First of all, you would need an eBay account. In order to get one, you have to be 18, but don't worry for all of those who are underage, you can borrow from your parents, siblings or even friends. If it is practically impossible for you to lay your hands on an account, then you could try out online marketplaces such as facebook, myspace, or craigslist.
On eBay, the type of things you can sell are limitless. You can sell almost anything. With an account, next you would need good feedback ratings. In order to get positive feedback, you might want to consider the following things:
1. Shipping the item as soon as possible, but try not to damage the item, for it can be very frustrating to you and your buyer, if your item is money back guaranteed.
2. Answer potential buyers' questions to show that you are not a scam.
3. Honor the terms of sale.
4. Leave your feedback open to the public to show everyone that you are a very trustworthy person, but if you don't got any, then hide it.
5. Give others your feedback on their products. You no the saying " Treat others the way you want to be treated."
On to the presentation of the product. You should and I advise need to give an honest description. You don't want others to come after you with blackmails and negative feedback. When choosing the price for your product, pick a reasonable price. If you raise the bar too high, no one would want to get it. If you set it too low, you would be unfair to yourself. To avoid these complications, you can pick a hidden minimum sale price. You could also set up the "Buy It Now" option to set a price for it, but you would need to pay additional fees and have a feedback rating of 10 or higher.
That's pretty much all I want to say. With those extra cash you receive from useless junk, you could keep yourself updated or buy things that you want. The chances of your product being brought is every high with all those potential online buyers. The age of the internet is very helpful to both consumers and sellers.
