires confidence. What, specifically, do you want to know about shipping?

Posted by Wazuki
How long does it take to/from Europe Russia, how much is it and who pays for it.

Posted by absinthebri
Shipping within Europe is generally efficient (takes up to 5 days) and relatively cheap. Shipping is usually paid by the buyer (and don't rip people off - too many sellers do). You need to familiarise yourself with Customs & Excise conditions which vary from country to country.

Thanx ALOT! And what is the best stuff to sell to earn sum funds.

Posted by absinthebri
The best stuff to sell is what people want to buy! ;-) Have a look around eBay to see what's popular.
