New to selling!

Hi, I would appreciate some help from you guys as you have so much knowledge.

I (finally) got my husband to have a clear out of his clothes today (actually yesterday now- hadn't realised how long I'd been up doing the washing!).
I have got rid of the non branded stuff to the charity bins but I would like to sell the branded clothes. I have items such as quicksilver, diesel, boden (and then I got bored....).
I have been a member of ebay for many years but have never sold anything on there. I have a paypal account but I'm sure I remember hearing something about not being able to accept payments to your normal account without changing it to an account that you have to pay a fee for even wen you use it to buy something.
Do I need to set up a new ebay and therefore paypal account, or do I just go with this account?
Obviously I am hoping to gain as much money from the transactions as possible but my main hope is to not lose any money (which is hard when you're not entirely sure what it will cost to sell!).

Would be very greatful for any hints tips and advice that more knowledgeable people can give me.

    yes you will need a premier paypal account on which you will pay fees to receive each payment, you never pay to use paypal when you buy on ebay though.

    Also worth noting that as a new seller you will be limited in the number of designer items you sell, and may even had some restrictions placed on your account.
