Do's & Don'ts of selling on eBay - Tiki Marketplace

First off, I agree with the "post as many photos as you can" and the "eBay nickels and dimes you to death/photos are expensive", a GREAT workaround for this is using a fantastic bit of software called Garage Sale. It manages your auctions, and will let you post as many photos as you want on ebay without any fees. The software is only for mac computers, but I'm sure there is a PC equivalent: http://www.iwascoding.com/GarageSale/ Second bit of advice I have is only accept PayPal payments, and ALWAYS ship with signature confirmation. eBay will hold your payment if you are a new seller until the buyer gets the package - and if you ship with signature confirmation you can enter the tracking # into ebay and the funds will be released as soon as the PO lists the package as delivered. Also, signature confirmation is required in order to take full advantage of PayPal's seller protection policies. Have fun, and good luck! Henrik
