Cheapest way of selling on ebay?

Want to sell some stuff on ebay but are there ways to reduce the charges?

Some items I need to put 2-3 photos on but if I only end up with a nominal amount for my item it isn't going to be worth it.

They used to have free listing days but not seen any recently.

Also, postage for kids games is really steep - some games cost £4-5 to post. Are they worth selling?

    For multiple photos, use a site like photobucket, and HTML the image into your description.

  • cheapest way is an auction starting low like 0.01p add the free pic as dave said add some pics with the urls by tinypic or photobuccket etc.... dont forget to add these on the next tab (the html tab ) otherwise you will just get the whole <img>random crap</img> rubbish on there instead of the pic..... or it is possible to hotlink but usually a bad idea (right click on any pic and paste as you would with text....)
    then you can get as many pics as you want for free

    Its free listing up to 99p for private sellers so no point starting at 1p

    I'd also be careful as many things go for start price, I've won many an item at elss than a pound.
