I'd be glad to help. If you have a good set of scales then you don't have to weigh the item at the post office and can purchase your postage on-line. It works great and I've used it several times myself. Then to pick it up you can probably have your mail man come up to the house and get it. You'd have to check with your post office and see how to contact him when you have a package to mail.

It is easy to sell on e-bay but the first time is kinda'scary. When you get ready to do it call me and we'll go through it together.

Judy just be careful as to what bags that your buying on ebay. If they are designer bags make sure they are authentic. As far as being on ebay myself I been awol for awhile. I did sell bags, wallets and other stuff. It is not hard to do Janet just weigh your items with box and use this calculation.

I'm losing out on the bag. I love the look of it, and so I bid. I have learned my "designer" lesson. I bought a genuine Christian Dior wallet that was plastic inside when it came! Do you think I should have realized it was a scam when it cost $12.00?

Judy of course!!! 12.00 is way to low. I have sold some of my coach bags on line authentic that is. I look to buy sometimes on ebay, but you really really have to know your designer.. Good luck!

I must have had a blond moment! And I got mad when I received a fake:(

EBAY super easy to start
 

Hi Everyone!

My mom (katcarasella) was a model student, but it is quite easy! All you have to do is go in and choose a user name and password and register for an account intially for both EBAY and paypal if you do not have one yet. To buy and sell, rather than just "browse" you will need your ATM/debit card or a checkbook to "register" your bank information. Paypal is the median EBAY uses to accept and pay for items, as I am sure most of you are familiar since you have great AVITARS like my mom and probably donated to this site. Ebay is a great way to sell stuff, collect the money in paypal and support whatever online shopping you would like to do.

If you are fairly serious about selling you can browse the internet for a STOCK photo of an item or take a digital photo of it and click the sell it now area. I can answer any questions that you have, but it sounds like there are a ton of "well versed EBAY people here" too! Books are SUPER easy to start with, since they have an ISBN number on them that you can enter and all of the information is brought up automatically...super easy. I hope that my mom resumes EBAY with her books now. Books can be shipped via media mail too, which is SLOW but very reasonable.

Smiles and off to bed, TWO sick kiddos with temps tonight...FUN!:(

Well I can tell this apple didn't fall far from the tree..lol. Very sweet and helpful just like your mother. Thanks for the information. There is no way anyone could have problems now with all the expertise we have here at 4WT.

Thanks for the info, Jenn. Sorry about your kids being sick. It's going around. That fever thing has been going through my family too. My son-in-law has it now but I think that we're about to get through with it. If the kids are coughing we have a new idea for that. Put Vicks on the bottom of their feet. My husband and I both did it and it worked for us. Hope everyone gets to feeling better soon.

Thanks Jenn. I have as lot of books to get rid of. Maybe?

Judy, if you have a lot of books to sell then I've heard that Half.com is the way to go on selling them.

Actually, there's a pet shop nearby that's selling books to raise funds for a different animal charity each month. If he'll pick them up, I'll donate them gladly.
