  • Digital camera
  • Concert tickets

Enter as much information about your tickets as you can, including seat and section numbers, start time, venue location and a list of the opening bands. Include a picture of the tickets.

Tips & Warnings
  • Make sure accurately enter any ticket information. Errors and typos can undermine buyer confidence.
  • Set up a PayPal account. You want to make the payment process easy; With PayPal you don't have to wait for checks to arrive and clear and you can mail the tickets to the buyer on the day of the transaction.
  • There is a fee for listing items on eBay. Add the fee to the price you paid for the tickets when you determine a selling price.
  • Don't set the minimum-bid too low. When the auction ends, eBay obligates you to sell the tickets for the winning bid.
