When and if you guys sell parts on eBay, do you guys use the normal eBay, or eBay Motors? And do you set up a Pay Pal account for people to pay? I haven't done much of this so I'm looking for a little advice. Thanks in advance.

 

I use eBay motors, motorcycle parts. And I always use pay pal when selling and buying

 

PayPal is one of the safest and easiest way to get paid. Go thru and get Verified with your address and bank account.

What I do is do a search on Ebay for said item. Then on the left you can select Sold Listings and I look at what the recent price being sold for the item is and what the current asking price of items are. I normally try to go for what the previous ones have sold for.

Then I either do a flat rate 5, 10, or 15 dollar shipping or free shipping with buy it now depending on the item. Then expect to pay 10% to Ebay and something to paypal to handle it for you.

Worth doing if you cant sell it on here. I normally list here for a week or two then off to ebay.

Good Luck

 

Ebay is getting way too greedy! They even take a percentage of the shipping charges!
That's BS if you ask me!

If you are going to be shipping a lot, setup a UPS account through Ebay, you will get discounted rates.
It does add up too, my last package was 10lbs NH to Ca, about 12X18x24, and my discount saved
$10 on the package, was $45 without the Ebay discount. $5-10 a package adds up quick.
They say up to 32% savings if you sign up through Ebay.
Here's a link to get you started.

I've used UPS 2 times out of 1000. USPS has always been best on all but extreme over size. I've not bought from a lot of sellers because they use UPS at over twice the cost of USPS, free boxes delivered to your door and free pickup. I have never had an issue USPS buying or selling.

 

Where do you post things that you want to sell here on the forum?

you HAVE to use ebay motors for parts... thats where the parts category is... its just a subsection of ebay, not a seperate entity

try to sell it on the forums first... ebay takes 10% and then paypal takes another cut too.... sucks in the end for a seller.

 

I sell a few things on UK Ebay and buy a lot of my stuff on US Ebay - without it I wouldn't be able to do all the things I never knew I wanted, until I read about them on here!
