Selling on Ebay

I've started up selling on Ebay again. I had to get settled into my new location and figure out the best place to do the shipping. There is a UPS about a block away and the post office is a convenient stop on my way home from work. So far I've sold 8 items this month. I'm experimenting with books right now. It's easy to list books because if you type in the ISBN number, a picture of the book and a brief description will appear. So all you have to do is list the condition and the starting price. Once in a while the book cover won't appear. In that case, a search on Google will usually find the cover image.

Items like watches, jewelry, coins, and video games seem to be popular items. With shipping prices on the rise, the smaller items are a good choice if you are looking for items to sell. I've listed a few beer cans, but taking photos takes time, and I need to get a better camera and lighting setup for doing that. It can be disappointing when things don't sell, but there is usually a reason for that. Maybe the starting price or the shipping fee was too high. Or, maybe there was just too many other similar items that were a better deal. I hope I don't buy more than I sell, which is easy to do. There is a lot of merchandise on Ebay, so if you are not the winning bidder, stick to your budget, another chance will come along to get the item you are looking for.
