·3 years agoBesides reading the rules on eBay sales, you need patience, but it’s necessary so you don’t end up in trouble later on. In the meantime, I’d advise you in the settings to choose to sell only in Italy, since shipping abroad is considerably more complicated to manage, not to mention transactions outside the EU.
Since you’re just getting started, I recommend shipping on your own using Poste Italiane because of their local presence in case of various issues, storage/retrievals, returns, etc. Offer combined shipping to buyers so they have more interest and can offset the costs.
In any case, start with just a few items for sale or with 1 listing at a time so you can handle just 1 possible sale; otherwise, you might get anxious and/or confused when dealing with multiple buyers the first few times.
Pay attention to paid options; for example, if you set a reserve price you have to pay a fee that doesn’t fall under free listings. In short, you have quite a bit to read among the rules, it’s not possible to write everything here, it would take pages.
One thing I’m telling you before you start selling as a private seller is the European DAC07 regulation, in force from this year, which also concerns private sellers. I advise you to learn about it before you start selling both on eBay and on other marketplaces. On this, I’m attaching 1 post I had created where it’s discussed and which I’ll update if I find new articles.
