I finally learned ebay!!

katcarasella · 03-03-2008, 05:58 PM

While I was in Calif my daughter helped me set up an ebay account so I could buy and sell stuff. I've sold 14 items already, I'm pretty excited about it. I'm pretty good at crocheting and needlepointing so I may do a few things and see if they sell. It'll keep me out of trouble.

It's funny, I find myself looking around the house and wondering what things are worth.

I was even going though Maggie and Baileys doggie outfits to see what they don't wear anymore.

So far I've only sold medical type supplies, and they went like hotcakes. I tried donating them to my Moms doctors office, but they didn't want them.
Any ideas on ebay selling?

Kathy, e-Bay is awesome. I've sold old pots and pans and been amazed at what they brought. I sold a shawl I bought at the Gap that my family did not like. My girls used college text books. It's amazing what people will buy. And some things I was sure would sell were duds, but at least you're not out much if they don't sell.

One of my goals is to get organized an have a big sale on e-Bay!!

Great! Now can your daughter please go teach MY mom how to ebay so she'll quit asking me? She's in CA too! I love eBay. I've sold and bought so much crap on there. I sold half of my clothes one summer and made $800! You'd be amazed at what people will buy on there....I sold my admittedly USED bathing suit for what I paid for it brand new. Sickos!

I've really got to try this ebay thing...LOL. I've bought a few things, not many. I did try selling a fleece dog coat I made, but didn't even get a hit. Maybe if there is anything left from my garage sale, I'll see if it will sell on ebay.

I love e-bay and I've sold some stuff on there but mostly I'm a buyer. I do think that it's a great way to get rid of some stuff. You never know what might be a treasure for someone else.

An idea for you.....is to check the items that have sold in the last 30 days to get an idea of what your item is worth. You can do that by clicking on the words "advanced search" right beside the search button. Put your item in and click the square that says "completed listings" then click on search. It's very easy. Then the one that sold the best I try and do some of the same things that they did so mine will sell better. If you have any questions feel free to pm me. Good luck!!!!

No...I meant it more like Kim shops and USES hubby's paypal! He's usually clueless until his statement comes.

I just did that one, but it was on Amazon and for my brothers upcoming birthday. *goes to look for party supplies for the three year olds upcoming birthday*

I use to frequent ebay a lot, selling and buying. I have sold some designer handbags, wallets bedspreads, shoes you name it. Do what Diana said check out the closed auction to see what they sold for. I also have brought different things that I collect it is very addiciting... Just be careful if your buying designer stuff they have many fakes on there.

Ebay is one of my favs! I'm bidding on a pocketbook, a micro umbrella and a digital
picture frame today. I've been using Bid Assistant so I don't make myself crazy.

I just bought pee pads, frontline plus, dog ID tags for all of Jessie's dogs, gifts for my grandchildren, and I can't remember what else. I'm always on eBay. Whatever I need, I check out there.

I never sold there. It sounds like a lot of work, packing and shipping and so on.
My daughter is selling stuff now.

Kathy - what's your seller name?

DianaB · 03-11-2008, 09:44 AM

I get my Frontline Plus from e-bay too. Matter of fact, I just received some in the mail yesterday.

Janet · 03-11-2008, 01:04 PM

I so want to try selling on there again. Diana, you make it sound so easy. I just wish I lived closer to a post office...lol. If I have much left after the garage sale, I just may need your help Diana.
