Tutorial 1
First, you'll need to register, if you haven't done so already.

Place your credit card on file with eBay and you're ready to sell! Want to accept credit cards or Electronic Checks from winning bidders? Sign up for eBay Online Payments by Billpoint.

Next, gather the info you'll need:
  • your item description
  • the URL (Web site address) for any photos (see the photo tutorial)
  • the category you'll list under (antiques? toys? coins?)
Then, click on the Sell button at the top of any page. This will bring you to the Sell Your Item form. Once you fill in all the necessary information, you're ready to sit back and watch your very own auction progress.

  Remember: If you want to sell on eBay, you'll be charged two basic fees - and they're low! Visit Are There Fees? for more information.
