Things You'll Need:
- Internet access
- Computer
- Valid credit card
-
Step 1
Sign in to your eBay account (see the Resources section below).
-
Step 2
Click 'Sell.'
-
Step 3
Choose the selling format you want. You can opt to sell your item in an auction or at a fixed price. If you have an eBay store, you can elect to sell your item directly from there.
-
Step 4
Pick a category. You must select a category for your item, so eBay will know where to list it on the site. You can also choose a sub-category, but this is optional.
-
Step 5
Create a title and description for your item. Really let your creative juices flow here. You want potential buyers to know exactly why they must have this item.
-
Step 6
Upload pictures of your item. While this is not required to create a selling listing, it dramatically increases your chances of selling the item. People want to see what they are buying.
-
Step 7
Decide on a price. If you are having an auction, you will want to select a minimum opening bid. You can also choose a reserve price if you like--meaning you will not sell the item if the bids do not reach a predetermined amount. You may also opt to sell your item for a fixed price and forego the whole auction experience.
-
Step 8
Select the number of days you wish your selling listing to be active.
-
Step 9
Provide your geographical location so buyers will know where the item currently resides.
-
Step 10
Provide your shipping details. Let buyers know where and how you ship and what you charge to do so.
-
Step 11
Click 'Submit' and you've just created a selling listing on eBay!
