I'd go here http://pages.ebay.com/sellerinformation 1st and read. Then go here http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/seller-non-performance.html and read.
Then go here http://pages.ebay.com/help/confidence/know-seller-policies.html and read.
After that you might want to read this again.

You did read IT before you signed up to be a member of ebay, didn't you?

I have the very same question.  I am not so concerned about listing the item, but rather making sure the paypal and all of the financial transactions are correct.  I have read all of the "required reading" and am overwhelmed.  I feel like I need to take an ebay class to get started.  Is that what ebay University is?  I am really afraid of screwing something up for a buyer.  Also, I am not excited about dealing with bad transactions.  How often does that happen to the average ebay seller?

To open a paypal acct, you need a credit card and a bank acct.

 

It depends on what you are going to sell, you will need a good scale, a tape measure and packing supplies.

 

You have to be knowledgeable about the product/s you are going to sell. If you need further knowledge, there are plenty of used books on ebay or you can borrow from your local library.

 

Selling on ebay is fun if you have patience or if you know how to deal with irate buyers.

 

Before you do al this, you need to read post #1 thru #3

 

 

Good luck! :)
