That's what the Seller School is all about.  You should check into it.

Have a Payoneer account

List stuff for sale.  List more stuff for sale.  And continue to list more stuff for sale.  Just start.

Learn and follow policies.

Don't dropship cheap junk from China.

Don't dropship when you first start out.  Sell some things around the house you no longer need or want until you gain selling experience.

First of all, Don't dropship.
Only sell your own inventory.

[coolections]

Sell things people want and at a price in which they are willing to pay.

All new sellers need to research everything they can about ALL area’s of eBay not just Selling

.

It is not just a matter of list, sell, send - you need to learn what to do when a customer wants to return an item, (and if the seller is drop shipping this can be a headache) and what to do if a customer claims an item is not received - again a drop shippers nightmare. Research shipping costs for off shore buyers. Do a search of eBay and see what is selling well and make sure you can match the quality and prices.

I have a read a number of posts where the new seller has no idea and is getting hit with negative feedback and unresolved cases being handled by eBay (which dings a sellers account) because they do not know the processes to avoid this.

When you ask for help on these forums, do not post and then immediately go off-line.  Stay signed in and read the replies that people took the time to give you.  (Of course, I'm talking to someone who posted and poofed, but hey...)
