Selling on eBay and etsy can be a godsend to someone who needs some extra money.

Brand new sellers could find many answers to eBay in the book "EBay for Dummies." I know the woman who wrote that book, and recommend it. You might be able to find a used copy.

E-bay is for everything. Etsy is more for certain kinds of things, such as vintage clothing, housewares, linens, decor, art, crafts, craft supplies, etc.

Many of our regulars in this forum have been sellers for years and years. I'm sure we can help you out.

I know that photos are a big hurdle for some new sellers. It has been simplified. If you have a digital camera and a memory card for it, the process is so simple. If you don't have a digital camera, there are still ways to make it work. A used digital camera would be worth buying, though. A memory card is inexpensive. It may plug right into your computer, depending on your computer. If not, a card reader cable is very cheap.

Do you have your eBay account set up yet?

Do you have a paypal account?

Have no fear, friend. We can make this work. And if you are willing to do this on the message board, other people can be helped, too.

By the way.......let me be the first to ask you what you have to sell?
