(Chapter 10 describes how to approach your selling on eBay
as a business, including setting up an eBay Store and selling
for others.)
Prepare to Sell
In order to sell on eBay, you need basic equipment, such as a computer and
a digital camera, services (such as DSL), and items to sell. This section will help
you set up the physical items you need to support selling, as well as provide
ideas on where to acquire items to sell.
Sell on the Fast Track
Selling on eBay can be as simple or as complex as you want to make it. If you
want to just get going and place an item up for bid, you can do that with a
minimum of effort and time, or you can formalize your selling and establish a
business of selling items on eBay. In any case, the following sections will get you
on your way.
SET UP YOUR DESKTOP
You will need equipment and services to connect to and use eBay. Ideally, you
should have the following:
??? A newer computer with the latest operating system and Internet browser (such as
Microsoft Vista and Internet Explorer 7.0, which is used in this book). A new desktop
computer and monitor can be bought for around $500 without breaking a sweat.
