    Guys I too am trying to declutter my house, sold a load of stuff at a baby fair and on ebay. But to be honest Im not sure ebay is worth all the hassle. You need to be sure of selling high value items. And even by the time you pay insertion fee, final selling fee which include postage! and paypal there is not much left.

    I recently sold a few items at just 99p what a waste of time 99p free insertion fee as a free listing weekend but paypal fee was 37p and ebay fee of 38p equals 75p. So made a total of 25p and I still have to package it in brown parcel paper, what a waste of time why bother.

    I can see why people are moving away from ebay onto facebay and gumtree as you keep all the money..Or bumping up the postage fee to make some more money.Just a thought.

    I find the fees on ebay hard to deal with too at times - I tend to opt for BIN so at least i get what i'm asking if it sells. The listing fees are payable then obviously but i find my sales do cover it and give me a decent amount back (well when i had an account to use lol!)

    Just working on listing more atm but sales are scarce enough despite having gift style items available.

    I'm working on my own selling site so hopefully i will be able to build up sales on that and have no fees to pay or worry about stupid rules.....lol!
