You can list them on eBay once you've joined Managed Payments. Good luck to you.

Ebay is all about you selling your own items so..... LIST it . That is the only way to sell here.

if you want to sell your product, you can start selling on ebay. and also you can read all of selling policies. you can join with seller school program, it's very important. you can understand and study about ebay selling.

You should always sell your own items.  How you do it is up to you.  If you try to sell your neighbors items you may end up in jail.

Most people set up their selling account and start listing items.

People from Sri Lanka like watching YouTube videos, going to the seller school and coming here and asking a bunch of questions instead of doing a little research.

Really go to jail? What if I sell stuff on consignment for my neighbor or just as favor for my neighbor?

Sri Lankan’s aren’t the only new sellers that don’t do their own research and come here with questions.

Being that you're located in Sri Lanka I believe that you must first get registered with your government as a business then arrange to be able to receive payment and finally get eBay's final approval of your selling account.  After that you will be free to list your items for sale provided they can be legally sold on eBay and in your country.

Actually, depending upon the laws of jurisdiction in which you reside, selling items that you do not own for someone else (acting as an agent for them) may require special licensing especially if you receive any compensation for it at all.  I many states if you're selling an item at auction for someone else you may be required to have not only a valid auctioneers license but also a valid auction business license or be working under a licensed auction business as a employee. 

Of course, I'm not familiar with the auction laws of the OP's country, Sri Lanka.

How are you going to handle the tax situation when the IRS sends you a 1099 for all of your income including your neighbors items? What if that extra income throws you into a higher tax bracket? You might want to consult a tax professional.
