That last 3 month I have learned a lot about history, the Internet, and the best ways to sell online. I will only keep learning and getting better but there are a few things i have learn on eBay that will help out any one.

Here are 5 Tips From I Biz Weekly for selling and making more money at it!
1 You have 80 letter to fill to describe you item USE THEM ALL! Take a little time and write down and go look on eBay under completed listing to see what sold for the most and see how they described it.
2 Pictures you must edit them! Make them brighter and crop the pictures!
3 More pictures the better it sells. Would you buy used thing from eBay with out looking at it? No you have 12 pictures use them all if you can but minimum 5-8 pictures the more the better people will feel safe about bidding.
4 Don't scare people with shipping, Free Shipping will bring more money, i don't know how but it will bring at least the extra bit to ship, or even more. You wanted to get 40 out of it it sold for 57 and it only cost 10 to ship you made another 7 dollars, just an example.
5 Set your listing to end in the evening and weekends. Its the time people are on the more people able to get to a computer and in a shopping mode the more money and bids you will get.

These are a few tips to help out to get started. I will have some help videos soon teach you the basics of eBay and Craigslist to help get you selling.
