New eBay seller needs listing advice
Jun 16, 2012 06:00 AM

Hi... I am new here and have a TON of things that I need to sell. In addition to normal household items, I have been blessed with many people trying to help me out during a rough time, and have a LOT of vintage/antique items to list that people have given me to sell for them.  The problem.... I don't have a clue what a lot of them are worth and/or what to sell them for.  For example, right now, I have 2 boxes of vintage and antique material and lace.  Current listing range from $0.99 to thousands of dollars.  What is the best way to word my headline in order to let others know what I have and that it could be highly desirable or simply average?  I am not looking to get rich... simply make enough money to survive and clean out many personal items as well (moving from a large house into an apartment).  Any helpful advice is greatly appreciate.  Thank you!

You can start by posting photos of what you consider your best items.  Don't start individual post for each item, list several items per post. We will guide you from there.
