I need guidance using ebay, etsy, etc [View all]

Due to some personal issues and the need to get my bills caught up, I would like to sell off some stuff. Trying to figure out all the ins and outs of ebay has been horribly confusing. I am not interested in turning this into a business.
I have given up on craigslist due to the scammers, plus I don't have a cell phone which makes CL more troublesome with the scammers.

If you have patience and you want to help a crazy old lady out, send me a PM.
PS Guidance and advice is all I need.
