So you want a piece of the action of the largest auction site in the world - eBay. And I don’t blame you! With sales in the millions every single day it’s one of the easist way to make money online. So this article will outline step-by-step everything you need to start selling on eBay today.

STEP 1
To begin you first need to set up a sellers account. That’s easy enough to get, simply head over to the eBay website in your country and register for an account if you haven’t already done so.

STEP 2
Decide what to sell! There are literally hundreds of different categories and subcategories to choose from. The easiest way to decide what to sell is to have a look around your house for things that you no longer use. One man’s trash is another man’s treasure so they say!

STEP 3
Create your listing. If you follow along the steps that eBay provides this step should be really easy. First you’ll have to choose a category. The more specific you are the better. You can even list your item in two categories if you can’t decide.

Then you’ll need to add a title and description. It’s also worth putting a picture of the item you are selling in too as that often increases bids!

STEP 4
Choose a price to sell at. You’ll need to decide whether you’ll go the regular auction style listing - where you start at a low price and people bid higher and higher until the auction ends with the highest bid, or fixed price, which is a price set by you that is non-negotiable.

STEP 5
Work out payment and shipping. Let your buyers know how much it will be for you to send the item to them. You can either provide them with a fixed flat rate, or include a Shipping Calculator on your listing to accurately provide shipping rates to different areas.

STEP 6
Wait for your auction to end! That’s right, all the hard work is done it’s now time to sit back and wait for someone to buy your product, pay you and then for you to send it to them.

How easy is that!

No wonder there are so many people selling on eBay today. It’s easy, even a beginner can do it and you don’t even have to leave home (except to go to the post office to ship your item of course)!
