good practices in selling

[kudos_plaza]

Hello eBay community,

I am going to start selling on eBay.

What are the good practices I should develop as a responsible seller in eBay?

Can anyone help me in this?

Thank you.Stay safe.

I agree with all the other posters I just want this part to stand out:

If ANYTHING GOES WRONG COME HERE FIRST

Don't click anything, don't reply to anything, don't respond to cases NOTHING, till you talk to the peeps on the boards... at least till you've been selling AWHILE, or have been through it before.

Get a postal scale and order some free Priority boxes from the post office. Start having friends and family save you shipping supplies. You'll need boxes, tape, peanuts, bubble wrap, tyvek envelopes. At least in the beginning, when you are writing up a listing, pack your item up so you know how much it weighs and the package dimensions. Then you will never be surprised at the shipping cost because you are getting an idea of the cost before you list. You won't be running around after the sale, looking for suitable packaging when you are in a time crunch to get your items in the mail. You will input the weight and dimensions into the listing so eBay can automatically calculate the shipping costs for your buyer's location, wherever they are. 

eBay has a learning curve just like any job.

Good luck and wish you much success here.
