A few questions...

Hi
New to eBay. I have some stuff to sell, I know there's a market, because a few people I know sell the same things.
Anyway, I was wondering about a few things:

1 - Paypal
I have a paypal account set up, and I want all buyers to pay into this. Do I type this in the item description?

2 - I only want to deliver inside the UK. Can I do this?

Thanks alot.

    1. No it will come up as an option which you just tick.

    2. same again will give you varios options when listing just tick the UK only.

    Take your time with your listing, it is very easy to make mistakes when you are starting out.

    Good luck

    1 - You can mention it in your item description, or just select it when creating your listing.

    2 - You can select the countries you are willing to ship to as well when you create your listing. In your description you should put something like "I will only ship to the UK"

    1. no, when you get to payment options, click on paypal, then enter your paypal email.

    2. you can restrict to which countries you are willing to send to.

    If your selling a phone beware of nigerian scammers.

  • I remember my first listing and even when you know what you want to say it was daunting getting all the info, pictures and formatting right.

    You could try listing something for 1p in the category "eBay UK Tests - DO NOT BID" its in Everything Else->Test Auctions.

    That way for a few pence you can double check everything is 100% and pull the listing without upsetting bidders.
