EBAY-selling tips

I have a bunch of stuff I would like to sell on ebay, but I have never sold anything on there before and i am a bit intimidated to be honest!
I have some purses that are laying around in my closet collecting dust that i feel I can get a decent amout of $$ for, and also a TON of baby clothes w/tags.
Can any of you Ebay pros give me some tips? TIA!

Tips for selling on ebay:

1. accept paypal. I personally only accept paypal because its the safest way.
2. post a pic. Nobody will buy without a pic. Ebay gives you one pic for free with each add.
3. check out the latest items that have sold for whatever you are selling to get the best price and what price will sell..
4. communication, communication, communication. Tell buyers shipping upfront, confirm when you have sent them and I usually check back in 1 week to make sure they are happy.
5.offer combine shipping on multiple items. I've sold a couple of things this way.
6.ship as soon as you receive payment. Just like we like to receive packages in a timily matter, so do buyers.
7.be honest. Tell them exactly the 100% condition of the item. If it has a scratch, post it, etc.

Ebay is so easy. I make about $25-$50 a week on ebay. I was intimidated at first, but now, I list about 7 items per week so I don't get overwhelmed.

Happy selling!

I would use Auctiva for your listings. It's free and you can put up as many pictures as you want.
