Go to ebay.co.uk (obviously) and register. You also need to register for paypal to sell. The whole process can take a couple of days ( Phia had to do the same - she had to wait while bank account linked to ebay and stuff).

Then when in ebay go to top right corner and click Sell. You describe your item in a few words and click quick sell. It will come up with suggestions what category to put your item in. Describe it, add a price, add post and packing charges and it's done. To list is quite easy - the registering is the awkward bit, so don't give up, it may take a while.

If you don't mind what price you get, there are no ebay fees if your listing price is 99p or under. Then over £1.00 listing fees apply, you can pay 6p to have your listings start at a good time (when people are at home from work - so anywhere between 7 and 9pm is a good time. You can also list things to buy it now, just remember these bits and peices don't sound a lot but they all come out of your 'profit'.

Anything new sells, as so do things with brand names, so make sure you say it in the listing and describe as well as you can. Add inside leg, waist measurements everything or you'll be inundated with emails of questions.

And most important of all, have fun! It's great watching how many people are watching, and bidding on your stuff.

Sorry if it's a bit long winded, there's a lot to say. If you need any more help, just shout.

I don't think clothes sell brilliantly in my opinion unless they are named named smellies sell well (molton brown) as does good brand makeup. gift sets sell. ink cartridges. I'll keep thinking!

Good luck

Hi Phunkles, for CD's and DVD's I use Music Magpie here

http://www.musicmagpie.co.uk/

They are pretty good, takes a couple of weeks for everything to go through and the Cheque to hit your door mat but might be worth looking into if you have some to get rid off.
