    I've been selling odd bits and pieces on there, but nothing of much value so I think my charges have been pence.

    I'd try the Help Pages on ebay, most questions are answered on there, or try the discussion groups for new sellers.

    There's a sellin tutorial which is very helpful, loads of stuff you may not have thought of like offering refunds, where you'll ship too etc.

    Alternatively I will sell it for you for a small fee;)

    You get charged a listing fee to start with. The lower you start, the less you pay. You can also put a reserve price on, which I dont think costs anything, incase you wana start your item at 99p to pay the little listing fee, but you wana make sure it doesnt sell for like 4 quid :p

    You also get charged the final selling fee, but I cant remember how thats worked out :think: Like Jane, Ive only sold small things, so its never been much.

    Make sure your postage is more than enough to cover the item. And bear in mind that if you accept Paypal, they also take a % of your money, which in my experience, has been more than ebay take :)

    I think I did. I only did it once, but now I can't sign in. It's annoying because before than my feedback was 100% positive. I also have something I want to sell on there now, and I can't :(
    I'll try emailing them about it, me thinks.
