Ebay Reviews

Ebay - Spending time on the internet, like I probably do too much, I never got
interested in Ebay.com. However, the story has changed in the last month, and I
am finding it a great way to sell things that I don't need or want anymore.

My first attempt at using ebay was selling a framed print. I never had liked it, nor the
frame, so I got my digital camera out and took a few pictures of it. I felt it was worth at
least $75 so put a reserve on it for that amount. A reserve is when you will not accept
less than that amount. Well, the highest bid was $26, and I still have the picture. That
experience taught me that it is better, in most situations, not to put a reserve on an
item. I would have been happier with the $26 than the picture still in my closet. That
was a good lesson learned.

A few days later I decided to get rid of my old computer monitor and two Dish Network
satellite receivers. The monitor didn't even have a bid on it, but the receivers I got
$150, and they were the older version, and of course the buyer pays the shipping.

Now I am getting excited about ebay, so I sold a printer that I didn't need. Remember,
I replace them when the cartridge is empty and with the rebates available, the $21.50
that I got for the printer made it basically cost me nothing. The buyer was happy, sent
me a money order, and I sent it on to the person he bought it for.

At this point I have been looking around my house for those dust collectors that I
have no place for, and found three brand new Murano glass figurines. Two have
already sold, and one the auction has not closed.

Right now I have two more printers that are being bid on, and frankly it is fun. Like I
said in my title, it is like a big garage sale.

Ebay required you to register and give them a credit card. They don't do this for free.
However, the prices are really reasonable. The last printer that I just listed with no
reserve cost me a total of $1.40 to list it. That included a larger picture. The smaller
ones are included. I have found that the extra $1.00 is well worth it, as more people
seem to want to get a better view.

Once an item has sold there is a fee that is on a sliding scale:
$25.00 or less 5.0% of final sale price

$25.01 to $1,000.00, $1.25, plus 2.5% of final sale price over $25.00

$1,000.01 or more $25.63, plus 1.25% of final sale price over $1,000.00

If you are a buyer, there is everything that you could imagine. I saw a listing for 5,000
pieces of children's clothing still with tags on them for $500. People even try and sell
their houses, and I have enjoyed looking at the artwork. So far, I am only a seller.

My items have cost me very little to sell, and I have enjoyed every minute of my
on-line garage sale.

You seriously might want to try it! It's fun!
