What kind of items will you be selling?

You can get stung if you're not observant.

The main rule to not being stung is "Don't send to Nigeria"

thanks:D ...i'm just selling old tat really i have some cross stitch patterns, jeans etc nothing to expensive just needing to clear space

Nothing to thrilling to tell you then

Remember to take into account postage/FVF's/paypal/listing fees, after these will you make a worthwhile profit?

Be very careful with details on used clothes, some buyers are very very picky.

Make sure pictures make the item look its best, up against a white cloth, or bedsheet etc

Good luck

Remember to ask for a certificate of posting from the post office. This allows you compensation of up to £34 if your item goes missing or is damaged.

I think postal charges increased today.

standard compensation is always 100x the current cost of a first class stamp

cost of 1st class stamp went up today from 32p to 34p so compensation rises from £32 to £34
