I don't see any listings, sold or unsold..........are you having trouble doing the listing as opposed to actually selling the item?

Try to list 10 items a week to start with. Use very clear photos with white backgrounds. Use keywords in titles, research and see how other sellers are listing similar items and learn how they are doing it. Make sure you have the correct shipping rate. Keep an eye on your eBay fees, myeBay-account, pay any fees due everytime it hits $50. You're probably going to have funds held by PayPal for 21 days first till you've made a certain mumber of sucessful transactions. So make sure you have funds for shipping any orders. Make sure you have a packing area and material ready to pack your goods that do sell. Ship orders within 24 hours, take pride in how you pack orders. Don't give up, the more you list the more you can sell so aim for a 250 listings store but start with a smaller store subscription first then build. Use a good computer to list its much quicker, have a good camera to photograph your items. Keep sourcing so you have enough to list on hand. Start with selling items $60 and under and don't do high value items till you're more experienced on here. Give yourself set targets like listing 50-70 items a week.

There's lots of advice and tips, but the most important is:
Make sure your selling items people are actually interested in, for a price that is competitive.
You can check using your item keywords in "sold items"

Hello and welcome!

Before you start listing, read the rules and policies for selling and the terms for the Money Back Guarantee that eBay offers. Familiarize yourself with the eBay User Agreement. Links are provided below to some of these important things every seller needs to know.

Selling on eBay can be challenging but i find the rewards make it worthwhile. I would not open a store until you have over 100 items listed. Generally new sellers are subject to limits on how many items you can list per month, and/or the dollar amount you can sell. There are also PayPal holds on some new accounts. Your funds may not be available immediately.

To start off with, it is advantageous to have a postal scale so you can use eBay shipping labels. Collect boxes, peanuts, packing tape and other shipping supplies before the sale so you are not scrambling after the sale. Order a supply of free Priority boxes, padded mailers and more at USPS.

The learning curve to selling on eBay lasts awhile, so if you are in it for the long haul you should be fine. Wish you the very best moving forward. Please come back any time you need help. Good luck!
