Lately my fiancee & I have been seriously considering selling on eBay..
We both have our own buyers accounts & want to sell our own things. He wants to sell sports cards & I see this as a gateway opportunity to begin selling my art(among other things)
I'm wondering about the Paypal account. It looks to me that I have to get a premier account, because the personal account wont allow you to accept payments. Am I right on this?
Also, the transaction fee chart is kind of confusing, can someone simplify it for me? Are these fees added to the eBay auction fee?
As you become more successful, how much time does it actually consume, answering emails & such?
We are lucky in the way that we have easy access to shipping materials, ups, & also the post office is 2 blocks away. I also have a digital cam, scanner & photo editing software.
I want to do this the right way, I don't want to put on a lame effort & end up with bad feedback.
The PayPal questions are the most critical because if I end up with my own website selling my art, I want to be able to use PayPal there, also.
I would sincerely appreciate any advice, I know that there are alot of intelligent minds on this board, this is the first place I like to go to get opinions!
