Quick eBay Question.

    Hey, I was wanting to sell some things I have laying around on eBay, however, I've never used eBay before. I made an account, but my real question here is... Will anyone buy my stuff if I have yet to have any feedback on my account?
    Thanks for any help regarding this question.

    They will, but you have to provide a detailed report on what you are selling. Add a couple of pictures and some brief information. Try not to overprice as well.

    People will buy from you but make sure you give a clear detailed description of what you are selling. Dont forget to add a photo as well.

    It might be worth spending $20 on a few cheap little items just to get some positive feedback before you start selling.

    Just sell some items at cheap rates and get good feedback. Now a days people will not buy without positive feedback.

    Everything is possible to be sold with the help of eBay - even the things which were already in use and which you don't need.

    You can sell just about anything on eBay. Use the Completed Listings feature to see if your items have sold in the past and how much they sold for. This way you can post the most popular things first. Keep you prices fair, give good, friendly descriptions and always include pictures (but not too many since they cost extra and this can eat into your profit).
    As far as Feedback, you can always start with no Feedback as long as you're selling something people want. Feedback is overrated and anyone who really understands the way the system works knows that it doesn't mean much anymore. People who know the system won't be fooled by Buyer Feedback as opposed to Seller Feedback. So I wouldn't waste alot of time and money buying things to build Feedback, unless you were already planning on making purchases.
    eBay is a great way to get some extra income flowing and the sooner you get started the sooner you'll build your Seller profile.
