How difficult is it to set up auctions on eBay?

(1/5) > >>

RTSDaddy2:
My wife has some stuff she wants to sell - things our daughter has outgrown and / or that my wife no longer has a use for.  She was asking me this morning, and I told her a paypal account wouldn't hurt, but that as far as I knew it wasn't a big deal to set up and run an auction on that thing....but I thought I'd ask here to be sure.  Thanks ahead for any input / suggestions you can give us!

shmokes:
Just go to Ebay and Paypal and set up accounts.  They walk you through everything.  Only ship to Paypal verified addresses to avoid scam.

Good advice but you're still not protected unless you employ some form of delivery confirmation/package tracking.

tommy:
Don't over do your auction at the start. Try not to buy into all their crap about bold letters and all the extra options that may look good when starting to list your items. After a while all those charges add up and eat away into your profits. Try to give ebay the least amount you can for letting you list your items.

This is good advice.

All you need is paypal and Ebay. Don't even mess with accepting personal checks/cash/etc.
