It's fun and easy to sell your stuff on eBay!

Now is the time to sell on eBay UK! Never before have there been so many buyers searching and bidding for items. People are bidding harder and more often to get the items they want, meaning that sellers are getting fantastic prices and making good profits. Why don’t you get involved too? You are bound to have something in a cupboard or in the loft gathering dust that someone else is willing to pay good money for. So don’t wait a moment longer, it’s a seller’s market out there!

1. Simply fill out the form or click under Sell in the Navigation Bar on the eBay home page. Choose a 3-, 5-, 7- or 10-day auction. Click on Sell Your Item, and you're in business!

2. Make your listing look great with linked pictures or fancy text. A short, descriptive title and a complete description of your item will also help your sales. But be truthful in your listings. Disappointed buyers are likely to leave you negative feedback.

3. Price to sell! Consider setting the minimum bid for your item a little lower than you think it will eventually sell for, just to get the auction going. Don't set it lower than you're willing to sell for, though. Be sure to clarify additional terms or expenses like who pays for shipping and insurance.

4. You can even advertise your auction. Just use this URL to point people to your auction: http://cgi1.ebay.co.uk/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=XXX (enter your assigned item number in place of the XXX).

5. Bidders or potential bidders might email you during the course of the auction. Don't hesitate to respond to all inquiries promptly.

6. Going, going, gone! When your auction ends, you and the winning bidder will get emails. Listing results—the bidding history, final bid price and email addresses for the seller and the winning bidder(s) or buyer(s)—are posted for 30 days.

   The seller and the winning bidder or buyer should contact each other within 3 business days at the end of the listing.

   The winning bidder or buyer pays you directly for the item, and it's your responsibility to fulfill the order once payment terms are met. The binding contract of the auction is between the winning bidder and the seller.

You may auction any merchandise you have the right to sell, as long as it complies with the User Agreement and is not on the prohibited items list. Please list your item in the appropriate category.
