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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
