Good thing I never kept track of what I spent or I might have gone in to cardiac arrest :)<br />Please be upfront about shipping and don't gouge buyers. That was the one thing that I detested!<br />Pug hugs :)<br />LaurenRugs and Pugshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17084387971128823025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672494823986294664.post-52268825981175673882011-08-26T07:13:52.840-04:002011-08-26T07:13:52.840-04:00You're not alone is being nervous about the wh...You're not alone is being nervous about the whole Ebay thing. I want to start selling my yarn and maybe even rugs on Ebay or Etsy...I keep freezing up as well. I guess the only way is to jump in, expect some bumps, and look forward to a little extra cash coming in!

I...Glad to hear Trixie is behaving so far, Lisa!<br />I've sold a few things on ebay~ a couple of them were quite heavy and I used the "shipping calculator"~ you just weigh the item (or guesstimate) and if someone is interested in the item they put their zip code in to figure out the shipping costs. Or just use those new boxes from USPS that have a flat rate for the size of the box. ("If it fits, it ships!")Paulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02693565002250035794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1672494823986294664.post-78970849624205297812011-08-25T23:10:06.833-04:002011-08-25T23:10:06.833-04:00Lisa - don't let eBay scare you - the form is ...Lisa - don't let eBay scare you - the form is pretty straight forward you follow to sell. Shipping is easy - on the "ebay" form you enter it in there is a place where you pick what you want "priority", parcel, whatever and you just need to enter a weight and mark box or envelope or whatever - the person buying enters their zip and it figures it out. In your "ad" be sure to honest with what you see as the condition and that it isn't new and you are selling "as-is" basically - if there are any flaws just note them - i found just being honest is the best way like that - And something that works for me is a standard "blurb" about how and when I ship, a standard "no returns, as-is unless blah blah blah", etc. Also, I enter my info on the description in a word document before i go to ebay so i can cut and paste it over. That way i can keep copying the "standard" so i don't have to keep re-typing it. Make sense?Joannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02268530329503988928noreply@blogger.com
