Ebay Class Hand Outs

Many of your class evaluation sheet mentioned you would like to have a handout. So, for those of you reading this blog, if you will click on the comments and leave your name and mailing address, I will send you a hand out that will list the fee structure for selling on Ebay. There are two fees involved with selling on Ebay. The insertion fee, which is usually under $1, and the final auction fee which is based on the price your item sells for. If it doesn't sell, all you pay is the insertion fee. If you want to accept Paypal payments (credit cards and checks) there is a fee for that. We didn't have time in the class to go into detail on the fee structure, so I think this handout will help.

Moving Picture Question

We received this question:

"Hey I dont remember how to move a picture."



I'm not sure which class this question applied to. Please leave another comment and be more specific as to what kind of picture you were wanted to move where?

Was it for the Ebay or the Movie Maker class? Do you know where the pictue is now and where do you want to move it?s

There are always several ways to do a computer task. I try to use one way in most of the classes.

Thanks to all and Ebay Class Continues Here

As always we ran out of time in the Ebay class so, I have decided to continue the class right here on the blog. Thanks to all of you in the class it was great and fun.

Some touched on how to build a rating. Obviously when you start out you have a "0".
Start off by making small purchases of things you can use. The rating is based on both buying and selling. After your purchases make sure the seller posts feedback on you.

You can sell with a zero feedback, but I would start with small items. Most buyers are hesitant to buy from someone with a zero.

If you have a lot of competition on selling an item, look for ways to make your item special, like free freight or throw in a bonus item. I have a bunch of collectible postage stamps that I will start adding as a bonus. Some sellers offer free freight if the buyer uses a "Buy it Now" .
