Sorry I missed a space in the question..

Where it says Is it worth

This time of Year, People are thinking about xmas presents, extra money to heat the house etc etc. So I have noticed you can get some REAL bargains on eBay at the minute. But is it worth your while selling on there, Or shall I just bin my old stuff.

Thank you for your answers

List it. It costs you nothing and people will buy anything.

Of course it's worth a try

Have you tried craigslist? I sell a lot of stuff on there and it's free. It's local too so you get cash money and don't have to mail anything.

I have found that e-bay works better for higher priced items, or one of a kind things, but is more hastle.

i sold my stuff but i think ebay take 10% of what you sell, i sold some things and got a £6 charge....if they aren't too dear don't sell them just bin them or give them to a charity shop

It depends on what your old stuff is. Unfortunately, if it's heavy or bulky old stuff the shipping costs will potentially eliminate any savings your buyer may have - unless it's extremely valuable.

Research a comparable item and determine whether it would be worth your while to sell or donate it to charity and take a tax deduction.

Don't forget you need to take pictures, write a description, list it, set-up a PayPal account, monitor the sale, pack it and take it to the post office.

I would say give it a go. I have sold little things now and again on ebay and am surprised they sold and it was nice with a bit of extra cash with hardly any hassle at all. Just make sure you plan everything beforehand, have the packaging ready and stuff. You can place your item as a bid or as buy it now, in both cases you can have a reserved price so you don't have to sell it for any less than you want. I have sold second hand shoes, books, bags etc not in the best condition. What's great about ebay is there will always be someone who is looking for that thing you are selling. Search for your item or similar items and look for the selling price by other sellers and match that price or go lower. A lot of people make a couple of pound profit on the p&p costs. I think the most important thing is a good photograph. Good luck.

It's always good to sell on eBay if the items aren't really heavy so the shipping costs will kill the sale unless it's very rare items and also craigs list is a very good place to sell you're goodies as well to the locals as well and if you check around I'm sure you can find a place to even set up you're stuff at flea markets or other sales around the community, As for the price on eBay, if you auction the goodies start the bid at a very low figure$.99 that way the cost of the add will be cheaper
