    Has anyone here sold stuff on Ebay or have an Ebay Store?


    Where do you get the shipping boxes and where do you drop them off at? Or can UPS come to your home and pick them up? I plan on making some extra cash on Ebay. just need to figure everything out first.

    the way I did it was by USPS...they have some free boxes so depending on how big the things are you can get it there.

    I think you can get UPS to come to your house to pickup...but I'm not sure because I never did it

    Depend on how much you want to make. UPS will do at home pickup for an additional fee. Also, you can pick up shipping boxes at an office supply store, a UPS store, Kinkos, or the post office.

    I believe our stamp collections have already paid for the boxes at the post office, so I'd start there.

    Thanks guys, i plan on starting out with small items that will fit in a big envelope or small box. What do you guys use to weigh the items? should i buy a weighing scale or can you just guess?

    Also i was wondering do you guys think it's possible to make $300-$500 a month on Ebay if you put 10-20 hours of work into it?

    We use a scale at our house, but we ship for our non-profit, not ebay, so I'm not sure how much you could expect to make.

    It depends on what you plan on selling.

    We ship care packages to kids in the hospital. Sometimes one at a time and sometimes huge boxes of them that go to hospital social workers. So I know quite a bit about packing and shipping stuff from home, but not so much about ebay.

    Thats Cool man, i just ordered 10 free Flat Rate USPS/Ebay boxes.

    Once i print a shipping tag and put on the box, can i take it to the post office and have them ship it ? or do i need to pay them more money.
