Re: Getting started selling on ebay
You will definetely need a scale unless you plan on running to the post office with everything to get the item weighed. I bought my scale on ebay and it was $30. It weighs anything up to 25 pounds. It's perfect!
Will you be accepting paypal? If so, you could always use that as your extra account.
As for the shipping, I charge actual cost plus 25 cents. Barely anything and nobody ever complains. I don't believe in making money on the shipping. I like to make money on the item. I have actually overcharged people on shipping when I was first getting started. I came home and refunded the money to them right away. I undercharged too and I just accepted the loss and chalked it up to experience. I have been selling on ebay for a few years now and my feedback is 100%. When I bought stuff on ebay, I always check to see how much they paid to ship it to me and how much I paid for shipping. If it's an amount that I feel is unreasonable, I won't buy from that seller anymore. That's just my opinion though. Good luck! There is definetely some money to be made on ebay.
