How to sell on ebay with shipping and fees?

I’m thinking of starting selling some phones I have on ebay and some other stuff. How does it work out, I have an ebay account and paypal, what exactly does it work out like do I have to pay to sell the stuff and how does shipping work, do I pay anything for shipping or no.

All these questions can be answered by going ot the Ebay Site Map and read everything under “Seller’s resources”

BAsically it works like this.
1) you as the seller are charged a small fee to LIST the item. This fee is based on the ’starting’ price of the auction. YOU set this starting price. The lower the starting price, the lower your fee.

2) You are then charged a percentage (about 3%) of the total selling price at the end of the auction. This is in ADDITION to the listing price.

3) Once the auction ends, you take the selling price and add the shipping (if you know the total shipping weight, You Can get the shipping costs at the post office website www.usps.gov or even at ups.com ) and send this total to the buyer. (Some sellers place the shipping amount in the auction so that buyers will pay quicker, but you should plan on always using the invoicing system on Ebay so that buyer is notified of the amount due.) Since the buyer is charged the shipping fee, you don’t actually have any out of pocket expense for shipping (unless you make a mistake on figuring the shipping, so it pays to be accurate.)

4) Once the buyer has paid, you go to Paypal to collect your money and transfer it to your bank account. Paypal will take a small percentage of the total amount of the payment (including shipping, oddly enough)

5) You pack and ship the item.
