·9 months agoThat’s a great idea😊! Subway Surfers collectibles have a strong fanbase, especially with how iconic the game’s characters and designs are. Items like character figurines, limited-edition artwork, and themed accessories (like boards or coin replicas) tend to do really well. You might also notice renewed interest whenever new updates or seasonal events drop in the game.

There is a lot to learn about selling on ebay, before you list your first item.
To get started scroll to the bottom of this page click on the Start selling button and click on the links in each article. There is a lot of reading you have to do.
Some basic tips:
When you go to list your first item look on the page for which Listing Tool you have been directed to The quick/basic tool will force you to have a Best/Make Offer button on all of your listings. There is a Business tool which makes that and other things options. Ignore the blurb about it being only for businesses or high volume sellers.
Select a shipping method and service, it is best to use Calculated shipping, so each buyer sees the cost to their location. Unless you are selling very large/heavy items, USPS is the best method. You can offer 1st class for items that when boxed weigh less than 13 oz. You can offer Priority shipping as well as a first or second option for those impatient to get their items. For larger/heavier items USPS Ground Advantage. Whichever service you select first when setting up your shipping rules is the one that will be displayed and the cost given on your listings.
Select a return policy. If you do not accept returns your listings will get lower search placement. If your do not describe an item well or it gets damaged lost in shipping, ebay's money back guarantee policy will trump your no return policy. Read the info in the link below.

You will also need to get a digital scale, and boxes large enough to fit your items, and packing material for items that may need it. You can get USPS boxes for free on their site, buy them online if the USPS boxes are too large/small, or start begging for boxes from store clerks. Before you list an item have it prepacked but not sealed so you can measure and weigh the items so the shipping calculator can give buyers the correct cost. If you have a lot of the same types of items Ex: carded figures or Boxed sets. You can create a template for them to make listing items easier. You can select the shipping rules and your handling times you want to use for the different types of packaging you use.
If you have a safe secure out of site place to put items, you can also arrange for pickup from he P.O. or talk to your regular carrier about it. I have a sleeve I slip over my out going flag that indicates I have items to be picked up. It's made of a bright colored card stock. that it taped over to keep it waterproof. If you talk to your carrier they can put the item location and what the sleeve means in their route notes, for substitute carriers.
To find out how to best present your items Do a search for Subway Surfers in the Toys and Hobbies category. Open a bunch of listings and read through them so see how the listings you would buy from look and read. Look at the titles to see how they are written. Make sure your photos are CLEAR. For New In Box/Card items take photos of all sides. For pre-owned items take photos of all sides of them and if there are any flaws, try to photograph them, or describe them in writing. When you go to enter your photos there should be some editing/cropping/rotating tools. Use them!
To get an idea of what an item is trending at, click on the Advanced button to the right of the main Search button at the top of most ebay pages. On the page that opens enter a search title for the item Ex: SUBWAY SURFERS GAME SUB SURF SPRAY CREW 4" VINYL FIGURE - JAKE SPRAY CAN Select Toys and Hobbies as the Category, and check the sold/completed listings buttons. Prices in green sold, those in black did not sell.
One last thing. As a new seller ebay will place a hold on your first few payments, until you prove your self as a reliable seller. You will know payment has been received when you see your payment status marked as Pending. When you ship your item, if you print shipping labels through ebay a tracking number will automatically be uploaded, If you take items to the P.O. save the sales slip and manually upload the tracking number to the Sold listing, there will be a button on it for doing that. Once tracking shows delivered. Your funds will be released.
